Why Are Subaru Drivers Leaving Cows on Each Other’s Cars?
If you’ve spotted a tiny rubber cow perched on a Subaru in the wild, you’re not alone—and no, your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you. This adorable trend has quietly moo-ved through the Subaru community over the past few years, with thousands of owners participating. The idea is simple: leave a cow, make someone’s day. The movement—playfully known online as “Moo Moo Subaru”—took root on social media and quickly became a symbol of connection and kindness among the brand’s fans.
Okay, But Why Cows Specifically?
No one knows how it all began, but there are some fun theories. One popular guess is that “moo” pairs naturally with “Subaru” in a catchy, rhyming way. Another theory dips into Subaru’s Japanese roots: the brand’s six-star logo reflects the Pleiades star cluster, also tied in folklore to a cow goddess. However it started, it’s clear the cow craze resonates with Subaru drivers—and adds a whimsical layer to an already tight-knit owner community.
A Cute Gesture with a Bigger Impact
What began as a playful surprise has grown into something more meaningful. Some retailers of these little rubber cows now donate part of their sales to local charities, adding a philanthropic twist to the fun. That means every cow gifted isn’t just a moment of joy—it’s also a way to help others, and another nod to Subaru’s larger Share the Love® mission.
