I’ve been a member of the North American Subaru Impreza Owners Club for a long time now. It all started back in March of 2000 when I was looking at buying a 2000 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS. It was a damn cool little car that I was in love with. What happened to it is another story…

At the time I was looking for more information about the car, and came across an online forum www.nasioc.com. I joined and found a great online community of auto (Subaru specific) enthusiasts. This was all before the WRX (turbo version of the Impreza) was introduced in the US. So once the WRX came out…the membership of the site grew and grew.

I am member number 1165 (joined mid ‘00)…now there are over 120,000 members and it grows daily.

Of course the vast majority of the site is dedicated to the Subaru line-up and the various things that can be done with it…but there is another, more sepecial section of the site…

Off Topic

Technically “OT” is reserved for “Non-technical related discussions”…but it has become a holding pen, a discussion forum, an area for the most amazing conversations I have seen anywhere. It is, for all practical purposes, a life in it’s own…a living, breathing, creative and somewhat terrifying creation of the minds of some very complicated people.

For example…here are some of the things you can find there…

I highly suggest checking it out. I warn you though…although the material found inside will 90% of the time be safe for viewing at work…you may run into assholes, elitests, idiots and general insanity. You have been warned.
