You're constantly correcting people when they assume "AWD" and "turbo" after seeing/hearing "Subaru." I guess you tend to forget not everyone follows the car as obsessively as you (and ::ahem:: many others) do...

you know you own a brz when your car has a mustache that matches yours

Getagrip · 05-21-2012, 03:05 AM

You know you own a BRZ when it finally arrives.

to be honest with you, most of the time I mention "I'm getting that new Subaru" people ask about the new WRX and I tell them it's the BRZ.

You know you own a BRZ when:

You know more about SUV tires than you ever have before..
You need to change two lanes over to get to an exit ramp and you ponder pulling a FnF with the semi trailer beside you.
Someone wants to race you and you shake your head no; then procede to yell "Too slow!" as you hound their rear bumper up the off ramp.
A hot chick walks up and asks if it's a Ferrari and you say YES. (owning a BRZ doesn't make you stupid! )

GMU-BRZ · 05-21-2012, 10:19 AM

when... you don't have a car yet, with no word on when you might get the car, after months of waiting, while people on the other side of the country are starting to get their cars.

akrazor · 05-21-2012, 12:41 PM

When you know more about:
-How long it takes to produce the car
-The Type of ship and time it takes to transport the car acrossed the ocean.
-You can Call the dealer and tell them more about your order and the car then the salesman or the GM.
