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.

I need to apologize to all of the mindless, jerkoff scumbags who made negative comments. I thought you were all idiots until I learned that an idiot has a mental capacity of 9-12 years of age. Less than nine is a moron. So all the while I tghought you low-lifes were idiots you were actually morons. Excuse me.

The singing Subaru driver is a breath of fresh air. You will dearly regret it if I'm around when you spit or throw a water balloon at him. Fort Apache Steve

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.
