And when I was about to pull up next to him at a red light, I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life that the person driving it would be wearing a backwards hat. Man, woman, some sort of alien...it doesn’t matter, that driver was 100% going to be wearing a backwards hat.

Is there any other car where, when you see it, you can so easily assume something about the driver’s appearance? Glasses on a Prius driver maybe, but backwards hat in an STI is a blue chip, real deal, sure thing.

How do you even sit in a car with your hat backward?

GT-Rs, Porsches, and Maseratis in a college town...

Silverados and a lip full of tobacco.

He had the seat leaned way back, but he himself was leaning forward. Because that's what race car drivers do.

To be fair, Silverados don't have door handles to open the door anymore. You have to pack a lip and then a little sensor makes sure it's gross enough to let you in.

That’s one of my favorite road trip games. Based off the car and driving mannerisms, guess the gender and appearance of the driver.

That hurts my back just thinking about it.

Old men in Corvettes and 911s. Corvette drivers typically in shorts and t-shirt, 911 in slacks and button down or polo.

So I must look really weird driving my STi with no hat, normal clothes and two kids in car seats in the back.

The kids will have backwards hats soon enough.

Extremely so, yes. But it's nice to know there are some normal folks out there who just enjoy a turbocharged AWD rocketsled without being the sort of person who wears a backwards hat.

It's a common thing around here for some reason. They recline the seat and then lean forward...I don't get it. Conversely, my seat seems to get slightly more upright every year.

Old men in Vettes would probably be the top answer if we were on Family Feud. I at least sometimes see middle aged-ish men in 911s, but out here Corvettes are old guy central.

I had a similar experience tonight but in reverse.

I was at the gym working out all alone, and one other guy comes in. He’s the kind of dude who’s fat but lifting decently large amounts of weight, very self consciously checking himself out in the mirrors the whole time, and wearing a T-shirt that’s a little too small because he thinks it shows off his arms but it really just accentuates his gut, and a gold chain. I’m pretty sure he did a couple of exercises only because he saw me do them first.

So... I went out to the parking lot, and there’s a lifted Silverado 2500 with a brush guard, bro wheels and tires, blacked out taillights, diamond plate tool box, aftermarket headlights with fake BMW LED halo rings, and the license plate said, I kid you not,

ZEROFCS

It was like the most perfect match of a person to a vehicle ever.

Me too. Well, except that my WRX isn’t an STI. I had a backward-cap-wearing guy in a Civic try to bait me yesterday. I guess he couldn’t see my wife and kids in the car. :/

Full size pickup drivers love their work boots. Which are always in mint condition, just like their trucks. Because mall crawler. I saw a white F250 with a 12” lift yesterday - the driver was so short that when he exited the vehicle, he looked like a kindergartener jumping out of the back of a school bus during a fire drill. And yes, he was wearing tan Timberlands.

Is the backwards hat as sure a bet as seeing a lesbian in an Outback?

A valued member of the community for raising awareness of people with backwards hats driving Subarus.

And using the ancient “what does that say about you” gambit makes you the most unoriginal, cliche person on the planet. So bravo to you.
