FRS reactions !!! Priceless
I picked up my car two days ago, and man I have nothing but positive reactions from it. On Thursday I went down to Ontario, CA to hang out with friends and I saw this nice 2012 green camaro in which while I was driving right past him he couldn't keep his eyes of my car.
That same evening my friends and I headed out to Life Plaza in Puente Hills in which we went to eat at a japanese restaurant where we had a great view of my car and see people walk by it with their reactions in which there was at least ten different people who would walk by the car and check it out at different angles. On the way home the car that I used to want a 2013 Ford Mustang GT was tailgating me for a good amount of miles. Yesterday I went to pick up one my friends in Orange county who hasn't seen my car yet in which she was blown away by it, and has already decided to look into getting an Automatic version of my car. We headed out to Pink's hotdogs in Hollywood and on the way there alot of people driving with Civics would ride close and then speed off. When I arrived at Pink's Hotdog's, I got a good parking spot in front of the valet in which while my friends and I were standing in line to order people kept stopping and looking at the car. Right before we left there was a man who seemed European who wondered what the car was, and thought it was a Maserati. My favorite highlight of last night was when on my way home in LA traffic at 12:30 at night there was a Subaru impreza wrx sedan that rode close to my car sped up, opened his window to give me the thumbs up for my car. Having this experience being a First 86er has been amazing. Today I have to pick up my mom from LAX, but if anything interesting happens I'll follow you up. |

I get mobbed from time to time, almost cause accidents on the freeway, etc.
The other night at a bar someone saw my car in the parking lot and demanded to know who the owner was, he couldnt believe someone in phoenix had one already. Lots of positive response from the SCCA guys, I brought the car out to a couple events in the phx metro area and people have sooooo many questions. Its generally a good time. |

That's cool. When I first read your post, I was just picturing in my mind someone who was drunk, and acting a fool.

I've had a few double takes, and one kid ask me at a light if it was an FRS.

People hear either have no idea what it is and dont look twice, or they know exactly what it is and nearly run into you when they stare.
I had one guy scream nice as he passed me. A guy in an S2k tried getting me to race two days ago. And another guy in an M-coupe stared obsessively while we were driving through traffic. Its a bit odd to have so many people staring, Im not used to it.

up here in NOVA people have been pretty much breaking their necks trying to see it, or see what it is. Since mine was the first in the area Ptuning got in contact with me and are going to be getting some parts made pretty soon. I went to a local car meet yesterday and got swarmed by on lookers. I let anyone who asked to sit in it in. And even though their were G-TRs and many other nice looking cars, it's nothing like seeing in-person the only car in such a large radius.
