You got the hitch, rack, and mud flaps. Looks good.

I don't hate it, but I already ordered the cow balls for the hitch and had the Texas longhorn bull's horn for the hood. But now they might look stupid with the blue instead of dark gray.

You're right, it'll definitely be the color that makes it look stupid...

I dunno, looking at this photo is making me think I should get a fishnet stocking wrap instead and keep the blue. This car buying is so complicated.

Paint it up like gyarados with some diamond fish scales.

It took me a minute to figure out that was a shadow and I thought "wow, a fishnet wrap? I don't hate it." 😂

I don’t think the color is the problem here

No clue why you are being downvoted. Are Subaru owners known for not having a sense of humor?

Why in the hell was everyone downvoting this comment!🤣

I went through Subaru directly, built it, then priced it with the dealership. Go with what you WANT man. Don’t ever settle. Love the color tho, looks clean. I hope you get a lot of fun out of it!

If you ordered a spec and they didn't give you the spec, why take it?

I didn't, it's just off a truck and just finished prep. Took 20 minutes wandering around the storage lot trying to find 'my' car to figure out only one car had a basket. 

You had a dealership put a basket on? You’re kidding, right?

Take care of it so it doesn’t end up as Warren Zevon’s My Shit’s Fucked Up.

Carmelita, hold me tighter I think I’m sinking down, and my Subaru is not as advertised and it’s got me feeling down.

Kinky Friedman does a cover of MSFU that really does the lyrics justice. Fuck cancer.

One of the greatest songs. I learned it on guitar. I will blast it on my next Crosstrek ride now...

What’s missing?

[deleted]
[deleted]

Lighted door sills, hatch handle, phone holder, bike rack, cargo box that I can think of. Oh, the salesman he's MIA. Thinking about making a milk carton have you seen me meme and tape it to his door.

u/Resqu23 avatar

Don’t take it, especially with the color being wrong. That would be a deal breaker for me.

Those are installed at the dealer not the factory. They can get it for ya.

Not the colour of the car.

That's not built to order. You can easily decline it.

You ordered a bike rack, cargo box, and a roof basket?

Cargo carrier for groceries and what in the trunk.

I got the wrong color, too. But it wasn’t intentional on the part of my salesman. I think he was genuinely trying to be nice. He was just back from medical leave and was trying hard to close a sale. Not sure if his job was in danger or something because he kept thanking me profusely afterwards. He proudly told me he found one on the back lot with the same specs as the test drive vehicle but fresh off the truck. Of course I said sure. I didn’t notice until I got it home that it was the wrong blue (agreed to buy geyser, got sapphire). But it was my fault, too, because I didn’t notice, caught up in the excitement of a new car.

In the end, I actually like the sapphire better I think, because it seems like 90% of wilderness editions are geyser.

Also I’m pretty sure my salesman was Gil from the Simpsons.

I agree with the blue. I would still act grumpy to get a better deal. I found a green at a different place and half the time to get ready. 

I love Gil.

Sapphire blue is gorgeous!

Not sure if OP is some kind of bizarre performance artist or what, but the car looks good to me!

I do kind of like the spoiler on it

Keep me in your heart for awhile!

I ordered during the pandemic well actually my sales guy said someone just canceled their order so if you want it? I got a magnetic gray. I would have not picked it but it’s nice. It had most things I wanted , it’s a limited. I only had to wait 2 months instead of 4-6. I wasn’t sure I wanted a Crosstrek but I’ve been very happy!! It’s really a great car! Unfortunately it goes too fast! Lol
