About this episode

Jeff, known as Slow Subis, shares his journey with Subaru vehicles, starting with a 2001 Forester and now driving a 2020 Impreza. He discusses his passion for the Subaru community, which keeps him engaged more than the cars themselves. Jeff also talks about his Slow Subis business creating 3D-printed Subaru-themed badges, the challenges of balancing it with his full-time job, and his love for road trips and car meets like 48 Hours of Tri-State and Boxerfest. Additionally, he opens up about his career as a police lieutenant at the U.S. Mint and reflects on hobbies, aging, and the importance of community.
