Common things people say about your car!
 

Hey all,

What are some annoying things that you've been told about your car? For me its always about "comfort" factor and annoying whining about how my passengers back is sore. I get this about every time I take someone who's not an 86 fanatic like me, also I get the common "suspension is so rough" about my car too. Oh, and don't get started about how hard it is for people to enter and exit my car... it's embarrassing... My door and side skirt needs to be replaced.

Maybe I'm more ignorant about this because I'm in love with my car...

You forgot: Too slow.

Took a girl out for lunch at my work not soon after getting my 2016 Frs, I'm 6'1 and manage to get in and out of it just fine mind you. The second she saw it "omg it's so tiny!".. Well duh.

Thats what she said. :lol:

Sorry.

Poor dude set himself up. XD

haha touche :thumbsup:

My mother complains that the seats are too "gripy". I think they're perfect, the Focus ST Recaros have much more of a grip than the 86's do. I wonder what'd she'd think of those :D

"Is this the BRZ?"

"Why didn't you get a GT-86"

"You could have gotten a Mustang for the same price"

"Don't these only have 170WHP?"

"Why didn't you get the BRZ"

"Why are there a bunch of different names for the same car?"

"It's basically a Subaru"

"If it came boosted stock I might get one"

so many more I cant think of

Drove up to the "taco bus" the other evening, to get carry out. While waiting outside on this little patio next to the parking lot, this cute girl said "that's a pretty car" ....... her boyfriend just laughed and said I'll bet it is, under all that dirt".

Now, I'm going out and wash my car .......:sigh:


humfrz

"That's the weirdest Tesla I've seen" - Ex
"Why does it say Subaru?" - Random person pulled up
"I like the Toyota model a little better but the BRZ looks nicer in white." - Homeless guy

LMAO at the homeless guy

You must hang out where there are just car guys because I have never been asked one of those things by the general public! I bet 99.8% of the public would not know enough about the car to even ask those questions.

"Nice prius tires bro" - Honda guy w/ hellaflush stance and Monster stickers plastered on his car.

Man I wish I had a Ferrari too!

Omg I want you inside me I love your car!

God I can't keep my panties on any longer.

Id trade you my veyron for it

Women..."That's a cute little car"


Men...usually nothing. If they say something at all it's..."nice car"


And if they question what it is...I must explain too much detail for most of them to pay attention to. Me: Well it's a Scion FRS, also known as a Subaru BRZ, a joint venture between both companies, actually it has a Subaru drivetrain.

They usually lose interest at that point. Yet today, I was asked: "It must be four wheel drive then?". Now I've gotta explain more details. Me: No it's a rear wheel drive car. And if I think they have any at all car knowledge, I say, With a Torsen rear differential. That usually shuts up their questions for good.

"This is the toyota with sti engine?"

"Must be nice to have mommy and daddy buy that for you"


I make almost as much as both my parents combined. -_- :sigh:

160's whp.


Why didn't you get a Civic?

Is it faster than a Corvette?

If it was that much, why didn't you buy a mustang?

Why does the mpg suck?

Why didn't you buy a Cameeeeerooooowww they look the same, no?

Nice Mazda!

Why don't you drift?

Wanna race?

I can get one for like $12k (true btw)

When you accelerate, it sounds like your engine is about to blow up. Why?

Is it broken? Or why does it make those sounds?

I would have gotten the STI version. Why didn't you?

If its a Subaroooo why didn't you get a WRX or STI?

Why is it so slow?

Why do you only speed on highway entrances?

Why do you smile when you are driving?

I'll trade you for a old wrangler, civic, accord, mustang.

If it takes premium why is it slow?

Why is it slow when you accelerate?

Why does it creak so much?

Me: why don't you stfu?

That is the presumptive equivalent to people I have known my whole life saying "mid life crisis car?" Did they not notice it fits right in with many I had?

Everyone just yells "ANGRY BIRD, WOOO!" at me...
every time I get gas...

and, why do you have holes in your hood? Isn't that bad for the engine?

LOL

Haha yes a Mustang would be great... if you like driving in a straight line. :happyanim:

The doors do suck though. They swing too wide.

"Hey man, nice FRS"

And then immediately close on you as soon as you stick your leg out.

Every dang time!

I get that one too. But I'm not old like you are, nor am I Canadian.

Same issues with Aston Martin "canopy/swan doors"

I got used to this, I get out quick so door close as I am out. No one has noticed this cool move yet....

My 91 Talon did it as well. It is the curse of long doors on coupes.

"The doors do suck though. You swing too wide."

"And then immediately close on you as soon as you stick your leg out."

Are we talking of the FRS/BRZ here ?

This is the first car I've ever owned which has four positions of the door. Fully closed, Fully opened, and TWO detents in between those others.



And if you can't, at all, in any way, get in/out of the car with the door at it's lst detent from fully closed, you're too fat !



Did I say, this car is perfect, well it is.

Me mommy sez......why u get toy car??......I said.....just to see if it'll fit under my f350.....or drive my cj jeep over it......or maybe because...I wanted change...got a diesel....got a 327.....now got a vehicle thats cheap on fuel..$160/month!!....

My parents both have dodge rams. They. Almost had a heart attack when i filled my tank for less then $20. I understand the feels.

For them, its close to $200 a tank.

"oh, its a scion."

really? O_o no fk given

homeless guy.... everybody's a critic

LmaO@all the posts!
I've had homeless dudes ask me what kind of car is that.
If I see peeps who drive FRS we each say how sexy our cars are or we give the "shaka sign/thumbs up".
For me this car is my mid life crisis cuz I'm old.....Hahaha!

That one kills me. I had the same thing happen when I got the FRS. Coincidentally, it was said by a college aged girl who had her whole tuition paid for by her father and same with her brand new Honda CRV. I couldn't think of anything clever at the time so all I said was


"It's call having a job, but you wouldn't know what that is" ....LAAAAME


Anyway:


Nice Porsche bro


Sick body kit bro (thinking it was a 370z)


Orange? What a ***


It's slow though

They're just like many other low sports cars. Making them any shorter would make it difficult for many people to get into the car. Short doors work on higher/taller vehicles.

I just drove a Camaro for a week. Same problem with the doors, and it's not even a sports car. But I was used to it. I'm already in the habit of parking off in the back 40 to avoid door dings.

Or you have normal sized feet, or you're taller than 5'1". The door doesn't leave enough of a gap to swing your feet in if you sit down first, and the steering wheel is in the way if you try to slide in sideways.

This is the thing that never made any sense about the so-called mid-life crisis. You get married and start having kids, and to be practical, you have to get rid of the Harley or the sports car because braces, college funds, marching band instruments, sports equipment and so on are more important than new carburetors and monthly insurance payments on toys. You keep wanting a sports car or Harley for years. You finally get the kids out of the house, you're finally making enough money after all these years to afford the things you did without... And then you're criticized for doing so.

Anybody who thinks I'm having a mid life crisis because I bought a sports car can fuck right off.

While I was doing some camera work on the new Kouki 86, a journalist came up to me and asked

"is this the new Prius?"

I'm 24. I tell people I'm doing the mid-life crisis early to get it out of my system.

As for the thread. Kids. Always kids.

Kid: *points* "Mama! What's that black car?!"
Mom: "That's a Toyota sweetie"
Kid: "WOOOW"
Mom: Looks at me and mouths "WOOOOW"

I just waved lol. Wish she was hot, would make this story a bit better :sigh:
