When did the Impreza become a douche-mobile?

So there I was, driving down Speer, when next to me I spot one of those V10 Audi R8s. I love the way those sound! I wanted to hear it so bad. Unfortunately, there was some nice kid in a flat-brim bro hat right in front of me in a WRX. Stupid thing sounded like Jonathan Winters farting into an empty 55-gallon drum. Come on, MAN!

Rant over

Why Jonathan Winters? Why not Jackie Chan?

Called a Blow Off valve. Kids get the idea to throw a large horn looking BOV on those cars and think it's cool with the sploosh of boost being bled off between shifts.
Look up used prices on STI's, and you'll see.

Wait, you're in Denver and just discovering that the Impreza can be a noisy little biatch?

They also hold the world record for most freeway lane changes made in 5 minutes without gaining an inch of ground.

I'm pretty sure the whole front range area is the epicenter of subaru impreza douchedom.

That's one of the few nice things about phoenix... very few subarus.

I guess it all started when I bought my first one in 2009.

Part of the fast and furious wigger movement which, according to certain scholars (me), eventually merged with the monster energy fad. The wigger movement then began a change from loser white kids trying to act thug to loser white kids being dumbasses all by themselves without taking so many cues from black thugs.

Gogar it's surprising you're just seeing this! But I commend you for your disdain of flat brimmed hats.

Next lesson will be on the lame poser phenomenon of ________ life. Hint: salt is the most obvious one in coastal areas but there are many others.

According to Wikipedia, some time in 1992

Honda Civic, Miata, Subaru... dare I say even Porsche and BMW are not safe from the "stance" crowd.

RWB?

I was at super car Sunday and all these little backwards hat douches were drooling all over an RWB 911. Ironically the RUF yellow bird 2 cars down could kick its ass around a track and nobody was even looking at it!

3 times..i can remember it clearly.

3 times i have tried on a flat billed cap. i INSTANTLY look stupid. i cant pull the look off. i think some guys can. they look cool and hip. me, not so much.

the car? i love them!! i wouldnt mod one so badly, but the car themselves are very kickass and capable for a jolly good time. i'd give Mr. Winters a heart attack.

...as soon as average young drivers could afford the used subies...

Same thing with BMW & Merc's where i'm from, I don't think they sell them with turn signals anymore.

It's not the BOV

It's the silver-painted Folger's coffee can instead of a muffler.

The flat 4 makes it worse.

Those d*** things are everywhere here.
