<< Subaru spelled backwards = U-R-A-Bus! >>

I found this out in the late 80s. I was at Ron Price VW/Subaru/Mazda (dealership) in South San Francisco. While waiting for them to bring my Jetta out, I spotted a little old lady pulling up in her Subaru wagon with the plate URABUS.

Being the VW-centered guy that I am, I approached her to complement her on the plates and to find out what happened to her bus. She gace me a puzzled look adn told me that she had never owned a VW in her life. But thanked me for being so clever as to figure out that her plate spelled Subaru backswards. Of course, that was not what I said at all. What I said was... nevermind. That's another story.
