Had a couple of cool interactions this weekend. Went to a couple of retail establishments and got a lot of looks, one guy's jaw actually dropped and his girlfriend had to drag him along. The other was when I was stopped at a stop light waiting to turn left and 3 BRZ's whipped by me on my right, all 3 with their thumbs up out the window. :thumbsup:

I love giving fellow 86 owners the thumbs up. I've only ever seen one BRZ in my area though.

I wanted to follow them but thought the immediate right turn into oncoming traffic wouldn't be too positive

I was making a right hand turn onto an outdoor mall road and these girls were standing on the corner. Even before I made the turn one of them jumped back a foot or so and yelled "WOAAAHH.!!". Wasn't even going fast :lol:

Had a red SLK up my tailpipe today at noon. Then he saw the paper plates and backed off a bit.

I love reactions to the FRS
 
I had a 350Z owner stop me in a parking lot with his car while we were driving opposite directions to each other and pulled up to me and said he wants my car. I lol'd.

I've had girls on street corners staring at the ride pretty intently. :D

I've had a few drivers giving me the thumbs up at intersections. It's quite a nice feeling.

I had a beautiful blue Impreza catch up to me to check the FRS out and all 3 guys were gawking at my Raven FRS. I like the Imprezas :respekt:

My neighbor said she loves the car.

I see people checking out the car fairly often while out and about when it's parked. Some take pics. Some pose with it even. So I try to keep her fairly clean and detailed as best/often as I can. Your car and it's cleanliness can speak volumes about you.

I have yet to have any other twin owners's reaction to my FRS. I've spotted them and wave/flagged them, but they were obliviously enjoying their ride.

I was at a red light when 2 bikers came up to the left and right of me. Clearly they were friends since they kept revving at each other. Messing around, I revved my engine too. Then the one on the left turned his head, saw my Argento frs, and rolled back, gave me a one of those "okay" or "approved" hand signs- thumb to index in an "o" shape with the other 3 fingers up. And proceeded to join his friend again. As the light turned green, they took off. I tried to catch up to them but failed miserably LOL
