Shunned if you do shunned if you don't...
 
Any other FR-S guys get this? Get shit from "scion" guys for owning a mostly Subaru car. And also get shit from "Subaru" people for the car having a scion badge. I just don't get it. It's a scion, But mostly Subaru. I would have bought a BRZ to have the Subaru badges, but honestly don't like the extras and I like the FR-S front fascia better. So I bought the scion. As far as I am concerned its still Subaru anyways. The manufacturer placard does say Fuji heavy industries. That's all I need.

I try not to associate with those types. I prefer hanging out with those that like cars in general, not for what the badge says.

No one has ever given me a problem. I would probably just laugh at them if they tried

raphy 03-26-2013 10:39 PM

people will always hate. if you like it then forget them.

People will always complain, you can't do anything about it but choose who you will listen to.

Never thought about that once, too busy smiling and driving it.

LeeMaster 03-26-2013 10:43 PM

Dont pay attention to what anyone says on the internet.

Hardrock4445 03-26-2013 10:44 PM

Doesn't bother me one bit. I just find it funny that we can be that nit picky as car people. What happened to its an awesome ride if it looks cool and/or goes fast

Life is good when you don't care too much about what others think...:thumbsup:

When I was young, I hated going out in sandals or in a shirt with a tear or hole, now I'm
like "Bitch, what are you looking at, I'm fabulous..." :bellyroll:

CircuitJerk 03-26-2013 10:49 PM

OP, You must be referring to online interaction? Mostly?

Batman 03-26-2013 10:49 PM

I put Ferrari magnets on mine, replaced the scion emblems with bat symbols, and raked in the compliments from people who know no better lol

Now, I have toyota emblems, scion steering wheel, and a subaru brass knuckle sticker. So everyone just has nothing to point out

People like fast cars because it's unobtainable to modern day standards of society, they are unpractical, dangerous and fun. That's what people want.

If they see a car they think is fast, then they will be curious about it. They wanna ask you questions even though they don't really know what fast is.


Our cars per say are more so about handling and oversteer instead of sheer speed.

The beauty of oversteer is that those who know about it, mostly indulge in it and prefer it. Oversteer is fun, but yet again only us car guys will care about it.

Those who tend to insult other cars don't really know about the subject of those cars, a lot of the people on this forum dislike FWD cars but in fact FWD cars can be a lot of fun as well and most people won't drive a proper FWD car on the track.
