Its kinda like putting an EVOLUTION badge on a base-model Lancer. Or a Type-R badge on a base-model Integra.

I know I know. I had them laying around from an actual STI I had debadged and wondered what they'd look like on the car in a wishful thinking state of mind. Just haven't gotten around to taking them off.

But then again, the way the car is currently setup nobody questions that its not an STI

An african americn Woman yesterday at Target, "Deeeeeeeeeeyumn? Wus dat?"
Me, "It's a Scion-FR-S"
Her,"I was bout to say, looked like a blue mini ferrari!"
Me, "Nah, it's a Scion. But a Toyota in every other country."
Her, 'Busts up laughing out loud', "You silly"
Me, 'smile, and walk towards Target entrance'

I get interesting reactions in the Bay Area

If they ask if it's fast, I'll tell them it will do over 140mph, probably 150 with enough distance. If they ask how QUICK it is, tell them it's like a Civic Si or RSX Type-S.

Was filling up at at shell the other week some old man 60+ came out of nowhere and asked what line of Toyota is that? I said its a scion mixed with Subaru and Toyota he said very nice looking and he drives a Toyota Mr2 spider for trips and told me that car handles well .. Old man still got his driving going on..

If you see the look of disappointment in their eyes you realize this isn't the kind of person you want to have an argument with, if they start asking about handling you've met someone who gets it.

This is the funniest thing I have read in a LONG time!

I may live in Alabama but I'm from Seattle. However.... I DID marry a local, southern girl and I can't wait to go home and tell her this one!
