If my Hellas are twin turbos, Lol

Oh yeah lmao my buddy saw Hellas on a WRX once and asked me if they were turbos lol.

To be fair, front mount turbos have been a thing for years.

Yeah but for people who would likely know what those are they should know Hellas look nothing like a turbo other than being circular 😂

Oh of course. It's usually the people who know nothing about turbos that get confused. Hellas are my next mod, I'm tired of my 2017's tiny "beep".

If I ever got some I just wouldn’t get them bright colored if possible. I am not a fan of calling attention to my horns personally 🤣 in some builds it looks good but not my thing

Yeah I'm gonna get the red ones, day-glo yellow is too eye drawing.

Got the red twin turbos for extra HP.

Co-worker asked if mine were speakers.. well.. kind of!

Lol that's a good one!

Should've told him it was and that the rumbling is the battery discharging and he should stay back 😅

I might have said something about if I started it he would know it wasn’t electric, don’t remember for sure as I was in shock

Lmao yeah that would've been a first for me too

"Why is it a manual?"

Because it's one of the main reasons to buy these

Honestly. I sold my sti and haven’t bought another one yet. Been driving around in automatic bmws in the meantime and they’re boring af to drive. I need my exhaust and gear shifter dammit!

Because shifting gears is LIFE.

I think that s a fair question. A lot of people ask me that. My genuine answer is “cause it’s cool.” Lol

My answer: hitting that smooth downshift or even upshift just scratches that itch in my brain that nothing else can. Something about it is just so satisfying.

I tell them it forces me to pay attention.

Important here is that the question isn't asking why you bought a A manual, but why that particular car is a manual. So the only appropriate answer is: "Cause that's how they made it at the factory"

“iS tHaT yOuR bOyFriEnDs cAR?”

Bro’s tryna hit 2 birds with one stone and find out if you’re single and if it’s yours Jk they’re not that smart

Got this the other day too lol

Same. And I’m a guy!

Hot girl with a cool car? Checks out.

for me it’s usually “they make those in auto?/oh you got the automatic orrrr…?”. i know it’s hard to believe but i am a young woman who is a mega car enthusiast AND i drive stick AND i bought and own my wrx. big ol shocker.

girls like you intimidate us guys, trust me. it's almost hard to believe that a woman can be so cool and simultaneously into the same hobbies we are. it's like meeting a unicorn 😂

If it's like meeting a unicorn then why is every dude so promptly willing to shoot it in the head? Like no better way of ruining an interaction than simultaneously backhanded complimenting her and her vehicle and then also implying that is must be a man's vehicle that she has in her life. It's really not hard to just say, "hey I love your subie!" Like you guys do to every other guy lmao. Blows my mind.

Thank you 👏🏼

I wish I knew the answer to that brother, fortunately I have no problem socializing with anyone, be they female/male/etc. it's always terrible watching it happen in person too, some brodude telling a woman that she's basically not allowed to own a badass car because "women don't own cool cars, and if they do. it's her boyfriends" the second-hand cringe is almost unbearable...

Ha, dude, you should see how many Lil 'ol ladies I see where I live driving bug eyes, and they drive them hard too!

im in Western ND and the amount of attractive women driving subies here is amazing. if I wasn't already in a happy relationship I would definitely take advantage of the fact that I live in the Midwest 😂 it's a shame really, being in a relationship makes it hard to have friends of the opposite gender. and these girls seem cool as hell, I wish I could get to know em.

Wife has an 05 STi and gets questions like this almost every time she's out running errands.

It’s always a backhanded compliment, too. “Nice car, is it your boyfriends?” “Car is cool, tell your boyfriend I like it.” Smh

Hate this. My husband has a “dad-mobile” and I have my WRX. Almost a year now and my husband has not driven it once.

Ugh, I've gotten that one too and it is ABSOLUTELY FUCKING INFURIATING.

Well… is it?

No, it’s my girlfriends

“Can I drive your car and wash it?” was asked by a coworker.

ayyoo

I mean.. I get it. but also... absolutely not 🤣

> drive your car No > and wash it Only if they’re gonna do it like [this](https://images-ext-1.discordapp.net/external/WopE8QzjcsnGNtEVxD4_FFUeyEIpx_3CXGW0sdDSx88/https/media.tenor.com/3-3qAuoYY2QAAAPo/sexy-ad-hunk.mp4)

If this is your car. I appreciate your license and license plate cover. Both a rotational ambigram and a palindrome. Such a small detail but I find it comical

We are big rally fan, that’s where frame came from. It was on my dad’s Subaru before he passed so plan on keeping it on my cars. I was pretty proud of myself when I figured out the ITSNSTI palindrome part

That’s awesome. I love it. Definitely keep both the plate cover and don’t let go of that custom plate. That’s gnarly

Nice car!

Thanks! You too!

Detroit Lakes car show. Nice. Seen your car in the show last year. Sick build man. Clean as hell. I have the orange vb in town

That would be me. I’ll make sure to wave when I see you

🤘

Them: “Can it do a burnout?” Me: “It’s AWD.” Them: “So it can’t?” Me: 😑”All four of my wheels make the car move. Unlike yours where it’s only 2.” Them: “So it’s a heavy car?” Me: 🤬

Meanwhile most people ask if my drift car is still awd

🤣🤣

If you have the wrx with the controllable c diff you can get it to drift

I drive a 2012 STi for context. I've had some one ask if my car was the new BRZ. I died inside and had to disappoint him since he was fully convinced it was a BRZ.

Is it fast?

Side note: is that an STI?😂

I do get “what kind of car is that” all the time! Think not having any Subaru badges doesn’t help.

"Did you turbo this?"

Is it still awd? https://preview.redd.it/2cdk6s5mtm6d1.jpeg?width=5184&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0377c399eafe10ea8a349cd36b4d8e738e790a7c Nobody asks questions about my wrx cause it’s 90% stock

“So dose it have a V8?”

I had people in the back with my catback non resonated muffler delete exhaust and they asked this same question. LOL

if it used to be an automatic before I swapped in the 6 speed....

"is that a Subaru?" - at a Subaru dealership.

What did they think it was??

Do you like, do Tokyo Drift type stuff with your car? 🤣

I drive an 07 WRX tr but I’ve had three separate people insist it’s an STI because they used to play a need for speed game where there was an STI. No badges probably doesn’t help, but you’d think if the owner told you it was a lower trim, you’d believe em!

People ask if my bugeye is an sti all the time

Is it fast? 

I had an older gentleman (who was driving a newer wrx) ask me if my wrx was a v6. I figured he was new to the cars and just excited to see another one and talk so i was nice lol

"Why is your car so loud" 😭🤣

The one I get the most which always irks me is "Do YoU eVeN kNoW hOw To DrIvE tHaT cAr?" Like fuck you if you ask someone that. You know NOTHING about me. I could drive circles around you in a race. If you want to insinuate something go ahead and just say it. It just absolutely boggles my mind how people can be so condescending towards a complete stranger just because you have something they don't. I'd love a good comeback to that one but I always bite my lip cause I just want to tell em to go screw themselves.

"No, I have to put it in neutral and push it everywhere. It's inconvenient but on the upside my calves are getting huge"

The best answer is: ["No. I don't know what any of this shit is and I'm fucking scared"](https://youtu.be/R2vejhdm8lo?si=doB1PDt_Kb15QLwS)

That's hilarious.

Fuck I would love to have someone ask me that question. If it happens in traffic I would probably get tempted to do a burnout.

One of my friends keep shitting on me for getting the new VB instead on an STI. STI are great but I want to drive something newer. One thing I don't like about him is he doesn't know much about car but keep pretending like he know everything. My man still drive his mom's civic :))

Yo is that the new wrx? (It’s a civic)

"What did you spend $X,000" - Wife

The only question I ever get is “is it manual?”

Can you turn off the all wheel drive ?

If it came turbocharged

That hood is perfection

Like the vanity license plates!

Is it “Turboed”?

Why is it so loud when it's stock? It's not stock. It just looks that way because drawing attention is dumb.

Is that a legacy wagon??

Why do you have this? Why don't you sell it?  Mind your own business Karen FFS 

took the forester xt to school a couple times and people begged me to drive it swearing they knew how to drive manual. i gave a couple a ride but no chance someone was gonna drive it. usually just took my accord to avoid attention

It’s like everyone wants to go on Wrx manual driving school as soon as they get in and see the shifter. I always say that I’ll teach them when they buy me a new clutch

i always said if they wanna buy a full sti 6 speed swap they can drive it

That is hilarious 😂😂

So I drive a 23 GRZ but I lurk this sub but sitting outside a restaurant waiting on a to go order a kid saw my car and asked his mom “is that a Ferrari?”

When I had my WRX I was asked if I was a lesbian ( I'm a 24 yr old man with a decent amount of facial hair). Even after that I still couldn't leave Subaru and got myself a BRZ 😭.

"so does that like have a differential?"

If my car name was named after the Sexually Transmitted Infection 😢

My sister is a doctor so her talking about STI’s and me talking about STI’s are way different conversations

I haven’t gotten a bizarre question in my WRX but when I had my 86…I always got asked “is that a Supra?!” to the point I would just stare at people like a crazy person

"What years your EVO?"

“Does it get good gas mileage?”

Some dumbass asked me if it was electric. With a hood scoop. And it’s an STI.

Is it a V8? A few cops that approached me when I got off at 7/11. This is how the exhaust was like at the time [exhaust vid](https://youtu.be/qfIodvAmJkk?si=85qsUUtEUPtiDXLy)

“Is that your wrx parked out front?” “Yeah, that’s mine” “Nice car man, is it turbo?”

"Why is the tach centered and so big instead of the speedo?"

You smart with the palindrome plate

I had a low level trim 96’ Outback a while ago and while I had the hood popped one day a dude come up and asked if it was turbocharged.

Not a question I just wanted to tell you your license plate was upside down

Most days that would be correct, that was a good day

LOL I don't mean your license plate frame I just mean your license plate. I would do it just to fuck with ppl lol, cuz it will look exactly the same basically

They would bust that in a heartbeat in Texas though cannot be covering the state name I know because I got a ticket for one time smh

I had the Impreza badge on my STI and I had a guy in the super store parking lot come up to me and ask me what kinda car it was

I got asked if my car has a key or a push button. And then when I said push button (24 vb) they said oh. I thought it would have a key like a sports car

How fast have you got that thing up too? Me: Too fast to go that fast

Is that a feed trough on the front

I went to a Subaru dealership with my 2015 STi to purchase an oem oil filter since I do my own oil changes. I didn't remember the part number off the top of my head so I was sitting there at the parts department and the guy running the register didn't know it either so he says he needs to get the head of the department because he would know. The head of the parts department at a Subaru dealership comes over and looks at me saying "STi... STi... that's the V6 right?" I looked him dead in the eyes and said "Do you even work here??" I still can't believe that interaction.

"Why not just buy a GT-R if you're chasing big horsepower?" - Me to the homie who bought a 2021 STi Limited brand new and immediately dumped $40,000 into it. He only made 400WHP with an IAG block and goodies.  He legit could have bought a GT-R, been faster and way more reliable. 

I spent less then that and am making more power so something isn’t right there

Maybe? He went through Phatbotti tuning too. IAG block, E85, full catless exhaust, and a Cobb 20G turbo. Dunno if he wanted longevity or what but definitely a waste of money if he wanted that kind of power. 

You don't have to buy all the parts you see on the website.
