You know you own an FR-S if...
 

Searched for this and could not find it so I will start it!


You know you own an FR-S if..

You use the parking brake handle as an armrest :thumbup:

You want to go sideway at each curves :p

You know you own an frs/brz if you can see the fenders when sitting down.

:thumbsup:

if someone approaches you asking if thats a 'body kit for the 370z' or

when a riced out civic or old beat up mustang wants to race you because they heard your car was slow (haha good times)

You know you own an FR-S when a girl in a TC leans out her window almost falling to take a pic.

LOVE THESE hahahaha

Sorry! I swear I searched hahahaha :mad0260:

When you have to be a gymnast to get out of the car.

You didn't search


-AKA

Pretty confident I did. Just close the thread down. Sorry if I pushed a button with you :iono:

Never apologize to people with sticks up their asses.

i second this

no wories, this forum isn't filled with assholes.. :happy0180:

I started that thread lol :) in before the lock!

If you have this conversation.

"Nice car man"
Thanks!
"v6?"
Nope its got a boxer motor in it like a Porsche
"I wish I had a Porsche at your age"
Yeah I love it..Wait what?

Lol great one! Wait what?

... when someone asks you if the car is fast, and your mind begins to find a way to steer the conversation to let them know the car is about the handling and feeling, and then you answer no, its not fast.

LIAR!!!

Every member here has one :bellyroll:

You know you own an FR-S when you always wave when you see other FR-S or BRZ drivers.

I usually answer "it isn't slow" or "it's fast enough" and then follow up with "the car is more about the fun in the twisties". I think everyone here knows that these cars are not stoplight warriors (unless you are running some sort of FI). I can never bring myself to answer "no" because I feel like I am saying it is "slow".

The other route is to merely state the car's horsepower and curb weight and then let them do the mental math to come to their own conclusion.

you kick the door panel every time you get out.

Before owning this car I have only seen motorcyclists do it, but, this is totally true.

most of the people i've encountered to stop and look and talk about my car seemed to not know much about it, and do seem to expect them to be stoplight warriors. unfortunately. so when these g27 owners and loud revving stangs keep asking me "is that fast bro?" answering anything other than no seems to give them the impression that its time to street race.

You know you own an FR-S when you have a movement perfected to get in and out the door.

Good call. :thumbsup: Street racing is for people with low self esteem who feel that they have to justify their purchase at every opportunity. Don't even get into that mode. When you put it like that, telling them "no" is the best strategy. Circumstances definitely play a role in answering appropriately. I wasn't imagining a stoplight conversation, I was imagining just a conversation with a group of guys. Well played indeed - just defuse the situation. :respekt:

You know you drive an fr-s when your getting sideways between poles in the rain; in an open parking lot and people are watching. You pull up and they said quote "thats sick bro' i said i know , fr-s and he says I KNOW. lol:thumbup:

You look at your scion badged steering wheel and realize that your external toyota badges cannot hide the fact you drive a scion.. unless.. nvm I'm broke :(

You know you have an FR-S when you wish you had unequal length headers everytime your neighbor fires up his wrx.:(

Every time you go by a large empty parking lot, you make a b-line to it and start drifting away.

You know you own an fr-s when you're parked eating, and you look up to find an suv has pulled in beside you. After a few minutes the suv starts to pull away and you realize it was a newer Ford Taurus.

...when you adjust the passenger seat perfectly so that your 2 y/o sitting in the back cant kick the shit out of it.

You know you own an 86 when you pass someone in the corners after they flew past you on a straight.

This!

When a beat up 90s impreza tries racing you while their cute girlfriend smiles and waves at you.

When you get a stupid grin on your face every morning because you know you get to drive to work in 5 minutes....

When your girlfriend complains you park to far away from everyone else...

Hah. Yes.

Granted, it's also in an attempt to avoid parking under the trees around here...especially pines. I've seen too many fallen limbs around my complex to really care for any of that.

Also when you see cars going across an intersection behind you and notice the drivers staring at your car the whole time.

...when you get annoyed that you have to actually use the key in the front door of your house...
