you meet the nicest people in a Subaru

[Bserk]

Ok, Im not sure if anyone will find this post-worthy, but it gave me a chuckle. I took my dogs for a hike today. Im in the Southern Adirondacks of upstate NY and we have had our fair share of snow this year. But higher up in elevation, just a little further North, they have really got a ton of snow pack. We were headed to a little used trailhead where I can let the dogs off leash without bothering anyone. The road to the trail heads further and further higher in elevation and further away from civilization. Within 10 miles I went from dry pavement, to hard packed snow, to gravel road coated with snow and ice. Nothing extreme or impassable, but enough to make me appreciate the Sube. I got to the parking lot at the end of this dead end road and there were 3 other cars there... another Outback wagon, a newer Legacy wagon, and a Legacy sedan. Hmmmmmm..... I so wish I'd taken a camera! I wanted to make a sign and put it on a tree: 'SUBARU PARKING ONLY' I ended up chatting with the owners of the 2 Legacys. I can only paraphrase an old Honda commercial- you meet the nicest people driving a (Subaru) I just got a kick out of it.
