I was going home and my grandparents were visiting that day. And it just so happened my grandfather saw my car on the freeway and said to my grandmother "that car is really nice, is that our grandsons ?" and she replied "no his car is not that good looking."
sure enough when they got to my house and saw what was in the garage...

Was stopped at a red light and a little girl who was in the car next to me rolled down the window and said nice car. After I said thanks she kept saying nice car lol. This surprised me the most out of all the occasions.

Driving to work today, I was followed by a black Nissan Z, a WRB WRX or STi, and yellow (C6?) Corvette. Gave a thumbs up to them as I entered my parking lot, and it was reciprocated by all

I'll put that on the list of things that don't happen when I drive my Focus.

Yesterday, I was running some errands and I was loading up the trunk and I hear, "Nice car" behind me. I start my usual line of it being a lot of fun only to realize that the gentleman is driving a WRB BRZ. LOL, and I proceed to say that he must enjoy his because he drives one (a twin) too. The funny part is that is probably the first time I have seen a BRZ driving around. Up until then, I had only seen them at car shows.

The most pleasing and stuck in my mind were made by some kids walking home from school. They all started yelling and pointing to the car as I stroll by and yelling things like, "I want one of those cars," "That will be my car," "WHOAAA!!!" while they were giving me thumbs up. They could not have been older than 12.

Had a very similar experience. It's weird, random people in parking lots complement my fr-s haha.

Had a guy at a drive through ask me if it was the frs or brz, when i said it was a BRZ he replied with "aren't those ones the faster of the two?"

Brzetto · 07-01-2013, 09:20 PM

I caught guy and his girlfriend looking at my car in the walmart parking lot earlier today, I didn't get to talk to them because just as I was approaching my car they left in their black E46 3 series sedan.

There are only two cars in my town (300,000 inhabitants). One orange and one black GT86. Both owned by females. Can't wait to be the first guy with a BRZ.

I caught a family man admiring my BRZ in the parking lot of Pierce's yesterday. I was seating there eating and saw him admiring my car, he came in with his wife and kids about 3 minutes later. A sports car is what men need, women have their shoes so we need our sports car. Like that European commercial where the wives go apeshit over the husband buying an 86. Go buy your dozen pairs of shoes, we'll buy our $30,000 sports car.
