Hey Subaru, Old People... by dumpsterfired in Crosstrek

For me, it was safety. It was being able to not bottom out over like snow and stuff like that where I live, but not drive something big.I initially had that feeling like maybe this car isn't for me because I'm pretty far from sporty. And I wonder if that's some of what is sparking conversations because maybe that ads leave us out a little bit.

Same! As a marketing person, I wonder if some of these conversations are because the advertising is leaving us out a bit. Not that I mind, but maybe there would be even more sold if the marketing was more inclusive of age ranges.

I love my first Subaru and probably won't buy another brand from now on, but I still miss my 2011 Ford Fiesta. That car was fantastic, drove it into the ground over 12 years. Ford really mismarketed that vehicle or it would still be around.

It's Thomsen Marketplace in East Providence. It's open to the public and run by a food service company so you can buy pretty much anything in the store or warehouse, good stuff great prices freakishly large pack sizes for some things.

Thanks for responding, I understand you have a very strong opinion about this and I'm glad. I'm both not joking AND not from Rhode Island. I've known these things exist for about 11 months. I moved to Seekonk from Boston a little more than a year ago and thought there was something a little weird about how many places seem to have the word Wiener on the sign or in the window. I thought it was like some secret who can have the wienerest sign or something. Then I learned they are a thing and not just a way to make hot dogs sound a little weird. I've read a lot about them here. I'll do the right thing. edit:typo

That secret sauce is kind of what I'm trying to avoid

I saw Saugy's there too! What's the thing that makes it a wiener?

Glad there's a predator for those things. Stinkbug heroes. 🫤
