You know you drive a BRZ/FRS/ft86 when...
 

figured people would have some good stories about ownership or just general comment people make, or looks they get...or anything relevant

i've had a few funny things happen, first off i have a shaved front end, and no badging ANYWHERE, a handful of times i've been asked if it is a maseratti :lol: i guess some people really dont know cars.

A lot of people ask me how fast it is, and when i tell them its not they insist i'm lying to their face.

and then i get a lot of people asking what it is..the two best times:

1) driving on the highway i'm cruising and some ford escape pulls up next to me and start honking, i roll down my window and he yells at me "what is that thing" i reply subaru and he just give me this blank stare and yells "WHAT" so i say again subaru...he then drives away with a very puzzled look on his face :lol:

2) i was at a light, some guy pulls up asking me what the car is...i say subaru, he goes verbatim "i didn't know they made anything this nice" :lol:

You know you drive an 86 when crickets are around all year long

... when there's a few thread like this every few months.

Edit: it's easy to search for things on the forums, especially since the admins did us a favor by not putting subsections as "members only" for viewing purposes.

type in search words in Google and add "site:ft86club.com" and it will limit all search terms to that site.

you know you drive a brz when ...

you look forward to rainy days so you can get sideways.

no one believes you when you tell them its msrp.

little kids walk by and go "woah look at that porsche!"

you can see no further than 1 car in front of you because you sit so damn low.

your mood is enhanced any time you drive it.

every kid with a "sports" car tries to race you at red lights and you casually drive off as they hoon into the distance and get nicked by the police.

A Prius beats you off the line.

Ive been able to get off the line pretty fast once getting use to the clutch and stick but I'm not getting 31.7 MPG lol

When you park on even the slightest hill and you open your door to get out and it comes flying back and tries to take off your leg

When you turn back to look at your car multiple times after parking.

Get excited when you see another twin on the road.

Browse the forums at least once a day.

You know you drive an 86 when you can't shift into 2nd smoothly at low rpm when the car isn't warmed up yet.

This post has made my day =)

You know you drive (a non-modified) 86 when you find yourself yelling "Go Faster" Jeremy Clarkson style until you're going 70mph and you really do start...going....faster.

Made me lol irl

you must not be a very good driver :iono:

When people merge into your fenders..

When you don't have an armrest. ;)

When you live in a state (see my profile) that maintains it's stereotype...where people ask "is that one of them Scions?".

:mad0260:

About once a week.

When you hear a good song and turn the radio up, only to turn it back down some after being reminded how bad it sounds

When you know what "Viscontinued Car-B-Que" means... :bonk:

Don't forget the smoores

Word association. Crickets.

If you thought of this first:

This second:

Then you drive an 86.

This would explain why all these crickets keep trying to get it on with my car lately.

When you feel like you got rear ended by a hefty midget in a power wheels car every time you put your car into first gear.

That is a Grasshopper.

You know you drive an 86 when someone asks you when the car is running, "Is that a diesel?!"

I don't even know what a "real" cricket is anymore... :bonk:

here you go

Any regrets after shaving at all?

You know you drive a brz/frs when you look at the car you drive and it's a brz...or frs.

yeah, the fact i didn't do it sooner. :lol:

When you start to reach for the non-existent push-button start in your other car

When you always have to check your passenger side window before exiting the car to make sure it actually rolled up

When you triple check your blind spots because you can't see crap behind the C pillar.

When you start collecting abandoned shopping carts from grocery store parking lots and returning them to their storage areas. :-(

When you don't know if the chirping noise is coming from you or that 20 year old van next to you.

When you go really fast on a curvy road

When the first thing you do when you hop on for a regular daily drive (e.g. go to work or grocery store) is turn off the traction control... :evil:

This is me

I literally had a cricket on my fender 2 days ago while I was driving my way downtown


Ohh the irony lol

When your passenger attempts to reach for the ceiling handle as you take a sharp turn. Only to find out the handle is nonexistent ;)

You wish you had that boxer rumble :drool:
