strange vehicle

[CrnCnn]

People that drive Subaru's are freeking strange. I've never met a Subaru owner that wasn't a nutcase.

I've had a few Porsches in my time too. Maybe I'm a jerk, or maybe I just don't like the wierdos that drive subaru.

I know all the ones around here drive like morons....

My boxster was extremely reliable. It broke on me once and left me stuck in Myrtle Beach for a few days longer than I was planning....darn.

I drove it every day, all year long. My insurance didn't go up significantly. I don't like having a back seat cause that means I have to drive more often when a few friends want to go somewhere.

I think people that drive VW's are strange too. I think it's the same group of people. They are the same people that decide not to eat meat. Losers!

LOL, I'm not so sure vegetarians fit the mold exactly, but yeah, the VW clan is like some weird alter ego of the VX clan maybe. Most of the VW people I know of fall into the yupster crowd.

This whole discussion really is interesting. There certainly is a stereotype associated with certain vehicles. Like all stereotypes, it's never 100% of the time true, but I would say it's damn close!!! Especially for those pompous BMW drivers!

If you watch Breaking Bad you will understand how much I loved this scene:


Burn BMW, burn!

PS - I have to admit though, I love BMW motorcycles...

Funny how you keep skirting the issue.

Please, Jack, just admit to me that they are nothing special to look at. Just another 4-door sedan with a bunch of stuff under the hood and a spoiler glued on. Then I will quit.

I would rather BE a wolf, than a wolf in sheep's clothing.

i disagree...i think they are well designed... designed exactly what they are made to do...RALLY!

just like the VX

they just arent as flashy as the porsche

I paid 23k for my boxster and it only had 23k miles on it. I don't think that was terribly expensive.

I had an El Camino for a few years.

One of my co-workers came up and asked me to hit the hydraulics. He really thought all El Caminos could bounce.

Very rare to hear muscle cars being ''poo pooed'' as useless and outdated. Speaking to their held value should tell you they are certainly not worthless. Time will tell if a Subaru will hold equal value as a driving icon as the muscle cars do to this day. I certainly do not get "happy" squeezing into a civic "tin can" and having a 16 year old driver show me what fun behind a wheel is all about. I'll definitely pass on that.

good thing me, nor my mechanic are 16 huh?? im almost 23 and my mechanic is almost 30 now....

his civic is fully race built...all motor, not driven on the street, although it is street legal... no turbo's or superchargers and it runs that well at high altitude, which says a lot for the car..

I've seen plenty of them, maybe on pinks-and hundreds on the streets. All the drivers I see are very young, and I doubt if a hi-percentage have full roll cages, I imagine getting a car to fly that fast has alot to do with it's weight-thus the "tin can" comment. Glad you have a niche you like, it's your life- like whatever you want.

Did anyone notice the links posted in the ebay auction for the superman VX? One of them links to a video of Kasia. She's famous! LOL.

Back on topic, the vehicle in the original post is a heavily modified Axiom. It was built by Mike Goldin who owns a subaru shop near where I live in Aurora. http://www.summitauto.us/

He also has a modified subi forrester and he's taken both of them to Moab a few times. Here is the cardomain page for Yurchalka http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2477601
