I have two stories from the summer:
1) Was at the post office, picking up some pop clips I ordered onlie to fix my stupidity destroying some of the ones in the fender liner and just didn't like the hole that's left there. Older lady 50+ comes to tell me my car is beautiful and she likes the color. Also 5 minutes later a cop pulls up behind my car and just stares at it for some time, possibly running the plates and says nice car 2) At a gas station annoying fat guy who seems like a bum that I always see with his twin brother harassing cashiers at a nearby store literally starts asking so many stupid ass questions like how much are the payments, where do I work and live, how fast have I been in it etc. then he puts his hands on the windows to look inside and leaves a massive hand print and his twin brother is on the other side doing the same crap while I'm filling gas. I don't answer his questions and give a nervous laugh, go inside to "get my receipt" but really just go in to get beef jerky and set the panic alarm off and they leave. The parking lot attendant apologized, apparently they always fight with each other in the gas station and pay with food stamps for everything and it always declines there cards, I felt kind of bad after that.

I used to work late at night like into way early morning like getting off at 1 am and seeing street "ricers" in civics and eg hatchbacks and such running down the main street. Then I would see a few minutes later a squad car speeding down the same road without there lights on trying to catch up to them. In this area Bucks County PA and Philadelphia PA the police seem to group it in the same category and run every sports cars plates for some reason, my friend has another FR-S and another with an e36 M3 all get the same treatment and one was followed for several minutes then the officer broke away to do something else, I think our cars just draw police attention regardless of situation.

Exactly. We probably all look like drug dealers to them.

I played along at first before busting the guy's chops by telling him that it was a Scion and that the car was mine (In fairness to him, I think he only caught the car when I was turning into the lot in the morning and then again from his office window - there has in the past been a Maserati in the lot too so he could have just been confused... Either way we both got a good laugh afterwards!) |

I had someone mistake mine for a corvette once. It was from a distance. They were walking and talkin to themselves and said "oh man look at the corvette" I was fairly confused as there were no corvettes that were visible from where they or I was at. Then I see my car and chuckle and just walk. Even from a distance it looks nothing like a corvette

However, the FRS special editions like the 10 series are as well equipped as the BRZ limited, and perhaps more so. But they're also priced higher. I test drove a 10 Series before I bought my BRZ. Actually, I drove it one block and promptly brought it back to the dealer lot. You see, it has extra noise piped into the passenger compartment. Always.. |

Got a peace sign from the driver of a new Camaro at a stop light the other day. I replied "nice car!" and got a "yours too!" in response.
Nice to exchange some props with the domestic enthusiasts.

Push Start Keyless entry (i.e. keep key fob in pocket and reach at door handle) Standard Navigation (keyword is standard, 2015 has it on an option now I believe but I didn't get it) HID or DRL LED headlights that exist on the GT86 Headlamp washers Heated mirrors aren't an option in the U.S. Automatic dual zone climate control The list is probably longer, but all that stuff only comes on the monogram, series 10, or Release series 1.0 I believe and probably any future "limited" FR-S editions which will probably continue the lineage of adding some TRD parts that aren't offered in North America standard as well as the aforementioned features that aren't offered as well
