I did a search on this, but couldn't find anything related, so I must just be a bit stupid, but bear with me!
I beleive you don't get any number '13's when Subaru run limited editions. I realise the whole 'unlucky 13' thing, but does anyone know why Subaru chose not to sell any, when other manufacturers do?
Also, does the 13th car sit in a shed somewhere or do they make a 13th car and just badge it as number 14?

You won't find developers giving a house the number 13 either! It limits the market!
I had a limited edition model Impreza once, number 13, I sliced my fingers off with the scalpel, the paint melted the plastic, when I turned the steering wheel the wheels fell off and to top it all the cardboard box it came in self combusted!!

It's the same as new houses. None r given number 13 cos no ****** dare buy em'. Makes it a lot harder to sell/re-sell if u do.
