jealous neighbors against young owners - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

FX86 · 06-02-2016, 01:14 AM

For the young owners or those that look young as in early to mid twenties...do any of your neighbors give you the envious eyes (dirty jealous looks)?

My neighbors probably thinking i'm rolling in a porsche or an exotic...

Well, I'm not young nor do I look young ...... but, I do get some looks (and comments) from my neighbors. 10 years ago, when I bought a new Miata, they just figured I was going through a late life crises. 3 years ago, when I bought my FR-S ....... they thought I'd really lost it.

Nope not in my neighborhood, but some of the local "owners" around my town are just complete entitled douche bags that clearly had mommy or daddy bought it for them.

But that's just my neck of the woods.

Yeah all the time man. All my neighbours ask if it's a McLaren. I can see why too, they're hard to tell apart.

Speed2th · 06-02-2016, 03:43 AM

No because Brz is a cheap sports car.

ZionsWrath · 06-02-2016, 03:45 AM

no, their camry's cost more than my BRZ so they probably just think im a young guy in a cheap car. More likely they don't even notice or care.

You mean they're not drooling over your rare prestigious piece of machinery?

People flip out over my BRZ, but the car is much sexier than its sticker price would suggest.

soulreapersteve · 06-02-2016, 07:29 AM

Neighbors are probably like "oooo shiny orange car!" but that's pretty much it. Saw a few taking pics when I first got it.

I did get hounded by a guy while out grocery shopping. Basically thought I was some spoiled kid with rich parents and kept stating "mommy and daddy must not care about money to buy you a car that expensive".

Summerwolf · 06-02-2016, 07:43 AM

No, not at all. It is a Subaru.

jasonojordan · 06-02-2016, 09:00 AM

I don't get snarky comments. Mostly just people interested in what it is and compliments on how it looks.

JazzleSAURUS · 06-02-2016, 10:00 AM

I get a lot of people asking how I'm such a successful young person, what I do to drive a Lotus, when this model of Corvette was released, and what it's 0-100 time is.

I just tell them I'm an astronaut.

My neighbors said "oh you better keep it locked or you won't have it long around here"
I made very sure to show them how loud it was right from the start so that they would say "Oh that's ok it won't bother us" so that now it is harder for them to complain.

I don't have the noise issue in my area. ID say about every other house has a restored classic in the garage that when ever they take it out they like to get on it on the way out of the neighborhood.
