Video: Riding With the Oldies-Singing Williamsburg Subaru Driver

If you spend enough time in Williamsburg, sooner or later you'll be passed by a man driving a red Subaru, blasting oldies and singing along at the top of his voice. That's just how Anthony Delia, aka Subaru Dude, rolls. Filmmaker Russel Fong recently rode around with Delia for Free Williamsburg, and the guy is exactly as ebullient as we always hoped. Take a look at Hipsterville through his happy eyes:

Delia admits, "I couldn't carry a note if it had handles." But that's no reason to spit on him, as one local woman does, according to Delia. Another choice quote: "This one guy used to come up to me all the time. He used to tell me he loved the music, he wanted to ride with me, and I had to tell him, 'Cuz, this is a solo act; you can't ride with me.'"

But you can sing with Delia, even if you can't ride with him. Starting tomorrow night, he'll be hosting "CAR-AOKE" every Tuesday night at the new Williamsburg bar The Woods, on South Fourth.

You lost me at "If you spend enough time in Williamsburg."

No time is Williamsburg is "enough" time in Williamsburg.

That dude annoys the heck out of me.

me too. when i see him coming i turn the corner.

I assume he's one of about 5 non-lesbians to actually drive a Subaru?

I think the woman who spits on him and gives him the finger is onto something...

plenty dipshit. the guy is a fucking loser-who is a shitty singer. Fuck him and you for supporting his lack of creativity...

I wish he pulls up next to me so I can blast Metallica; by the way, how about holding on to the steering wheel while you are driving?!

i see this man almost everyday, he always puts a sardonic smile on my face

after hearing him pass my apt twenty times a day, every weekend, for the last four years... yeah, the act gets real old, real quick.

Don't let streetsblog get a hold of this, they will castrate him for driving around doing nothing all the time.

I also have a red Subaru Forester, though it's a 2006 (the one in the video looks like a 2003 to 2005).

nice use of foreign oil.

i love this guy. we need more people like him in this world.

holding it DOWN.
thanks for this, it is kinda rare that i like someone better the more i find out about them.
fuckin' delia.

I'm absolutely sure that you who put this guy down, that you who spit on him are douchebags. Give him respect.

You live in HIS neighborhood. Stop trying to put him down...You're only making this neighborhood worse.

Yah, sometimes this dude annoys me but I admire his tenacity. He's out here because he loves it regardless of what you think. He's a positive soul.

I'd trade a 100 fuckin' Delia's singing then that tall super angry stringy haired guy walking around yelling at people. You know what I'm saying.

By the way, why is it "his" hood; what is he the fuckin mayor of Williamburg?! Does he work, or drive around all day?? Hey, Henry if I ever see him I am gonna throw a water ballon at him & you can put that on video so we can all laugh:))))))))))))))))

this guy is awesome but he drives like an asshole! tell him to slow down.
