The dumbest thing people have said about your gt86/frs/brz.
 

Stealing this idea from IWSTI. What's the funniest/stupidest thing anyone has ever said about your car?

It's slow.... then I take a corner and they stay quiet..

There's a lot of misconceptions about the price and speed.
I blame impecable styling.

"But it's a Scion... should've got the Subaru."
or just
"But it's a Scion"

Oh that's the new tc.

I had an old hag cut me off in an accident zone. I flipped her off as I detoured down a side street. She actually followed me around the block to a QT...I needed to refuel. As we traded insults, the only thing I could make out was "That's why you drive an FRS!" I replied "that's a lovely POS you're driving!" ( a Ford Windstar minivan)

..overheard a conversation a guy and his girl were having about my car. they knew I was in it. She asked if it had a turbo, he said no. So she said, so you mean that this car we're getting into is faster than that car? ...didn't hear the guys reply...it was a f'ing VW crossover...lol...

A obviously gay guy on a scooter at a intersection stop told me my FRS was cute.

ah i finally remembered what mine was. I was at the dealership looking at the FRS and the sales manager came over and gave us the usual talk etc. I told him i already knew about the car since i drove my friends brz in autocross. With a blank stare, he just looks at me and says what's a BRZ. Now i know i should have just walked away and gone to another dealership, but we were already there, so i bought it.

Should've said "...it's the Subaru-branded twin that I'm actually now going to buy instead :thumbsup:" and march to the neighboring Subaru dealer.

"Nice Nissan!!" True story, I was speechless and frankly offended!!! :)

Oh, you got the Subaru version, so it's turbo and AWD right?

"BRO DID YOU WAKE UP IN A NEW BUGATTI?!"

derp

A salesman at the local Subaru dealer said Toyota stole Subaru's BRZ design....:slap:

I told the fool to go google the twins...;)

Girl at a gas station asked what it was then called it cute

The dumbest thing said to me... "I bet it's fast!"..


"It's not."

"Is that the new camry solara?"

...

"Yes"

Lets see...

1. "Why the hell would you buy a scion? arent those super cheap" to which I replied, yep, they are the worst with a smile.

2. "Must be nice to drive a ferrari to work" to which I replied, "oooh, who got a ferrari?"

3. "Now I know where all our raises went this year" to which I replied, really? let me know where mine went if you know, cause I've been searching for it.

4. "Why on earth would you go from a german car to that crap?" I lol'd and told him to go educate himself.

5. "its only 200hp?" to which I replied, yes, its all I need in the corners.... blank confused stare back.

I could go on.... but I gave up even replying to alot of people and I just smile and nod.

Within the first 1-2 months of owning it, I was at a gas station. There was a 30-40 year old woman checking my car out saying she liked it. Then another girl, probably in her early 20s, looked at it and asked me if it was a turbo. I told her no and she responded with "Should have gotten a WRX STi" -_-

Another guy asked me if the car had a V8 in it, knowing it was a Subaru (he was serious) :lol:

My co worker asked if the frs/brz has 200hp at the wheels. LOL i wish.

"That dar must be one of them dar exotic cars!" - Dumb Red from Soddy Daisy, TN

Also claimed later to own an STI...

Is that a Porsche?

Being a blue Subaru, "car experts" automatically assume my car is AWD.

Oh . Its cute

Pumping gas at some station in detroit -

"Yo dawg sick ride"
-"Thanks you"
"I bet its real fast"
-"Nope! But its fun anyway"
"how much was this? 50k?"
-"25"
"itz got a v-8?"
-"Uhh no its a flat-4"
"oh a 5.4? tight tight. Is it twin turbo'd?"
-"No man.. its 200hp. light weight, built for taking corners like a boss."
"I don't get it"
....

*sigh*.

Is that the new Nissan Z?

Cool Genesis!!

Looks fast!!! (Never understood this one. How does a car look fast whilst not moving?)

"That's the sickest Cavalier I've ever seen"...

"what car is this?"
"i bet it's very expensive"

I guy at work has a VW Golf GTI. I have on my work's HP laptop background set and flip a new background pictures of FR-S and BRZ. So he is giving me a hard time about the pictures. Then he states that one other engineer as a BRZ out in the parking lot. The BRZ is parked about ten spaces away. Next he states that the BRZ has a Turbo because it's Subaru. I inform him that it has the same motor setup as mine. His jaw dropped open about ten feet open.

Can I drive your car?

This is why I don't talk to people, it's nice.

Got that one too

"You could have gotten a used Lexus IS for the same price."

I try to avoid talking to people as much as possible
Random Guy - Nice car
Me - Thanks (starts packing groceries)
Guy - That's that Subaru FRS?
Me - BRZ
Guy - It's got 197 HP right?
Me - Actually 200
Guy - No, I read up on it, it's 197
Me - Uhmm yeah no, 200. Have a nice day (I proceeded to get in my car and drive off while he was still trying to talk)
Mind you he was one of those know it all people. Wasn't going to try and stick around

Technically, he was right. There seems to be a difference between what some media outlets say and what the official numbers are. A lot of reviews, including Top Gear if my memory serves me right, stated 197hp. The real number is probably one of these, but 200 is what is officially used, as it sounds better for Toyota/Subaru. :)

"Why didn't you go with the BRZ? It's 0-60 is a whole second faster!"

Service MANAGER at Scion while getting my oil changed:

"I know the BRZ is a few thousand more for the limited, but I guess it's worth it since its AWD."
