I saw this thread over on SF.org & thought it might be fun over here aswell :)
Anyway I'll start it off.

You know you own a Subi when....

....when you see real 4x4 drivers jaws dropping when you nail a steep rutted hill climb first go when they don't (or just can't)

....when stopped at lights someone asks how deep a river have you crossed, you tell them & they say I'm not going with you then & roll their window back up.

....when you raise it, put a bull bar on & the guy in the sports car next to you laughs, only to start crying when the lights go green.

Regards
Mr Turbo

I'll play ... :lildevil:

You know you own a Subi when....

....when the council officer and shire engineer watch you drive Roo2 with 4 adults on board a vehicle length up a sandy cliff at around 40° at the end of a car parking space at Clifton Springs, and then leave it parked there. The officer comes over and asks you if you know any good 4WD tracks, instead of booking you ... :iconwink:.

....when you shoot past the guy in the fancy Mercedes sports car at 170+ km/h heading towards a marked 55 km/h corner on the Lancefield/Tooboorac road, in Roo1 ('93 Impreza ... 1.8L N/A; heavy as lead; gutless as hell off the mark; just fabulous for punting it along on the open road ... ). He gives you the really!? look as you go past, then you disappear into the corner under heavy sedation and now in third, with the engine screaming its guts out, and you don't see him come round that bend until you are over half a km down the track ... :lol: :lildevil:.

Just love that symmetrical AWD handling ... and MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS!

....And when you never got a service or repair bill (including a service) for over a grand in 234,000 kms and 18 years (Roo1).

Just love that build quality and engineering ... and MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS!

Thanks, fellas.

But I really didn't choose my screen name randomly ... :lol: :rotfl:

It was either that or SOFA-47 ... :ebiggrin: :biggrin:.

I like to think that I am somewhat more sensible and far less dangerous than I was when (much) younger; but that's only my unsubstantiated, and not unbiased opinion ... :iconwink:.

In public, SWMBO carries two paper bags - one for my head; and one for her's, in case mine blows away ... :cool:.
 
Here's a few more.

....when you spend hours & hours cleaning it, then go 4wding the next day.

....when you look forward to rainy days knowing your Subi will look after you.

....when planning a holiday, it must include dirt roads, the bumpier the better.

Mr Turbo
 
.... when you have to find a heaven instead of a wrecker for your very first one....
 
when the rumble of a boxer grabs your attention......
 
... You find yourself using cruise control in third/LR ... (today, in Roo2 ... ) :lildevil:
 
You know you own a Subi when....

.... You go screaming up a sand dune in reverse right after the tools in their 'real 4WD's' can't even drive up.
.... You scream out how awesome you are after completing a rocky, rutted hill that city slickers in their 'real 4WD's' won't even attempt.
.... People say "Is that a real 4WD" and you reply, "Yeah mate, It's an unreal 4WD!"
.... People stare at you at the lights and ask if your Soob is raised. Only for you to reply, "is it?"
.... You have to do reverse donuts because you physically can't do them going forward because the AWD is just so awesome!
.... You overtake 6 cars although your Subi is as slow as a truck but you just know you'll get passed.
.... You drive like a maniac in the wet as you know you have better traction that every other fool on the road.

You know you are a Subi nut when....
.... You find your self thinking about going hardcore offroading even when you are pre occupied with a woman in the bedroom :iconwink: :lol:
.... You dream about going out with your mates and having an awesome time offroading.

^ That's a good one!

.... When you don't even have to stop to put it in 4WD as your already in AWD
.... People say "in that??!?!!", when you offer to snatch them out of the bog.
 
Thats a classic Species :p
And I was waiting for that one from taza about the reversing :lol:

Here's another couple.

....when you don't care that your vehicle is shaped like a brick because it still flies past almost anything.

....when you start swearing & cursing because the parking lights won't turn off :twisted:

Mr Turbo
 
...when you smack yoursaelf in the chin with the window because you cant see the door frame (happened way to many times)
...when you put on a big exhaust to hear the boxer rummble and sound like your going fast! when in actual fact your just making alot of noise
...when your screaming up a hill climb in first doing 6,0000rpm, and the real trucks cant make if with lifts diflocks and chargers.
 
You know you own a Subi when....

... You see a Commodore with the number plate "SLYDER" (yesterday) and know why he called it that - without even thinking about it ... :iconwink:.

... You see yet another car with a post-shaped ding in one of the rear doors or mudguards, and know exactly how it got there. And thank your symmetrical AWD (yet again) for the fact that you are unlikely to score such an injury unless you do something extremely silly ...
I have seen one Subi with such an injury; just the one - in the last 30 years ...
 
....when you have to bring a book to read while you wait for the patrols and LCs to catch up on the fast sections.
 
...when you pile up as much snow as you can in front of your car just to see if that 3ft high, 5ft wide wall would at least slow you down a bit (it doesn't! :p)
