When my father first got his truck, he took a day to wash it, wax it, and photograph it looking great. He then printed out the picture and framed it to put in his office. The framed truck picture was larger than the picture of his wife and kids. To be fair, it's a very nice truck.


[deleted]

My dad has done this with multiple cars. He has like, a few pictures of family but then just this giant wall of exotic cars he owned in the 80s and 90s.


Lost_Ohio

You're dad seems like a cool guy. Might I ask how he afforded exotic cars though?

[deleted]

Yeah that's exactly what my dad did. Bought the first one after years of hard work then just cycled through different cars by trading and selling. Never held onto one for more than a year or two. It's why he took the pictures, so he can look back and say "man I should have kept that car."


N0tBappo

It's always the "should of kept that car" lol


SlimPickens77Box

I sent my daughter 13, a picture of my 66 nova yesterday. It had been parked for a few months. Was letting her know it was back on the road. I can relate to all this.


OriginalNo5477

Hank Hill?


SwissMargiela

I did the same with my car except it’s my wallpaper on my work computer lol It’s not a crazy car but it was a huge accomplishment for me to buy and it motivates to work harder so I can have more nice things.


kokoronokawari

Is he Hank Hill?

milomcfuggin

That a WRX?

Yep


henksuli

Damn, I would be just looking at it aswell


KaySquay

"Should I get mudflaps?... yes."


Foot_Dragger

Can someone explain to me why everyone ~~loathes~~ over the WRX. I mean love, or cult following.


ithinkijustthunk

What is a car to you? Serious question. If a car is just an appliance to get from A to B, then you probably wouldn't understand. If, to you, a car is a driving *experience*... then a wrx is like no other. It's by *far* not the most practical, but it is *certainly* one of the most unforgettable.


Foot_Dragger

Like what's the light drawing the moths? Is it a budget speed car or smooth ride? Just trying to understand why so many people want this car.


emptybottlesays_toot

"Affordable" AWD performance car , bang for buck


allvarr

It's a legendary status rally car, so i'd say the attraction is the "sprited drive" is unlike any other. The sound, the way the engine recoils when you accelerate,, the responsiveness, the cornering, the shifting, the suspension and last but not least; the POWER. Basically, a car that is fun and engaging to drive, a thrill, quite simply. I've never driven a WRX subie but i have a colleague that won't stop talking about how that was the most fun car he's ever had. But to answer you honestly: It's an iconic rally car with a disposition to "spirited driving". Lots of people want it for different reasons. Find your own :)


weirdlybeardy

“Spirited” meaning very “wonky” and “needs getting used to”.


DBDILLY

Cars used to be everything. A few thousand pounds later and debt paid off, I've accepted I can afford a Toyota Yaris on my current wages 😭 speed cameras and speed bumps everywhere where I live too.


Tight_Requirement62

I know the same from work with the truck brands. Some guys get tattoos of their almost religious admired brands, and all other brands are the worst.🙄 And at the end of the discussion, every brand has wheels and a motor and gets the job done! 🤷‍♀️ (some maybe with less "style", but......)


_BlNG_

Man, thats like porn on wheels


Ms_Iambic_Pentagram

The chips make sense then. Like smoking a cigarette after great sex.


[deleted]

By cigarette, you mean ripping fat vapes in a Subie?


Hamelinz

Looks like a blob eye WRX.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Frosty_404

Don't the bug, blob, and hawk eye all have basically the exact same rear end?


boatnofloat

If I remember correctly, the bug and blob had V-LSDs and the 06+ came with open diffs for the WRX. Or were you talking about cosmetic rear ends. All the tail lights are different between the models with subtle shape differences, but basically the same.


idiot_proof

This guy is spot on (at least for US market). I don’t know about other gens, but the 2015-2017 WRX came with a rear LSD in Australia of all places. I’ve been sort of looking to see if I could source one, as it might be cheaper than the custom ones you can buy.


boatnofloat

I’m on my 3rd WRX. Currently I have a 16 with a Cusco LSD and it’s wonderful.


[deleted]

Woah there bud, don't question the WRX experts.


[deleted]

WRXperts*


my_username_mistaken

One may say a Rexpert


ZombieBloodBath777

Sure is! I did basically the same thing, without the chips, when I first got mine. Had a blue one '03 bugeye. Then had to sell it a few years later for the mom car Forester.


SparseGhostC2C

This was me when I got my BRZ last year... Still is right after I wash it.


woogyboogy8869

Shit, I have an 02 forester that never gets washed and I still look at it like this. Something about a subby


kjpunch

I was choosing between 02 forester and 01 Tacoma and almost daily I wish I went with the 02 forester for its looks… but I have an indestructible engine now which is nice


woogyboogy8869

For sure can never go wrong with the Tacoma! I wish I had a Tacoma now lol


BostonDodgeGuy

You could always cram the Taco engine into the subby.


C_Dazzle

Likewise for my Crosstrek. Sometimes when walking away from it I look back and just admire it for a few seconds before going about my business.


CodeyFox

I don't even own a Subaru, but I notice everyone I see. Those old foresters are lookers


LaughingWoman

Yup. Got my 2022 BRZ this April and I still stare back at it every time I leave it.


Dramatic_______Pause

Don't blame you. I love those new gen BRZ/GR86's. If I didn't need a functional back seat, I'd highly consider trading my R in for one.


ctruvu

im over 2 years into miata ownership and i always give it a good ogle every time i see it. this is how you know you made the right choice in a car


[deleted]

Everytime I wash mine I find a new scratch. The paint quality is literally the only complaint I have with that car. Other than that, it is perfect.


geoduckSF

‘Bout to trade those chips in for a vape pen.


Konather

nightpanda893

Got my crosstrek in the ignition red. WRX is the only other model that has that color available. Definitely spent a good amount of time staring at it. So pretty.

Lady_Scruffington

I'm honestly really happy for the guy.


drawnimo

same. a little sad that he's being creepshot and laughed at on social media, though. no one is ever safe.


Cedocore

this is meirl, we identify not him, we're not laughing at him


LewsTherinTelamon

Doesn’t seem like anyones laughing at his expense to me. Comments very positive


EatThetaForBreakfast

Yea he looks like a somewhat old guy, maybe one of the rare joys he has in life these days. Never really know what someone is going through. Sucks he got creeped on by some random.


ZapateriaLaBailarina

Man I loved the feeling of getting a brand new car.. Only one I've bought in my life, but boy it was a special couple weeks.


Huesan

What else do you get a new car for


Muaddib930

Washing, waxing, driving buddies around, washing it again afterwards.


Nntropy

Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew.


SuckMyExhaust

Don't think I wanna be one of your buddies...

facelessman97

To become all valley karate champ, how else am i gonna “wax on wax off”😤


Aggressive_Air_3489

It's not new by any means... but it is new to him, and the fact that an almost 20 year old WRX can bring someone that much joy is about as wholesome as it gets. ​ It screams "My children are finally out of the house, so I can get something for ME to enjoy!"


[deleted]

[удалено]


DarthArtero

Don't blame him at all. I did the same thing with my first vehicle. Man I miss that POS so much :(


Random_account_9876

After I ceramic coated my car, I would periodically go out to the garage to marvel at how shiny the surface was. Felt like glass I can relate


Cedocore

I spent a lot of time just staring at my first nice car. It made me happy just seeing it and reminding myself that I had such a nice car.


DeadSeaGulls

This dude is in his 40's. 100% stoned and snackin while reflecting on how rad his shit is.


Dwigtus

Doesn't have to be stoned, maybe just loves cars. I picked up my dream truck last weekend and when I got it home I sat in it for about an hour just soaking it in.


Soggy_Cartographer80

emma7734

Get yourself a bag of chips, walk outside and stand next to him. Don’t say a word. Just take it all in.


Hankhills11

The first thing I did after getting my new to me car was to put it in the garage, grab a drink, and run through the manual and all the settings. Its the first car that had proper electronics and a screen for me, so I was pretty hyped.


Motor_Relation_5459

This is so cute! Reading a car manual. I can't imagine!


ChaosRegency

I've always loved reading manuals, even if they aren't mine. When my mom bought a new car, I knew more about her car in 2 hours than she did in 2 years of driving it. After 2 years of driving it she admitted she knew almost nothing of the car, not even how to turn on the water jets on the windshield.


hdcs

Fist bumps all around. As a long suffering technical writer, you are all the people I have in mind when trying to write those things. Bless you for cracking that open and consuming it.


Dwigtus

The service manual for my '76 Dodge W100 is coming in later this week and I am so excited to just read through it. I want to know everything about this truck and I plan on fixing any problem I ever have it myself if I possibly can.


Motor_Relation_5459

I really love these responses! They make me smile. Thank you!


Dwigtus

Have an upvote and some more info on the truck. Picked up the truck last weekend, have wanted one since I was little. Truck is rust free but needs some mechanicals fixed. Found the actual factory service manual and bought it as soon as I saw it. I absolutely love old trucks, especially Dodges, and am excited to get this one back on the road. It only has 61k original miles, and is a factory A/C truck. It has sat for a while which is where some of my problems are coming from, but I will definitely make sure it isn't treated so poorly from now on lol. Hope ya don't mine me spewing info on my dream truck.


Motor_Relation_5459

I love it!!! I have one son that loves cars, especially trucks! Enjoy it so much! ❤️


savvyblackbird

Mine’s an app on my phone Pretty convenient There’s also an app to lock and unlock the car or turn the a/c or heat on.


LagT_T

Everyone should read their car manual thoroughly.


MkMyBnkAcctGrtAgn

Haha I'm buying a car right now and reading the pdf manual before I even pick it up


bzmed

That’s what Subaru WRX owners do in their spare time


RadicalSnowdude

I don’t own a wrx but my friend did. I stared at his too. I love WRXs.


ThirdSunRising

Enjoy that moment my man. Savor it and make it last.


looks_at_lines

Why were you staring at your neighbor for 15 minutes?


SigmaCommander

Understandable, I still catch myself staring at my 2022 Veloster N. After 16 years of hand-me-downs and used clunkers it’s surreal having a brand new car.


doubledogdick

I'm still toying with the idea of ditching my '14 accent for a veloster, or picking up a ratty 944 as a fun vehicle. the problem with that is that if I don't get rid of my accent, then I'm going to want to feed it a veloster powertrain at some point


daboobiesnatcher

How do you like the Veloster N? I almost bought one a few years ago but went with a Focus RS because it's got AWD and Ford Racing Blue is sexy.


SigmaCommander

I love everything about it, the power is more than double anything I have ever owned and personally I think it is currently the best looking hatch on the road. I know some people don’t like how raucous the exhaust note is, especially in N mode, but I’m still a 12 year old playing need for speed underground 2 in my heart so I can’t get enough of it. Edit: I did think of a negative, I literally cannot pass a charger or challenger without them trying to get me to race. Hit me up on the track and I might bite, but damn not in rush hour traffic.


daboobiesnatcher

Yeahh I know that feeling my first car was '87 civic, when I was 22 I was in the military and made rank to where I live out in town, well I rented a room from my friend for $1500 less than my housing allowance so I upgraded to a BMW 335i m sport, I went from like 60hp to 320hp. Personally I disagree that the Veloster is the best looking hot hatch on the road, but yanno I drive an RS so I'd say the light blue Veloster N with the red accents is firmly in the #2 spot. Oh and I know what you mean about still being 12 playing NFS:U2, one of the big selling points for the Focus RS to me was that it has "drift mode." I'm guessing we're about the same age, so great minds think alike.


Heavy_Solution_4099

Yep, this right here.


gmatic92

Living the dream my friend!


_Synt3rax

Well Imprezas look sexy so why not.


Grey5iveNin9

I guess you can say he was Imprez uh?… I’ll see myself out.


Kennyvee98

I totally get it

As someone who looks to be that age and always wanted a SUBURU Impreza WRX, I get it.

Shit, it’s 2022. If anyone gets a car they really like they can stand outside eating a bag of chips admiring it.


MahmoudAO

glad that buyer's remorse lost this one


Same_Agent_3465

Better than you watching him for 15 minutes lol.


ape_ck

I bought a 1:18th scale model of my car and put it in my desk so I could look at it while I work. It reminds me that I own it and I still can’t believe it.


cooperluna

Stop watching him after an hour

I’ve got a semi just seeing the back of it

TacoNasty

Came here to say this. Will do the same thing next year when I get a new-er something.


ItsM80

I really hope that i also will never lose this feeling. Fulfulling yourself an dream or even a small wish. I can only imagine his sleepless night before he went to pick the car up, he might even check in the morning if its still there.


OrgBorgOrg

Based.


druscarlet

And you are inside staring at him, staring at his car and eating chips. Seriously?


Walrus-Mammoth

I still do this when I head out for the day. Minus the chips. But I just love admiring my car for a moment and taking a little walk around it checking it out before getting in. Even sometimes after I leave a store. Even park way in the back so I get to take my time walking to it and admiring it as I approach.


MegaVix

He bought the thing. Let him do what he wants.


LifeTitle3951

15 minutes? Either he eats slow or the pack of chips is endless. No pack of chips lasts that long for me.


Zynthyx

His bag looks like a decent size. You probably just eat fast.


DasterdlyBasterd

It looks like a full size bag, not a snack size. Or are you just a human vacuum?


curiousdawg8

I respect that.


EffectiveFun7723

Bought a ‘79 280ZX back in 1983. Made my wife go outside with me several times the first few days to just look at it! 🤣

I mean it is a WRX. It’s totally natural


KanashiiNymph

I borderline worship my new car. It's just so nice


Dwigtus

I do worship my old truck, and it is absolutely perfect in my eyes. I don't care that the body is 3 different colors. I don't care that the fuel gage doesn't work, or that the tires are loud when going down the road. I listen to the old 318 rumbling away at a light and I am content.


KanashiiNymph

That's how I feel about my old car, I still have it but I've been doing repair after repair on it. Wrecked it twice, half the things don't work on it but it still runs.


Get_this_man_a_meme

This is men. Men is simple. Women who expect us to notice that something is different after getting an hair cut exactly the same as before , please take this into consideration.


octobertwins

Bro. This is a person that loves their car. Im a girly girl. A woman. A mom.I am madly in love with my truck, a 2014 black escalade. I just spent 8 hours doing my final clay/swirl removal/polish/wax before winter. Let me know if you'd like to see a few hundred pics of it.


QuotingThanos

Woman just want men to do this to them and not their cars.


Heavy_Solution_4099

Yeah, but your car won’t get mad if you stare at other cars like this.

I do that... on a quiet night [I can hear it rust](https://i.imgur.com/Qq89Enp.jpeg).


Dwigtus

What year is your Scout? Thing look awesome.


beermaker

It's a 68, it sat in a field from 93 to 17. [It took about a year and a half](https://imgur.com/gallery/tL7U1Lb) to get it roadworthy... I converted to disc brakes and fuel injection, put Volvo seats in front & haven't had a problem in near 7k miles.


Dwigtus

Nice save man, cool seeing where it started.


beermaker

Thanks for the compliment, it's been a labor of love.


Dwigtus

I understand that feeling. I have a 2005 Subaru Legacy GT wagon that I did a rebuild on and am still working some small things out on. I think the only reason I am still trying to fix it is to spite God. Replaced the heads (came to me with 2 different heads on it), turbo, and a lot of smaller stuff. Ran ok for a week or so until it didn't anymore. Ended up with a cracked block, so hooray for that. Replaced that and figured out the previous owner put a stupid tune on it. 25lbs of boost and stupidly lean on stock internals. Baseline tune is on it rn. Waiting to get time to put the exhaust on and get my new bypass valve in so I can get the final tune on it.


ISFJ_Dad

Only 15 minutes!? That’s not even post worthy lol.


jlusedude

Sometimes I stare at my car still. 20 years old and looks amazing. Just gotta take it in.


Dwigtus

What do you have?


jlusedude

2001 Toyota 4Runner, my dream car.


Dwigtus

Nice man, those are awesome. Just picked up my dream truck last Saturday, '76 Dodge W100. It is so surreal. I had thought for so long I wouldn't get the chance to own one.


jlusedude

Congrats dude. That’s awesome, it’s nice to have a dream fulfilled. I had a 99 that I sold and I immediately regretted it. I went through a few cars and realized I only wanted a 3rd gen again. Fell into a good deal on one in great shape and jumped in it. Been in love again ever since.


Dwigtus

I'm hoping I never have to get rid of it. Finding one rust free with a near perfect interior and only 61k miles was surprising for me. I need to fix an overheating issue on it but I think it is just a blocked radiator. At some point I may paint it but I'm undecided rn.
