I try to explain a little bit, partly because I like to inform people, and partly because I get a real kick outta seeing how confused some people get hearing that my Scion FR-S with Toyota badges is actually a Subaru

I always give the entire explanation. Plus, my license plate is a nod towards Don Adam's Maxwell Smart Agent 86 character, so I have to start by explaining the 86 reference part. The best part is watching everyone's eyes glaze over by the time I've said Toyota, Subaru, and Scion in the same sentence. Their unstated message? "Dude, I was just making conversation. I didn't REALLY want to know anything about your car..."


sigh.
