🤯 Fun Fact Friday!

On October 4, 2020, 1,751 Subaru owners lined up in Costa Mesa, CA to break the Guinness World Record for the largest Subaru parade ever!

Instead of ticket sales, Subaru of America asked participants to donate to Feeding America, resulting in 241,800 meals from attendees alone. Subaru matched the donations, bringing the total to 500,000 meals donated to families in need!

Now that’s the kind of horsepower we love to see. 💙💪

🩹 76% fewer injury-related crashes
🚫 90% fewer fatal crashes

🚗 Here’s a treat for all the word nerds and auto enthusiasts: the word "car" finds its origins in the Latin carrus/carrum - meaning “wheeled vehicle” - with the first known use dating back to the 14th century!

Just like our vehicles evolved from wooden carts to high-tech machines, the language we use has adapted over time too.

⚡ Fun Fact Friday!

It happens to the best of us—you go to start your car, and… click, click, click. The battery is dead. Don’t panic! Here’s how to safely use jumper cables:

🚗 Step 1: Park cars nose to nose, turn both OFF, and pop the hoods.
🔋 Step 2: Attach cables in this order:
✔️ Red clamp to dead battery’s positive (+) terminal
✔️ Red clamp to good battery’s positive (+) terminal
✔️ Black clamp to good battery’s negative (–) terminal
✔️ Black clamp to unpainted metal on the dead car (NOT the battery!)
⚡ Step 3: Start the working car and let it run for a few minutes, then try starting the dead car.
💡 Step 4: If it starts, remove cables in reverse order and keep the car running!

Pro tip: A jumper pack eliminates the need for another vehicle. Stay prepared, and don’t get stranded!

Fun Fact Friday! 🎶

In 2011, iPhones were on the rise, Spotify was gaining traction... and yet, the Ford Crown Victoria was still offering a cassette player.

CD players and aux cords were the standard, but Ford knew some drivers just weren’t ready to let go of their mixtapes!

Would you trade Bluetooth streaming for a cassette deck in your car today? Vote below!
📼 = YES, bring back the tapes!
📱 = NO, keep it digital!

GROSS Fact Friday! A study by Aston University (UK) found that many cars are harboring more germs than the average toilet!🚽

Every vehicle tested had traces of f***l bacteria like E. coli, with the trunk recording the highest count at 1,425. 🤮
· Driver’s Seat: 649 bacteria
· Gearstick: 407 bacteria
· Back Seat: 323 bacteria
· Dashboard: 317 bacteria

Even more surprising? The steering wheel came out as the cleanest spot (146) - likely thanks to increased hand sanitizer use since COVID-19.

Protect your ride and your health - make regular cleaning a key part of your car care routine!

Imagine this: You’re in a massive parking lot, your car is nowhere in sight, and your key fob won’t reach. Instead of walking around in circles, use your head—literally! 🧠🔑

Here’s the science:
✔️ Your body is mostly water, and water interacts with electromagnetic waves.
✔️ Holding the fob against your head turns your skull into a dielectric resonator (fancy term for a signal booster).
✔️ The signal’s amplitude increases, letting it reach your car from farther away.
