I was fueling up in a gas station when some guy at the other end of the pumps yelled, "Nice car! Is it fast?!" When I shook my head no he laughed and said, "Yeah it is! I read about those! I know it's fast!"

I just shrugged. I'm not sure why he thought I would lie about that.

I have mentioned this before. I was getting out of my car at a client's office one day just as the client had pulled in, and she said, "Nice car! I wish I could afford a car like that!"

She had just gotten out of a Lexus SUV. I could have bought at least two BRZs for what she paid for that thing.

I have the lightning red BRZ. I have noticed that girls seem more likely to notice red cars. I originally wanted WRB, but in hindsight I realize red is the right color for this car.

Overall this car gets as much attention as I used to get in my Triumph, and it's not even a convertible.
