Subaru Spirit Animals

Dave is back from the Diode Dynamics event and is excited to shareWe find out our Subaru Spirit AnimalsAnd we look for the disappearing Group A LegacysSubaru Spirit Animals — Which One Guides Your AWD Destiny? 1. The Boost Badger – Small but loud, aggressive when provoked, and will absolutely pop and crackle at you for no reason. Lives for tunnels.2. The Roof Rack Raccoon – Hoards gear on top of the car like shiny trash. May never use it, but will die defending it and it's usage.3. The Rally Rooster – Struts around like a WRC champion, crowing at sunrise during cold starts. Never misses an opportunity to be heard.4. The Cargo Area Corgi – Loves the outdoors, sheds relentlessly, and somehow always leaves paw prints on the windows.5. The Maintenance Sloth – Moves slowly toward necessary repairs, often years after they should. Somehow still survives.6. The Parts Possum – Collects parts in secret and hides them away “for later.” Later never comes.7. The Snow Leopard – Graceful and powerful… but only appears when it’s snowing or icy. Completely vanishes in summer.8. The Exhaust Peacock – Displays a loud, flashy exhaust note to attract attention, often accompanied by excessive revving.9. The Sticker Salamander – Bright, colorful, and covered in markings. Lives happily in damp hatchback environments.10. The Check Engine Chameleon – Adapts to whatever error code appears that day. Can clear codes faster than a dealership.11. The MPG Unicorn – Claims impossible fuel economy numbers no one has ever verified. Possibly mythical.12. The Rally Ram – Headbutts life’s obstacles at full throttle. Grocery runs are timed stages.13. The Dealer Deer – Easily startled by dashboard lights, instinctively bolts toward the dealership.14. The Forecast Falcon – Eyes the horizon for storms to justify AWD adventures. Frequently wrong, always enthusiastic.
With Dave on the road to Diode Dynamics, we talk about the Company23 and Kartboy Merger, messages sent by viewers, and Subarus sales numbers and our way to fix it!
