"Nice car! Do you drift that thing??"
"No, I haven't gotten around to that."
"Oh man, that's what it's made for!"

I love my car.

Over the weekend 4 people gave thumbs up and got few questions plus lots of turning head in the traffic.
My girlfriend is still skeptical about why FR-S/BRZ gets so much attention. haha

some good looking ladies stare at my car too... ooolala

I've gotten smiles, a thumbs up, and a couple callouts from the sidewallk/bus stop.

Most unique experience was at a red light, my windows were down and I just hear a "Hey! up here!" I lean over and look up through the passenger window at the truck driver, who proceeds to ask me the stock questions about the car, and tells me he loves the color. Pretty fun experience.

Lots of head turns/looks/comments.

Best was a guy on a motorcycle (BMW RT1150) w/ a modular helmet yelling at me in a 40mph 2 lane road. "NICE CAR MAN"

I'm actually pretty surprised: I've had a few people stop and compliment the car or yell compliments from across intersections, etc; I never know if it's because people know what it is and think the twins are cool, or if it's because they don't know what it is and think it's something more exotic than it is :P

And here begins the unraveling of what otherwise was a decently feel-good thread.

Oh well.

Had a cop tail me for about 5 miles then he pulled up next to me at stop light and actually said "Sweet ride bro". Then he put his lights on and hauled a$$ through the red light!!

For me, best one of was an elderly couple (had to be at least 70) in an SUV pulled up next to me at a stop light after pacing me for a while and they asked "excuse me sir, what kind of car is that?" (I plastidiped black the scion badges and took off the "FRS" emblem) When I told them it was a scion they were perplexed like they just couldn't compute that bc were expecting it to be some exotic brand lol and then said "looks very nice!"

Pretty comical
..freaking awesome, that quotable man.

the guy/gal with the Maserati is wondering about what if s/he had invested the delta in some promising penny stock. That's what I would do.

I was on a 270 degree onramp and half way through the ramp am already at the speed limit but I didnt notice a pacer police officer on my blind spot as I was merging in, so the guy actually speeds up to 140 lkm/h lol.. I was legit.
