You know you drive an FR-S when someone follows you home to talk to you about it...then invited you to a barbecue. True story

Never once backed into a spot before this car. Almost every time now, if not just to make sure the front end doesn't scrape

When people driving towards you look at you funny and flash their lights at you because you were unknowingly flashing your DRLs at them playing with your e-brake.

when you hate the mustang because its not about power but you dont buy a miata because its too slow

I prefer the front like that other guy. The back looks better on black and asphalt and raven. But def not on red, orange, or white

Yo until u mentioned this i never even noticed...i always back in to spot because i love the way the front looks! When i get my five axis body kit(or any good-looking body kit) and tint my taillights red i just gonna want to park this Sh!t sideways so i can see everything lol

zoran · 07-25-2012, 11:09 PM

See I like the way the white looks from the back

Raven86 · 07-26-2012, 06:19 AM

when everyday on your commute to/home from work you end up with an evo, wrx, s2k, miata, mustang, or gen coupe following your every move on the highway. i've only had the car a week, its pretty funny how so many cars try to bait u into racing them

You know you drive an FR-S/BRZ when 5 people gather around your car and talk to you about it while ou trying to get gas.

........ or when random people off the streets follow you around.

I actually tack on 30-50 km/h based on the conditions. Usually those signs are designed to be taken seriously when there's a nice layer of snow on the ground.

My dealer was an elementary school buddy, and he had my paperwork ready before I even got to the dealership. :P

Yea, it's all about adjusting your mirrors properly. My parents can't seem to understand this!

QFT! I have a few friends that are probably more excited for me to get it than I am! Granted, I've already driven other ones quite a bit :P

Yeah before I got my car, I had a bunch of friends that were bugging me daily about whether I got my car or not. Sad to say, but I feel like i'm back in high school, although, the FR-S has renewed my love for cars and I don't care what anyone thinks...EXCEPT WHEN THEY CALL IT A SCION. lol

Style · 07-26-2012, 09:45 AM

you are making a right turn and just want to step on the gas to hear the tires cry.

when people pretty much break their necks on the freeway (highway) staring at the car trying to figure out what it is.

I actually never parked my eclipse in or the wife's mini or the BMW loaner in reverse. First day I got my FR-S it went in reverse at work and at home and that's the only way I park her.

When you check your phone and the weather app says it's 86 degrees outside and that amuses you.
