I will tell you one aspect of BRZ ownership I am NOT looking forward to
 
Here is what I think is going to be a pain about BRZ ownership. Dealing with all the pricks driving like compete asses around me when I am just trying to enjoy my drive. I can almost see some highway hero damn near rear-ending me because he has to prove... Something. Going off the comments on autoblog, it's like I can almost see the trolls I will have to share the road with. They'll see me and think now is the perfect time to drive like a bastard.

The above scenario also leads to my concern that one of those four-wheeled squids will be dropping revs at me within ear/eyeshot of a cop. The end result being that I would find myself having to explain to Officer Smiley that I have nothing to do with the 23 - 16 year old moron who figured now would be a good time for roadway justice. :thumbdown:

As a 31 year old man, I don't care for the possible negative attention. In fact, I had a 1995 GS-R Integra at one point, and while I loved that car, dealing with other people was always an issue.

Anyways, have any of you future BRZ owners thought(s) about this at all?

Always worked for me in my GSX. Or you can slow up and get out of their way if you have to. Make it clear you don't want to act retarded with them.

Very true, and very obvious answer. I just don't want to have to make a post about how my car was hit by some psycho and it starts out with, "So there I was, minding my own business..."

Try driving a STi....every high school kid in eg hatch/mustang wants to race you...

Get one of those 'baby on board' signs . . . problem solved. :D

I just shake my head and wave then go about my business. They get bored quickly and zip off to bother someone else.

Don't mean to burst your bubble or anything, but the BRZ isn't that "special" of a car. Frankly, the majority of the people who you'll be sharing the road with won't be able to discern it from the nearest Camry, never mind trying to mess with you just because you drive a hot car. It's nothing personal, you jusy happen to be a victim of a random retard attack. If you check around ANY car forum you'll run into at least one topic of "so there I was minding my own business when..." People with poor driving habits come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and walks of life. There's just no escaping them. You could be in your dad's '99 Solara beater and it wouldn't matter. Some jerk in a (insert vehicle here) will feel the need to assert himself/herself with a 3300+ lb weapon. Best advice would be to try and avoid them at all costs and be the responsible person. If anything, the sooner you let them pass, the sooner you'll be able to go on your merry way at your own merry pace in your merry car.

Unless you are going to put flames on it or a massive eff-off wing, the BRZ/FRS is going to melt into the mass of rolling metal on the roads.
I like the looks of it, but it is hardly screaming 'race me!'

Don't buy red. :thumbsup:

I ignore people like that, when that happens they get bored. The main aspect I'm not looking forward possibly is this becoming the next civic, s2000, integra, etc. The reason being is the thought of it getting stolen as soon as I park it in a public place especially if I have a few modding goodies on it.
