Day after day went by.. I was worried it was me... Maybe it's because I live in New York... Maybe it's because it's cold outside... Why hadn't I gotten any compliments yet? Well.. I went to the corner store to get some beers so I can finish this dreadful research paper. I was at the window and I saw a large man in his 50's staring at my car. "Is this the moment I've been waiting for?" I thought. He laughed and said "I need something like this.. Small, it's a stick shift right?" "Yes it is a 6 speed in fact" I replied. "I need to get something like this real soon. Tired of friends asking me for rides" the large man said. I told him how much it costed and he looked at me like I just told him that I saw Jesus flying on a blue pig with Cinderella. He proceeded to shower me with compliments about the car and thanked me for telling him about it. Yes.. Finally...

I get asked about it at LEAST once a week. I once had an elderly couple (had to have been in their 60s) motion to me to roll down the window at a stop light and they immediately asked how much it was and whether or not I loved it.

I told them the price and that I do in fact, love this car, and they flashed me a thumbs up.

Lol people question me like I'm crazy when they see me winter driving mine, guess it's a little more rare to see an 86 in the middle of northorn ontario.

Part time job, parents pay for it, combination of both, possible inheritance, lots of loans, or possibly already has a good job and still going to school.

lol, my first compliment was a grade school kid walking home with his friends. I just hear "DAYUUUM?! das a subaru??"

He walks up to my open window and gives me a high five.

Then as I drive away he is like "STICK SHIFT!"
