I'm not trying to sound like an ass, but the generalized assumption that every subaru owner acts like this really irritates me. Every brand has it's owners that are but to just assume everyone that owns one is like that is rediculous. I previously owned a Subaru for 3 years and many of my close friends as well own WRX's/STi's/etc and not a single one of them carries that sort of attitude, regardless if they have work into their car or not. I'm sure there are plenty of VW owners that are ZOMG shit about their car.
Personally I've always thought higher of the VW communtiy and members of this site in avoiding the stereotypes placed on other brand owners. However the more I'm here, the more it's appearing that you all have brand-bashing elitists just like any other car brand forum.
Everyone has their preferences, and everyone carries enthusiasm about their car, but for god sakes it's a car. The person that acts like that is going to act like that regardless, whether they own a honda, subaru, vw, etc at the time. Let people drive what they wanna drive and stop hating on them because it's not the same brand car you drive.
