Odd compliments you've received about your FR-S/BRZ

I've retired from riding (much anyway). Being a single father kind of puts a damper on it as a whole, realizing I'm risking not only my life, but my son's father.

My last bike, which I still miss desperately, never got completely finished, but I was working on her.



That one is still stock exhaust. The next one has the prototype exhaust that started out chrome, I had ceramic coated black, except a bit of a chrome "ring" at the end to contrast all the black.



She was big, but sneaky, sneaky fast, especially after I changed the gearing. Too low and wrong seating position to be a canyon carver by any means like some of the others, but this was more my "muscle car" type bike.

It wasn't my intention at all, I've got *plenty* of social anxiety, but riding that, stopping was like having my own paparazzi. It drew a crowd everywhere it went, and some of the guesses as to what it was were hilarious!

***Looking at these pictures after a long time makes me miss it worse. Plus, I didn't realize how many more customizations I made after, without taking proper pics. ***


All we know is.... He's called The Stig

Oh God she is beautiful. I understand where you are coming from. I cut my riding down so much after my son was born. Is that a V-Rod?

That was yours?????? Sweet! What was the prototype exhaust?

From a 65-70yr old woman at a stoplight:

That car looks... Youthful. Is it electric?

[Packofcrows]

new ones:

Cute, tedious, feisty, sassy and "nice honda, new prelode?" yes, Pre-load.

Upgraded the shifter a while back to a Raceng. Pulled up to a Coffee stand, barista looks over and says "I like your knob".

He was probably meaning that as a joke to spark a conversation or get you to talk about the car, little did he know that was such a sore subject.


Whenever I get something like that, or people asking me how fast it is, I blankly stare and tell them it is the slowest car I have ever owned.

[Ultramaroon]

It's all about setting expectations.

[FX86]

what's the retail on one of those?

[Boomerang]

I was at the fuel station filling up on E85.
Dude walks past on the way to pay and stares at me.
He had finished filling up his Land Rover Discovery.
On the way out he says;
(insert Aussie accents)
"G'day mate, is that the Subaru motor in that?"
Me;
"Yep mate, the boxer"
Him;
"I used to have a Forester, loved that boxer rumble"
"brappp brapp brappp etc"
Me;
"Yep they sound sweet don't they"
Him
"Nice ride mate"

Overall a good experience
