Greatest Setting- Go Dogs

Gib, maybe you knew this and maybe you didn't, but here is a factoid I've always found to be interesting.

Since the founding of Israel, there have been embargoes & counter-embargoes between those prohibited from selling to either Israel or the old Arab League, which sort of morphed into the arab portion of OPEC, and which today is an interesting collection of arab nations (some of which really do not like each other) that still co-identify when it comes to Israel. These embargoes covered virtually every kind of manufactured product.

Relevant to your post, through all of this Subaru has been the single Japanese auto maker that stuck by Israel during times when the rest felt compelled to choose the arabs.

Subaru's market share in Israel (and frankly, the affection many from there have for Subaru's in general) should not be a surprise.

Perhaps you intended the irony of Ana Mari driving a Subaru while bowing to the Israel protests earlier in the Gaza fighting. But if not, I thought it was worth a mention.

I was referring to a different stereotype of Subaru drivers.

Anybody that doesn't drive a Toyota is kind of - well - stupid. 20+ years, 6 Toyotas and counting. My current Highlander will be my last car.
There-fixed that for you. About 900,000 trouble free miles so far. :) Sold one Highlander to SIL, one Highlander to best friend, and one Highlander to best friend's friend from his church. Those also have been trouble free. Two pick-ups. Four Highlanders, only new cars I/we ever bought, 0% interest to purchase is a good thing.

I assumed she drove a Subaru. Shrug emoji.

I'd fix it by substituting Lexus hybrid SUV. Over 500,000 miles since 2005 (I'm on my 4th one). The only problems have been with the German radio that the 1st one had. The current version is getting me 36.5 mpg.
 
Subaru's are awesome. I’m just finding this thread funny learning that our resident Muricans have spent their lives driving foreign cars. Figured y’all for Ford and Chevy diesel truck guys not Toyota hybrid guys 🤯
 
Subaru owners?? NTTAWWT of course.
I still doubt that Loyal gets it.

Ok Gibby you smarmy ass - what don't I get? Some lengthy acronym? WTF do you drive? I venture that it's a Prius.

90 - I'm a Chevy truck guy. My 350 Silverado is my baby. Ex-wife got the diesel.

Hopefully you put unleaded in it before you handed it over.
