i dont understand your point or why you are trying to make it.

Not me, but here's a thread from the SoCal section where an FR-S owner seemed to nearly have had his wheels stolen by another FR-S owner:

I once had an old man in a red FRS across the street from me, i furiously waved at the man and he did not acknowledge my existence. He's probably mad a 20 year old is driving pretty much the same car as him. #whata****

I came out of a convenience store to find a bright yellow FRS parked next to my BRZ (and no, it was not the Release Series). I was going to leave but I decided to wait and say hello since it is one of the very few in my town. As I was waiting, I took notice of the knock off BBS wheels, knock off lip kit and a horrible plasti-dip job and it was also lowered with a catback exhaust. As the guy came out of the convenience store, I was standing there and said "I figured I'd say hello since you are one of the only other 86's in the area". The guy barely acknowledged my existence and got in his car as I was asking him what catback he had. I left there thinking WTF is up with that dude and now I know not to wave to that punk if I ever see him around.
On the other hand, there is a girl with a red FRS in my town that always waves so I guess it all balances out. Also, after owning the car about one week I was fueling up and a teenager comes out of the store and his jaw drops and he comes over and tells me that I am driving his dream car which is nice to hear.
I have far more good stories involving my car than I have negative ones. The bad experience was just a drop in the bucket and a lesson to avoid that person from now on because 1. He is not worth my time and 2. The poor quality of his mods bring the image of my car down haha

Now see, that's where you're wrong. The poor quality of his mods brings only the image of his own car down, not yours. Everyone will laugh at him and him only.

Haha good point. His was parked next to mine which is a Limited BRZ (sans spoiler) in crystal black silica pearl and having go fast mods with little visible besides the exhaust tips, tint and LED lighting. I think that maybe he should Stop Frontin' and get Outta Here because he is only going to attract the Sound of da Police with those mods.

Haha, I'm sorry but as a fan of KRS-One for about 20 years I couldn't help myself. I once saw him in a small venue in Pittsburgh about 16 years ago and it was easily one of the best concerts I have ever seen. He is very talented.

I should say that I haven't heard of a KRS One and thus I had to Wikipedia him, so our names being similar are merely coincidence.

2 weeks ago, a frs pulled out of a gas station to make a left turn while I was cruising down the street towards him. The driver almost turns into me because he apparently can't judge distance. I gave him a dirty stare while he stopped in the middle of the road blocking traffic on the other direction when I looked at the side mirror. not a bad encounter but smh at his dumb driving...

My username is actually derived from my first name (Kris) + the name FR-S.

I'm not a fan of hip-hop, honestly.

Hi KRS would you mind posting some pics of your 2016? Is the exterior/interior same as the 2013?
