My wife just sold one hers so maybe that is it. Told she could only keep three as they take up to much driveway space and I had no place to blow the snow.

That's exactly what I was thinking! I then went through the models with him and he was still like "uhh... "

I was cracking up on the inside.

A older gentleman with a genesis walked up to me as I was heading into the gym. I had just finished installing my catback the night prior and was bliping the throttle when I pulled in giggling to my self like a idiot.

He was a pretty nice guy. He asked me what it was, after only seeing the Toyota badge on the back. I was slightly triggered when he called the car "cute". Until I realized he used that word to describe everything including his 65 mustang.

Kids These Days..

Pulled in to a parking space at our neighborhood park/playground with my 3-year old daughter—who loves riding in “Dee Dee”. A little boy riding a razor scooter stopped and said, “Dang, that’s a nice car!”
This is by far the most enthusiastic accolade I’ve ever received, not just in my car, and it made me smile. I thanked him and later, when he said it would be cool if I had a Mustang too, I agreed without irony. Nice kid.

Reminds of a guy at work telling everyone he bought a NSX. We were all eager to check out his car so everyone went out to the parking lot... and it turned out to be a MX-6!!! This was back in the mid 90's.

I'm pretty sure you drive a supra, too dude.

Stop lying to yourself. The truth will set you free.

Maintenance guy at my job walked in and asked who's car it was parked out front.
Told him it was mine.
He was like "o wow is that the new wrx. What type of body kit is that?"
I told him no its a BRZ.
He's like. "Those things are boxer engines right. Twin turbo awd!"
Told him yeah it's a boxer engine but natural aspirated, rear wheel drive.
Then he kept going in about how it's a real "slick ride"

Not many of these around here. Everybody so far seems to love it!

Your answer should be:
New Supra, you mean the BMW Z4 badged as a Toyota, nah, this is the Subaru badged as a Scion and then Toyota. confusing enough for you?
