I call bs on that! Pics or it never happened.

Nick Koan 2010-11-03 03:49 PM

No, I don't think you guys understand. I only saw one Subaru so far today. Its weird, I usually see at least 10 a day.

I saw three... in my garage.

I also saw MikeK's at work today.

And I saw Bill Hetzel on the freeway in his new ZR-1.

Snoshado 2010-11-04 04:25 PM

I only saw two in my garage... might be adding a third tomorrow though.

Frank 2010-11-11 12:57 PM

Saw a light blue colored Legacy GT this morning that was lowered on silver STi BBS wheels with the aftermarket mudflaps over by Microsoft Licensing, was that anyone here? Super clean car.

JoeWRX 2010-12-17 06:31 PM

Saw Cody (I think, yellow wagon with an scca sticker on the back) in the Raleys parking lot off Seventh n Keystone earlier today.

cody 2010-12-17 06:51 PM

Yup, that was me. :)

I'm never going to Porno Subs again. Raleys has better and cheaper sandwiches and cheap good soup too.

JoeWRX 2010-12-17 06:58 PM

Haha! They do make damn good sandwiches, never had their soup though. I figured that was you, don't see many yellow wagons around.

The Jimmy Johns over here by campus is pretty decent. They make a sandwich in like 15 seconds.

I can't imagine a better tasting $5 sandwich than the ones I get from Raleys. Jimmy Johns is just alright.

BBQ beef sandwich at Golden Flower. Back when it was $2.50, it was the bestest deal in town.

cody 2010-12-21 09:38 AM

I like Golden Flower, but their prices kinda suck for us big eaters. I like the #19 from Pho777. It's <$7 including tax. It's basically rice noodles, grilled pork and shrimp, and an egg roll with some salty, sweet vinagrette for lack of a better term and some chili sauce.

JoeWRX 2011-01-21 03:49 PM

Saw a cool black bugeye with a front mount and (I think) aftermarket or painted headlights, right behind me at the 7th and McCarren intersection.

WRX06TR 2011-02-25 04:52 PM

Saw a sick red STi on a trailer today in Sparks. Custom red paint, wide body kit, black Volk TE37s, red cage, big front mount, and a Crawford Performance banner on the windshield. Looked mean, anybody know about it?

100_Percent_Juice 2011-02-25 06:36 PM

WRX06TR 2011-02-25 06:48 PM

Ding! Lol...I've been following that build too, never realized he was in Reno.

BOO 2011-03-27 06:16 PM

Saw Andy on 80w over by the Nugget today. I waved a few times But I don't think you recognized me buddy lol. You were in your Taco.


Also while at Costco in Reno I saw Khail + Fam. Nice to see you again Khail :)

khail19 2011-03-27 09:29 PM

Good to see you guys too!

Stop sign thing is true too. Reno loves stop signs. There is a Y right near my house where a single yield on 1 leg is all that is needed, but no, it has 2 stop signs instead which most everyone ignores.

I've never seen as many friggin stop signs in my whole life as I have these past 8 months in Reno. Every intersection in my neighborhood is a 4 way stop...and 4 people, one at each stop sign, awkwardly taking turns starting and stopping, terrified to enter the intersection. And round-a-bouts don't alleviate the problem very much as everyone seems to be terribly confused as to which lane to be in, what "yield" means, and exactly who is supposed to be yielding. :?:

zpeed 2011-03-28 11:10 AM

Yesterday I got honk while I'm in the round about by the big SUV that gonna merge in. WTF

MPREZIV 2011-03-28 06:22 PM

Pretty sure I saw MattR's new ride headed west-bound on 80 Saturday morning. I was eastbound, but the blur looked look like a JCW on Team Dynamics!

Wasn't me man....I WAS in the Frontier that morning heading West... The Mini has been in the garage all warm and dry. :cool: Although it does appear that EVERY Mini in the area is dark grey :cool:

MPREZIV 2011-03-28 07:23 PM

Who ever it is, they're tryin' to steal your style! Clearly couldn't place the wheel pattern, but they were the same color.

EvilJanannigans 2011-04-02 03:36 PM

I saw 3 GD WRB STI's driving around on Wednesday...popular color :)
Tried waving one of the guys cause we were driving side by side on south virginia for awhile...he definitely did not wave back. Had stock wheels powder coated and some COBB and other window decals.
How come every time I wave to you guys you quickly look away?! My feelings are hurt haha :)

I had to learn the hard way that only 1 out of 10 Subie drivers you wave at in Reno, wave back. In Norcal everyone waves.

Nick Koan 2011-04-02 03:41 PM

That's due to the higher concentration of Subaru's up here.

EvilJanannigans 2011-04-02 03:47 PM

Yeah if I waved at every Forester, Outback, and Impreza I see I'd have one exhausted arm...and I assume they would all think I'm crazy. But I would think my fellow STI owners would be looking and waving back? Not a single one since I got my car.... :(

That's what I thought too. I don't have an STi but you figure turbo'd Subarus with aftermarket wheels and/or exhausts would wave back, but it's really rare. I do get waved at like once a year, but it's super rare.

Think I saw Cory on northeast-ish McCarran in Sparks earlier today

MPREZIV 2011-04-03 08:42 PM

Yep, didn't think you saw me.

JoeWRX 2011-04-03 08:52 PM

I didn't recognize you until the last second it was too late to wave haha!

100_Percent_Juice 2011-04-03 10:01 PM

Joe, didn't you get the memo? We don't wave to people unless they have a turbo.

GusGus91 2011-04-03 11:05 PM

I think I parked next to deans Audi at BJ's today?

Yea, people rarely wave in this town anymore. It used to happen all the time just a year ago. Now rarely. Especially when Im driving the wagon. Although since I put the new wheels on, I've had more people notice me, and actually got a couple waves today.

I had someone in an sti wave at me in the svx the other day. That *never* happens. I did wave back though!

EvilJanannigans 2011-04-04 12:36 AM

Well I don't know who any of you are in person but if you see some chick in a white STI waving frantically, please wave back cause I can't take any more rejection.
Although I'm getting windows tinted tomorrow so now you won't be able to see me :cool:

Man, I can't even get people in other SVX's to wave at me. I wonder if the guy recognized the STi wheels I had on the car.

Actually... it was a '08+ STi that waved the other day... was that you? I don't know that I've ever seen you on the street in the '08?

I think I've only ever seen one svx driving. I didn't wave because I was walking through a parking lot and it's just weird to wave not in your car.

Nope...the bummer is that I'm not "allowed" to roll them down for at least 5 days after the tint so I had to ride around, baking in the 75 degree weather today.
The tint looks sweet though :D

WRX06TR 2011-04-04 11:09 PM

Don't worry it's supposed to snow Friday :lol:
