Imagine walking back to your Subaru and finding a cute little cow figurine on your windshield - you've just been "moo'd"! This delightful trend, known as Moo Moo Subaru, is taking the automotive world by storm, creating a unique way for Subaru enthusiasts to connect and spread joy
The Origins of the Moo-vement
The Moo Moo Subaru trend was born from a playful conversation between a Subaru Crosstrek owner, Staci Huckins, and her Jeep-driving friend. Inspired by the "Duck Duck Jeep" phenomenon, Huckins wanted to create a similar tradition for Subaru owners. The bovine theme isn't just random - it has a fascinating connection to Subaru's history. The Subaru logo features six stars representing the Pleiades constellation, which is part of Taurus (the bull), making a cow a perfect mascot.
How to Participate in Moo Moo Subaru
The rules are simple and fun:
- Spot a fellow Subaru in a parking lot, at a trailhead, or anywhere else
- Leave a small cow figurine (plastic or rubber works best)
- Include a note that says something like "You've Been Moo'd!" or "Mooove Over, Duck Duck Jeep!"
- Often, the note includes a QR code linking to local Moo Moo Subaru Facebook groups
More Than Just a Trend
Moo Moo Subaru is more than just a playful game - it's a way to build community. Subaru owners are known for their strong connection to their vehicles and to each other. This trend allows them to:
- Express admiration for fellow Subaru owners
- Create spontaneous moments of joy
- Connect with other enthusiasts
- Celebrate the unique Subaru culture
Growing Popularity
The movement is quickly gaining traction. The Moo Moo Subaru Facebook group has already attracted over 60,000 followers since its founding in 2023. Some Subaru dealerships are even getting involved, selling cow figurines and supporting local charities through the movement.
So next time you see a Subaru, keep an eye out - you might just get moo'd!
