Don't worry it will give you and your daughter something to share interest in.

You will be able to cruise around in her Subaru and check out chicks together.

Sounds like they're implying that maybe these women weren't really lesbians, they just said they were.



Pretty standard marketing terminology. They don't vet the people just ask for them to identify a certain way

Subarus are like the offical State car or something up here. Everyone drives them, except lesbians. They drive a Prius or Toyota Tacoma.

How many times on your way to Starbucks do you take your Subaru off road rally-style??

Nope no rally no care but I do like starbucks (no not a gd dbl latte w/ a shot of raspberry, just dark roast w/ cream please), like roger I have a Tacoma when I need a truck or go offroad. Winter is a pita and AWD cars are great, I commute 30 min each way plus a 90 min commute once a week. AWD make it easier to get around, my Subaru or old RAV are much better in snow or ice than a 4wd truck.

On a test drive they took me to a loose gravel parking lot and said giver her hell try and get wheels to break loose, it was really tough the awd system really moves the traction around – fun times.

Just so you know I was jm with you... I have a Silverado and love it, but I'm also not too dense to understand that different folks have different expectations/needs for their vehicles...

if a Subaru is what you need, go for it, I just find them to be a hideous looking car/SUV... I've never seen one that made me say 'damn, that's a nice looking vehicle'... find the best looking one on the Internet and post it and see if you can change my mind (I don't mean that as an insult)

So lesbians love Subaru
Hajis love small Toyota trucks and any small motorbikes
Rednecks love jacked up z71's with truck nuts

In the south you can drive most anything and get around OK, in the Northwest and some other parts of the country having the wrong vehicle means not being able to get to were you need to go, in those areas what the vehicle looks like is not a deciding factor.

Either lesbians prefer Subarus, or driving a Subaru turns a woman into a lesbian.




maybe lesbians are smarter than regular women because they act more like men.

After a lot of research I bought an Outback last year and am very happy with it.

1) Reliable
2) AWD - My driveway isn't paved and can be tricky after a rain, and I spend time on back roads.
3) With the AWD it easily pulls my boat up the ramp.
4) My kayak can go on the roof rack or in the back, but it's much easier inside the car.
5) I can sleep in the back at a campsite rather than set up a tent.

If I didn't do so much outdoor stuff I might have gone with something else but it's perfect for what I need.

It's funny that it's seen as a Lesbian car. Out west they are all over the place and I think they are seen as more of an outdoors car there.

I recently bought a 2016 Subaru Legacy and it is a nice looking car. Very fun to drive.
