Do you get more thumbs up or dirty looks? - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I've had everything from the truck people mentioned earlier to a C6 Z06 or 993 give me a thumbs up. Definitely at least a few curious gazes every drive.

Lately I find more people don't recognize it or care. I imagine it's probably going to start blending in pretty soon. Not necessarily a bad thing.

From what I've gathered so far:

Haters : Guys in newer full size trucks, riced honda civics, Acura rsx, moded dodge neons, Porsche Caymans always try to race me I dont know if they approve or not.

Thumbs up: Tc owners, wrx/sti, miatas, mitsu evos, guys on crotch rockets and the odd toyota celica.

Best experience I have had so far was a guy on a R1 cut through traffic at a red light just to stick his head in my passenger side window and ask me how I liked the car.

I've had guys come up to me and offer to buy my car. People giving thumbs up, waving, nodding. I can pretty much tell who will react. Any teen guy driving a beater, another subby, a genesis coupe, or a sports motorcycle is a guaranteed reaction. My friends always say it's like I'm famous driving.
Now there's a lot more in my area so it rarely happens anymore. Last June was crazy.

I live in a fairly affluent area with many seasonal snow birds driving expensive cars. I've had a number of old guys in Maserati's pull up, check out the car and give a thumbs up. I hardly even notice it when I'm by myself but my wife still gets a kick out of it when she notices people staring/pointing.

I only get dirty looks from kids my age.

Guys give a thumbs up because a girl is driving it. Honestly. I have seen one girl driving one. She got a thumbs up from me. Haha

Jaw drops and necks breaking followed by fly bys with fart cans is what I usually see

LOL was in the fast lane on freeway this morning. 2 cars behind me was a STI and the car right behind me was a C6 vette. no one was doing anything douche baggy but there was a motorcycle in the HOV lane that passed both the STI and vette w/o even looking at them, slowed down as he passed me and gave me a thumbs up then sped off.

Indifference from some TC's, thumbs up from other TC's, XB's. Generally, good response. Also been cut off twice by the same FJ cruiser in less than a mile!

There are a bunch of douches in trucks that mess with me.
There was this one time some guy in a F350 was in front of me. We were getting on one of the on ramps to the freeway and there was a lot of dust and dirt at the side of the road. Dude deliberately drives at the side of the road to kick dust at my car. What a bastard.

I going to remove my cats and next time I see him, I hope he chokes and suffocates on my exhaust fumes.

I get creepers at mine. I don't live in a great neighborhood so I feel like I'm gonna get mugged or something. Mines super shiny black with toyota badges. Idk. My wife always locks the doors when I get out. She claims its because we live in "scary town". Tacoma, WA
