People's Reaction to Your New FR-S

[Simply_the_best]

Some guy rolled up to me at a light and asked if I had a real Toyota. He was unsure what i had because i have Toyota emblems and am de-badged.

Another instance where someone rolled up to me at a light and goes "is that the new model?" i was said "yeah" he responded with "that thing is tight!". He then goes "is it fast?". Told him "i wish it was" laughed and drove off. But girls love this thing i must say

This car is a head turner for women... many looks

All of this happened yesterday.

One guy asked about it in a parking lot.

One guy asked me while at a stop light.

When I got back to my car (which was in a parking lot), there were two people at the end of the lot in their car looking in my direction. They pulled out behind as I left. I'm pretty sure they were checking it.

I went out to grab a quick lunch last week at the Waffle House near work. As I was leaving, a man in his early 20's was standing near my 86 with what turned out to be his Grandmother, a frail little whiff of a lady walking with a cane that was most likely in her mid to late 80's (should have asked if she was 86, but you don't ask a lady's age, particularly when she is carrying a cane). I assumed she was tolerating her grandson while he checked out my car. As I walked up this was the conversation. We'll call her Ethyl....

Ethyl: That sure is a nice little red car you have there young man. (I like her already)

Me: Thank you Ma'am.

Grandson: We should go now Grandma.

Ethyl: Yes sir, your little car brings back a lot of memories for me.

Me: How so?

Ethyl: Well, let me tell you...

We then spent the next 15 minutes or so with her telling me about her husband, and how when they met in the early 60's he was a "handsome young fella" driving a '57 Torch Red Thunderbird. They dated in that car and drove it away at their wedding. She even had a black and white picture of the two of them with the car she was kind enough to share.

She shared they owned several "little red cars" over the years besides the Thunderbird, including a mid-60's Corvette, a Mustang, a 240Z and a few others she couldn't remember what they were.

As she talked about it, you could see her straighten up, remembering her more youthful days, and the love of her life (her husband and his little red cars).

As we parted ways, and her grandson helped her up the steps, she looked back one more time at my car, the way you always hope a young lady looks back when you know she's "the one" and smiled and waved goodbye. Perhaps the twinkle in her eye meant she had seen your dear, departed husband reflected in the windshield.

If no one ever compliments my 86 again, I'll be OK with that, because it will never get any better than that moment.

Hah, no. Her Grandson was there for heaven's sake.... besides I'm pretty sure she was waving at the car and the memory, not me.

Met up with a friend for lunch yesterday to drop off a PC he bought. He brought along three people he met at an english as a second language school here in Toronto as he helps out with the school, all of them from Japan.

After lunch, drove the BRZ over to his car to drop off the PC and the three from Japan were pretty excited seeing the BRZ. We stood around in the middle of the parking lot for about ten minutes as they looked over the car. Never really expected that kind of reaction from them especially the one girl who was kinda quiet throughout dinner, she became a bit more talktative.... knew quite a bit about the car it seemed, it's history going back to the AE86 and how the development of the GT86/BRZ. Her dad being an automotive mechanic may have had something to do with that.

Took mine to a toyota dealer that doesn't sell scion and I am one of only a few in my area. They were all pretty excited to finally see one and get to work on it.

Sent from my Q10

Took mine to a strip club 3 MONTHS after I got it (I was going for the tastefully aged approach). Believe it or not... I got boned down by 10 hookers in roughly 7 minutes flat. amiright amiright :0

I'm not sure if I would be proud of that.

[forzajuve]

Bro, are you hooker-phobic? I am kidding though. I wanted to post something extreme and ridiculous

[boredom.is.me]

Dat edit. I was just about to ask if you were serious, but instead, I went to wash my bowl out because I want Frosted Flakes.

So far most of the compliments go to my boyfriend about how much they like his car..
Sorry boys, she's mine
