#21 of 31415 High Anxiety: Rio Red & Bird Poop by bg18947 Nov 27, 2000 (2:55 pm)
I have a 2000 Legacy GT Ltd in Rio Red and I feel like a victim in Mel Brook's movie parody. Are birds attracted to pooping on red cars, or what? I don't park the car under trees, lamp post, or bird hangouts, yet I appear to notice an unusual amount of bird poop each time I get home. I never noticed this before with any of the other cars in terms of poops per mile driven.

Oops I meant "curse". That's what I thought the typo above was, the Pilgrims Curse <grin>. Anyway it seems to me that it is not the color of the new car but the very fact that it is new that attracts those bombadiering birds; now that I've driven the brand-newness off my Titanium '00 GT, the poops/mile has gone way down. I'd happily back a taxpayer-funded study of that phenomenon. As for the H6 and its price, I may be way off base here but Subaru is a small firm as car companies go, and development and initial tooling costs for a motor are very high - to the point that some European manufacturers jointly develop new motors - so perhaps the initial price premium for the H6 is Subaru's way of recouping some of those costs. Also IIRC the production of the new H6 was supposed to be in pretty small numbers at first, so that makes it a scarce commodity. I agree that the cost should be lower, but I don't mind letting the early adopters help make it more affordable for cheapskates like me <g>. Cheers, -wdb

Some areas are natural routes for bird migration. Looks like a number of us who were questioning the value of the H6 before it was released, were right.

Join in, Bob, I'm "chatting" now. It's more like a bulletin board, completely HTML-based, so no firewall issues (yeah!). I don't have any intelligent questions to ask, so PLEASE join me! ..Mike

Oh well... I tried. No new news, and yes - weird. Bob

Hey Mike and Bob, I see you got posted, cool! (Bob got two!). I thought it would be good to let Warren know there are some enthusiasts out there. Who knows, maybe he'll ask to do more Subaru reviews. Thanks for joining. (My second question didn't pass muster.) ..Mike Smith
#29 of 31415 Yeah I got 2/3 by paisan Nov 27, 2000 (6:34 pm)
I got 2 out of 3 posted. I don't think he is very knowledgeable about automotive stuff. Just my opinion. -mike

Perhaps, though his target audience is the Washington Post reader, not Sport Compact Car, Evo, or Car. ..Mike
