It'll show up soon, along with a sticker for your closest national park. (lemmy.world)

I hate this stupid stereotype... Your bumper stickers are completely random.

Mine grew a "CRAPITALISM!" sticker.

Our 2012 Subaru with a Megaman decal and a Cthulu-fish just saved my spouse from being horribly killed by a driver who blared through a red, t-boned the shit out of the driver's side and flipped him, absolutely crushing the car, but not him. We're 100% getting another, (an older Outback if possible) and I will wallpaper that mofo in COEXIST if it keeps either of us as...not dead.

Below: just about all we could salvage from the impound after it was decoupled from the other driver's car, flipped upright, towed and totaled. We have their front Honda emblem, though, cause it was stuck in our car!

My Subaru outback got hit in the driver's side back door by a truck (a fencing company's two axle rigid), I was doing a u-turn and he divided it'd be fine to overtake me

The Subaru had four people in it, no one was injured. I expect the damage is just the door. We were pushed a little sideways

I hope you proudly display their emblem as a kill trophy in your new car. As tradition demands.

New truck nut type accessories? Dangle from the tail as you drive to let all others know the power of your steed?

Dunno but I do have my badge

They are having supply issues, I ordered mine almost two months ago and they still haven't shown up.

If it wasn't on there when you bought it new, that's a manufacturing defect. You can get it replaced under warranty.

My 2017 outback has a 3km/h speedo error. Most cars have a 5km/h error. Where I live the slow lane runs at 95 in hundred zones and the fast lane at 100 to 105

We do still have idiots who stop at the end of an entry ramp after falling to merge at a third of traffic speed, but they're in all sorts of cars

where i live, it's nissans. especially qashqai. i could swear those are physically unable to reach even 70% of the speedlimit. that's the only vehicle you never see tailgating you. merging onto the highway behind them is scary because you are going 40 km/h where others are coming 100 km/h behind you.

Where do you live? In CO on the highways I always get tailgated by Subaru's while speeding. I used to own one so I know they're basically red lining it but they're still flying along

It's almost like it's selection bias

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Probably someplace Subarus are ubiquitous and driving under the limit happens a lot, it just happens you see more Subarus doing it because, well, lots of Subarus.

Where I live there always seems to be a tool going 5-10 under. Wouldn’t matter that much except it’s a metro area and just a couple of these clowns can really mess up traffic.

Hey! It doesn't need to be your closest national park.

My wife keeps threatening to get me a "My other Subaru is a Subaru" for my old Outback. I threaten to get her one for her Tribeca, but a Tribeca isn't a Subaru.
