Had an older couple compliment my car at a red light and they asked “who makes it?” I responded “Toyota”, again they asked who makes it. This time I said “...Japan?” Once again, “No but WHO makes it??”. I was so confused the light turned green and they just waved and we drove off.

Subaru..?

Lakitu · 01-16-2018, 10:57 AM

Had a lady in a Nissan Altima ask me who made the car at a red light. People seem to think this car is some kind of fancy expensive car lol. When I tell them its a Toyota. Cheaper than an Audi or Lexus, but I guess its maybe twins are a bit more rare on the street than those two.

Had two guys ask me at a gas station, "Yo, is that car fast??", which I replied "No, not really. But its a fun car in other ways!"

"Is that your car? It looks like a Scion."

lulz.

drive through bank teller and it went like this:

her: oh I like that car. what is it.
me: BRZ blah
her: oh you have to take me for a ride some time.
me: I don't think my GF would like that.
her: I won't tell.
me: oh mai......

I was walking to back to my car after leaving a restaurant a hobo is casually walking by and says "nice car man! what car is that?" and i say " its a Subaru BRZ" and he says "Oh its a Subaru!? yea those are fast huh".

Another time i was parked outside the grocery a man comes from behind checks out the car and walks to the front and gives me a thumbs up and walks away.

who knows if they want to get into my car, pants or both. the only thing I'm sureof when it comes to females is rationality and accountability don't apply to them.

Was at a starbucks one morning and a cop asked me if the car was fast because he sees it a lot. Then asked if they were good for drifting lol.

weederr33 · 03-16-2019, 10:17 PM

Had 3 occasions where people complimented my Series Yellow BRZ. On my way home from work someone yelled across the street, "nice car!". Then tonight while at the grocery store, I had a fellow 86 owner stop me to ask about my car. He's an older gentleman and wanted something nimble and small. We chatted for a while. Then at the same store, when I was leaving the security guy was all like, "Is that a Subaru?!" I feelz cool

Clutch Dog · 03-17-2019, 03:13 PM

I had installed the BRZ TS enkei's on my car with some decent rubber (225/40s)
and while at the beach on NASNI, I had a guy in his jeep and family looking at the car and as i walked up he asked it looked cool and what it was. I told him it was the FRS/BRZ chassis, and hes like "oh man that looks so good, what does it have a turbo? v6?)

Sorry bud. NA 2.0 flat 4 and 200 hp maybe

to his credit. it was parked away from him and I have the 17+ Vland tails, and the black rims on a white car. so.. maybe it looked better than it is.

On Saturday, I stopped at a Wawa to grab something real quick. I come out and this guy in an older ram 1500 walks over (belly poking out of his t-shirt) telling me "Nice car! my wife just bought a McLaren but I don't know which one...How much did this cost you?". I proceeded to tell him $21k and he was in awe. He kept trying to figure out if it car was a 1 of 1 super car or not. kept telling him it's a Toyota/Subaru. Told him I had to dash.

Later that day, I was just taking something out of my trunk and a man with his family stopped and stared. He said "That's a nice ass car". Gotta love owning an 86
