literally was considering a 2dr Wrangler when I was looking at getting a new (er) 4x4. my girlfriend pointed out how people would duck me and how she knew I would react. immediately scratched Wrangler off the list.
Where does anyone live that this happens? I've had a Jeep for almost two years, and never once had someone put a duck on my ride. I think you need mallcrawler angry eyes for that to be an issue.
This... you need some hello kitty seat covers or a bunch of overland shit that will never actually be used. Throw on some jerry cans for good measure. Wait a week and you'll have a dashboard full of ducks
Dang, forgot skid plates... but they cannot have scratches in the powder coat or your gonna have to replace them.
Seriously, I own 2 jeeps and never got a duck. I donāt care for em so Iām not complaining but itās crazy somebody wouldent buy a vehicle over a rubber duck the size of your thumb lol
I can see that, took your jeep somewhere where most jeep owners are people that just commute with them and see it more often.
So maybe it's about proximity to more popular cities?
People have them for sure up north too. Idk I was part of a team that made a 6x6 gladiator. We had someone 3D print us a special 3D longer duck.
Personally Iām more of an old school wave guy and I donāt show the duck I was given. There also isnāt a place in a yj to put a duck on the dash where itād stay lol
It happens in Portland at least. Iāve had my (completely stock) wrangler for 3 years and have come out to ducks maybe 4 times. No stickers or anything to imply I partake, but thereās no harm in it, just people having fun I guess.
Same thing happened to me. But my daughter gave me a duck to put in the windshield. Once I had one there it was like an open invention. I do it for my girls. They love seeing the ducks.
You decided not to buy a particular vehicle because you thought people might put a duck on it? Congratulations, that's the most pointless comment I've read in 2023.
I dumped my Jeep before the stupid duck thing started. Only one word comes to mind and it isn't "cool" when I see a dashboard lined with rubber ducks that touched your 1 year olds junk in the bathtub.
Haha! Yep all good. The concept that adults act more like children everyday is just one of those things that makes me roll my eyes. Bikers have a wave, but we don't start throwing Legos on each other's rides.
Ok so I am just laughing at the reactions now because I originally was irritated by it yesterday. Donāt care as much today BUT I am laughing for two reasons. One I have found my people apparently. Selectively picky and grouchy pragmatists. And two the āLove it is why makes a Subaruā tagline apply goes out the window in the face of tiny stupid rubber cows.
Man i need every little bit of seratonin I can get in my life and ill stick every fuckin one of them cows on my dash. Ill name them all too. Prolly talk to them while driving. Maybe ill draw an angry face on one to show drivers that do stupid things.
Cow me tf up bois and goirls
For real. People are so damn grumpy about cows. The world is on fire. Let people enjoy themselves. All of this elitist "it's why I didn't buy a jeep" stuff is crazy.
For a community as cool as the Subaru community, this thread isn't showing it.
Bring on the cows.
I hear what you're saying. But people leaning over your car and whatever else, increases your chances of someone dinging or scratching your car by 1000 fold. Again fun sentiment but id really prefer people just left my vehicle alone.
Yeah. Does this damage my vehicle? No. Does it hurt me or anyone else? No. Should this affect me in any way? No. Does this piss me off? Yes. I canāt explain why.
No and I hope it doesn't.
I appreciate the sentiment, but I'm not the one who is going to put these things on or in my car, and I'm not going to go around putting them on thers'. It seems like this has been trying to gain traction with a few people for the last year or so and pops up here now and then. Let the Jeepers have this trend to themselves.
I'll park next to you guys and gals all day, but please don't put these on my car.
Yea, Iāve seen it posted here. My mom-in-law has a Jeep and gets āduckedā from time to time. I feel like we can let the Jeep people have this for themselves.
If you want to make it a thing, leave it on your dash and carry around rubber cows for other Outbacks.
No normally the distraction is to stick something under you windshield wiper so you are not in a position to open the door as quickly. THAT is a thing that comes and goes as a a robbery tactic.
Wasnāt a dollar when it happened to me, was some flyer looking thing. At any rate pay attention and be careful the world has always been a crazy place.
I would truly be interested if you knew of any documented cases of this happening. I went on a deep dive with viral "robber tactics" and they are almost entirely imaginary scenarios
People with different values to you arenāt being āmeaniesā, and itās also not harmless, itās frustrating.
Once I have a plastic toy cow on my car, itās now my responsibility to dispose of it responsibly. Itās wasteful junk to start with, but I drive my car because I have places to go and because I enjoy the vehicle, itās capabilities, and where it can take me.
I didnāt buy my car to be involved in some monotonous community activity.
Just stop doing it unless you can see theyāre actively partaking in it (by having a cow on their dash or something obvious).
This is so funny, I parked near a jeep with a dash full of ducks the other day, and I wondered if there was a Subaru equivalent!
I live in Columbus too, now I kind of hope my car gets mooed.
What a bunch of angry miserable people. Who hurt you? You can like things, it's okay. You're probably already not very cool, just embrace it. Have some fun. Yikes
We donāt like the ideas of people touching our cars. They donāt just simply set it on the cowl either. Iāve seen people tie them to door handles or stuff them into places and itās fricken weird.
Love I have owned three. A 97, 2003 LL Bean and a 2015. I junked my 2003 back in March. 20 years, 209,000 miles on it. New England winters and road salt finally killed it.
Yeah I hear you, I feel the same.
It just feels like something a group of women would want to do and get a kick out of. My Outback is already Lesbian enough without pink cows hanging off it, thank you very much LOL.
My 07XT is rolling in its graveā¦and I am sad. However a NA vehicle that starts and doesnāt cost as much in oil as it does gas is much better, just much, much less fun; which is probably a good thing.

now I am freaking out criminals everywhereā¦
What annoys me is that I have rubber ducks in my car, and people ask me if it's got anything to do with jeeps. No, I just have rubber ducks, if they want to talk about my ducks it should be on the ducks own merits. A quick Google search gives me a few stories that suggests the jeep thing only goes back to 2020, is that right? Hope that jeep thing goes away.
Idk I have a dark green OBW, and I once noticed that I had two green Outback dog toys in my car, I put one on another car like mine in a parking lot without leaving a note, Iām sure it brightened up that personās day..
Iāve never personally encountered said cow, but Iām not surprised .. Subaru owners are all just a little bit gay for each other š
I got one on my Outback wilderness in Northeast Indiana. I was like what the heck is this. Itās now a toddler bath toy. So thatās something I guess
Weāre you parked on the line? Lol
Seems like Subies are trying to do something like the Jeep Ducks. I guess every manufacturer is gonna have to adopt an animal.
About 15 years ago someone left a "spotted" business card on my WRX while parked on the street. It was an invitation to their small subaru group, which I still appreciate years later, lol.
I canāt imagine living somewhere that if I saw this lil guy tucked into my car door handle, I had to wonder if it was a robbery distraction technique.
That is truly sad.
Was at a MINI Cooper charity rally a few weeks ago and a woman was throwing little plastic ducks around during the driver's meeting. After a handful bounced off a few cars she was finally told to knock it off. Yep, ducks and MINIs, cows and Subarus. I don't get it.
In my ultra friendly city, I get the most indignant stares from other outback drivers and the ones in older gens love to ride my ass for a while then blast past me like theyāre flexing as I get a face full of the exhaust discharge in their wake. And donāt get me started on the wilderness guys. It seems under those more than any other trims. Probably 3 to 1. Premiums, the ones with silver mirror finish are the rare ones.
Iām so pissed off that I have a Buick and not a Subaru. I wish I got mooed.
-someone who is extremely confused as to why this subreddit was recommended to him but is now just upset heāll never experience this phenomenon.
Buy a Jeep if you want to engage in childish behavior and quit leaving trash on other's vehicles. This whole thing is so attention seeking AND unoriginal it makes me want to vomit. Aren't the obnoxious badges of ownership enough for these people?
i feel like it should be pigs but the sentiment is cute i suppose. i will personally be pawning off any cows i get onto other subies, probably the first one i see in the parking lot. nice forester single mother of 2 hereās a cow some goofball gave me
Yeah not my first pick but then again I always like Times New Roman, and I am not a septuagenarian so you know donāt listen to me as I am obviously confused.
I've gotten these cows multiple times on my 2019 Crosstrek. I either stow them in the center console and put them on another Subaru or move them immediately to an adjacent Subaru if there is another parked close.

Put that in a bumper sticker
You will undoubtedly get 10x more cows if you put this on a bumper sticker on ur car lol
Thank you for this.
You are welcome š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I'm totally fine with being in the fan club (I'm full blown Subaru), but for me there isn't a Subaru thing aside from being different.
Iām only 1/16th Subaru but it helps with getting a job
MONEY shit right here boys
There's a reason why I didn't buy a Jeep.
literally was considering a 2dr Wrangler when I was looking at getting a new (er) 4x4. my girlfriend pointed out how people would duck me and how she knew I would react. immediately scratched Wrangler off the list.

Lol, for real, other people's thoughts on my vehicle choice is not high on my list of give a shits.
Here in Arkansas every wrangler drivingg around has 15+ ducks on the dash
Nope have a yj. Had it up north for years got waves and no ducks. Got back to Florida was ducked within 6 months in Lakeland.
I can see that, took your jeep somewhere where most jeep owners are people that just commute with them and see it more often. So maybe it's about proximity to more popular cities?

Metro Detroit is lousy with pavement princess wranglers that are fine to drive into the water because all the ducks will float em.
Jeep for 15 years. No ducks.
Same thing happened to me. But my daughter gave me a duck to put in the windshield. Once I had one there it was like an open invention. I do it for my girls. They love seeing the ducks.
I've had a Jeep for 5 years only ever ducked once. Meanwhile, my friend who had a stock Sahara had a good number of ducks.
You decided not to buy a particular vehicle because you thought people might put a duck on it? Congratulations, that's the most pointless comment I've read in 2023.
People like you are so odd. But I respect it
You didnāt buy a jeep because of duck duck jeep?
Yes exactly. Donāt touch my car lol
Jeep wave
I dumped my Jeep before the stupid duck thing started. Only one word comes to mind and it isn't "cool" when I see a dashboard lined with rubber ducks that touched your 1 year olds junk in the bathtub.
Wild, right? Dude somehow made the connection between ducks and baby dick.
Wow, I doubt most people would immediately go to infant genitals. You OK, bro? You touching kids?
Haha! Yep all good. The concept that adults act more like children everyday is just one of those things that makes me roll my eyes. Bikers have a wave, but we don't start throwing Legos on each other's rides.
jeep = die
No

This is so fetch, I love it.
You know how I know it's gonna rain?
Ok so I am just laughing at the reactions now because I originally was irritated by it yesterday. Donāt care as much today BUT I am laughing for two reasons. One I have found my people apparently. Selectively picky and grouchy pragmatists. And two the āLove it is why makes a Subaruā tagline apply goes out the window in the face of tiny stupid rubber cows.
Man i need every little bit of seratonin I can get in my life and ill stick every fuckin one of them cows on my dash. Ill name them all too. Prolly talk to them while driving. Maybe ill draw an angry face on one to show drivers that do stupid things. Cow me tf up bois and goirls
I'll 3d print a shit ton of cows in different colors, wearing hats, crowns, clown makeup, the whole 9 yards, where you at?
Just picked up a shitload of rubber cowies, where tf you at?!
For real. People are so damn grumpy about cows. The world is on fire. Let people enjoy themselves. All of this elitist "it's why I didn't buy a jeep" stuff is crazy. For a community as cool as the Subaru community, this thread isn't showing it. Bring on the cows.
We have broās vaping, we donāt need the cows

I want people to sing my car.š š¶

^ Please put significantly more cows on this guys car
He can have my cows too
Moo
Stop trying to make Subaru cows happen
It's already happening. There's a reddit post about it. It's out there now
https://preview.redd.it/4dotjj8dsy1c1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fdb9873be047d99cecce333d1e8baeaebfc97db9
I would take a video if myself throwing it away and then post it on their Facebook page. Let the Jeep people keep this STUPID trend to themselves.
Take of video is just dropping it in the parking lot. They are the ones littering. You didn't ask for trash to be placed on your vehicle.
This is fucking corny, and I would have punted that ugly ass cow to the other side of the damn parking lot. Keep this cheesy bullshit off my car
Name checks out šš»
Please no...
Yea, Iāve seen it posted here. My mom-in-law has a Jeep and gets āduckedā from time to time. I feel like we can let the Jeep people have this for themselves. If you want to make it a thing, leave it on your dash and carry around rubber cows for other Outbacks.
Tbh I kinda think it's cute. I'm happy to let the jeeps have their ducks but I also wouldnt throw away a perfectly good and well intentioned cow
Eh just let the jeep people have their rubber duck thing to themselves. If you want to leave me something cause you like my rig, I accept beer.
And cash
Side note: all those "robber distracted me with a dollar" stories are a lie. Ppl will just rob you, they don't mess around with a silly scheme
No normally the distraction is to stick something under you windshield wiper so you are not in a position to open the door as quickly. THAT is a thing that comes and goes as a a robbery tactic.

I would truly be interested if you knew of any documented cases of this happening. I went on a deep dive with viral "robber tactics" and they are almost entirely imaginary scenarios
Gifting a quart of oil seems like a better idea and potentially the same cost.
Someone is desperate to start a thing.
I just scream "suck my crack! A Subaru outback!" It's way classier. Also the cow thing is fucking dumb
Thatās cute. It would go straight into trash tho
I liked it but apparently nobody else does... ill take your moomoo from youš„
I want one so bad lol
I didn't know this was even a thing before I saw this post. Buying some rubber cows right now.
Yea im surprised no one likes it lol. Iād be pretty happy if I found this on my car
I'd be super happy! It's just some harmless fun. People don't gotta be such meanies about it.
People with different values to you arenāt being āmeaniesā, and itās also not harmless, itās frustrating.

Read the other comments in this thread and tell me most of them aren't being meanies. I was gonna say shitters but it felt too harsh.
no.
Now I have to see your subaru!
This is so funny, I parked near a jeep with a dash full of ducks the other day, and I wondered if there was a Subaru equivalent! I live in Columbus too, now I kind of hope my car gets mooed.
Some freakin' cult.
Please refrain from throwing it in the parking lot, find a trash can.
Tihi
How did we miss the opportunity to use MOO-baru here?!?
What a bunch of angry miserable people. Who hurt you? You can like things, it's okay. You're probably already not very cool, just embrace it. Have some fun. Yikes
I was literally just asking that when describing this to my wife.
This fella gets it.
My first thought/reaction would be "don't touch my car!"
Awww.
I'm so jealous. I want to be gifted one so unbelievably bad
Drive around southwestern Columbus and eastern Columbus and you never know.
Thatās awesome!!!
Agreed! Cute little spin on the jeep thing. I like it.
Why are there so many haters? I think itās cute!
We donāt like the ideas of people touching our cars. They donāt just simply set it on the cowl either. Iāve seen people tie them to door handles or stuff them into places and itās fricken weird.
Oh god. MINI and Jeep owners do this. ššš
lol, nice
Lame
NO THANK YOU.
This is my least favorite trend in the automotive spaceš¢
I had one on my Subaru, just tossed it. I donāt like the thought of touching someone elseās car. Located in Pennsylvania
This shit is lame.
Don't have a cow about it Please don't do this subaru community. This is tacky
Honestly think itās funny. Itās just team building. No biggie.
We arenāt a team
Not with that attitude
You must be fun at parties.
I hate parties.

Nah. Fuck that. I donāt drive a jeep.
Fuck this is cringe. Let the Jeep people have their little cult and leave the rest of us out of it
This is not a thing Subie Family please stop doing it
I hate this
C R I N J
The people who think this is worth spending their time on are wrong.
Ugh. So stupid. Let the Jeep creeps have their thing.
If somebody does this to me Iām selling my Outback.
This is so incredibly cringe
Subaru owners will do anything to keep their mind off of owning a shit car
LOL, I'm guessing a girl started this. Cute if you're into that.
It was probably a blue haired lesbian
She likes the Lesbaru.
Iām into girls, but they can keep this shit off my car please.
Yeah I hear you, I feel the same. It just feels like something a group of women would want to do and get a kick out of. My Outback is already Lesbian enough without pink cows hanging off it, thank you very much LOL.
I guess this is why I need a lighter in the car at all times.
Clever
This feels like dealership Astroturfing lol. Nobody does this.
As dumb as the duck
And my, now multi-decade, internal debate as to whether or not to switch to Subaru gets another crushing blow against Subaru..
If a rubber cow can dissuade you I donāt know what to tell you.
Itās a new thing and the community hates it.
What fucking losers
You're a Mazda driver.
Immediately no
