Me: Because Scion is owned by Toyota and everywhere else in the world, this car is branded as the Toyota GT86. I also like the Toyota emblem better.
Guy: **Still looking a little confused** "Is it fast, because it looks fast"
Me: Well it really depends on your definition of "fast". It's quick for sure and handles really well, but if you like V8 power, then it's probably slow to you. I find it to be moderately fast
Guy: "Well what kinda engine does it have? Is it a turbo?"
Me: It has a naturally aspirated 2.0L Subaru boxer engine
Guy: "Whoa, whoa, wait, Subaru?"
Me: Surprise, it actually has more Subaru parts than Scion or Toyota. The car was built as a joint venture between Toyota and Subaru. There's a Subaru version too, it's called the BRZ. Pretty much the same exact car, but with Subaru badges instead.
Guy: "Wait, now I'm confused, so what kinda car is it?
Me: .........

Stories like this make me feel so antisocial. I would have reached "..........." a lot sooner. I don't give that much explanation to strangers. I'm really trying to change, promise.
