Aren't hipsters annoying?

First and foremost it's just a car. A method of transportation from point A to point B.

Let's be real here. It's a cheap car that rich family's can afford to give to their kids as birthday or graduation gifts. The receivers may not have even known the cars existed or care about them.

I personally bought one because well it was shinier than the used R3 on the dealers lot that day. Either choice would have made me happy. I love my BRZ but I never read one article about them until I bought mine.

IMO those of us who don't track the car are not appreciating it for what it was meant to be. It's a entry level auto cross car. Designed to be fun and balanced but not dangerous in the hands of inexperienced drivers. This is of course just my opinion.

I was ready to Rip Hipsters a new one until I read the Original Post. To the Thread Topic, Yes, I hate hipsters. Their bikes with weird stickers, jeans that are tight just below the knee, their running hats, bobo's, always wearing two shirts because the top one is ripped.

And those Hipsters that actually find a girl they go off and buy the smalled POS car out there... Either Prius, Cruze and etc.


Yes, some rich kids pull off the hipster look but I don't consider them hipsters as much as a faux hipster because they can - usually to piss ppl off like the OP-ster.

That's an appropriate rant on hipsters.

And this:

Too many people buy things they don’t need with money they don’t have to impress people they don’t know.

In essence that statement is the same thing I said...criticizing someone else for what I think is not a valid reason to buy. . Difference is I am getting bashed for it

More annoying is comments from the uneducated . Like" you know Toyota makes a car like that", or " doesn't that only have 200 hp" and " you know there going to Turbo charge that next year". Or the best one was from my redneck friend riding in my car. "Why did you buy this?" . Then have explain why i did not get a mustang/comaro/charger.
Basically it comes down to this. Every other car is a knife of some kind. The BRZ/FRS are scalpels. Not suitable for the use by everyone.

Especially from kids who ask: "Like, is that car fast?".
'You bet, kid, like faster than that tricycle you are riding'.
