If you ________, you might be an FR-S/BRZ owner.

I'll start.

If you're stopped at a red light with the windows down at night and can't tell if the noises you are hearing are actual crickets or your car, you might be an FR-S/BRZ owner.

If you always get asked "is that the turbo version?", you might be an FR-S/BRZ owner.

If you use your back seat for storage because no human being can possibly fit back there, you might be an FR-S/BRZ owner.

If you drive a BRZ, you might be a BRZ owner.

If you think 200whp is fast, you might be a BRZ owner.

If your interior rattles like a bitch, you might drive a twin.

If your door gets kicked alot, you might drive a twin.

If your rear view mirror fell off, you might drive a twin.

If your taillights have condensation even after getting replaced twice, you might drive a twin.

and so on, and so forth.

If the car is quieter with the windows rolled down.. Then you know
You drive a twin.

If you start playing "what's that noise" in traffic.. Then you must be driving a twin.

If you've arrived and are now looking forward to the drive back...
Then you drive a twin..

If your knees are sore after a 15 minute drive, you might drive a twin.

If you constantly have people say "Wow! That's a nice car! What is it? Is it fast?" you might be an FRS/BRZ owner.

If you get asked "Is that the car that got compared to just about every other RWD sports car on the planet?", you might be an FR-S/BRZ owner.

If you wake up to a puddle of water on your passenger side floor because the auto up on your window didn't work you might be an FRS/BRZ owner.

If you drive because you love driving, you might be an twin owner.

If you think HP is only a number, you might be a twin owner.

If you think the chasis is more important than the engine, you might be an twin owner.

If your idea of crickets is something other than insects, you might drive an 86.
