I'll acknowledge and wave, peace, salute as much as possible! I like when there is a shared sense of comradery

absolutely no one on the highways looks around. They are all in a bubble. Some say that's paying attention to driving, I call it driving with blinders on, like a horse.

I would think the Vulcan would be a little bit (about 1 fingers worth) more shocking than the regular shocker lol

Pulled up to a Guy driving brand new asphalt FRS at corner of San Bruno Ave and El Camino. He had both windows down and the biggest smile on his face. Congrats on the car!!

10:00am - W. Hedding St. then make a right onto N. 1st Street. Asian guy in a Ultramarine FR-S. TRD spoiler and a font plate relocator.

12:15pm - 101 South right before the 680 split. Filipino (i think) dude in a Raven FR-S. GrimmSpeed license plate frame and front plate relocator.

Heres a clip for you guys to watch while to pull the stick out your asses!

I've only waved to 3 FRS/BRZ for the 7 months i've gotten it, I've seen about 8 of them. The others don't really acknowledge me. If I see em on the road going the same way I usually speed up and go ahead of them so they can see then slow down and look over, if they look back then that's cool but some people don't even care to look and that hurts me a bit haha. I wish it was a tighter community like it was in the beginning. One FRS I saw driving was an old lady, like 60-70 years old. I slowed down only to be disappointed as she didn't even look at me.

Biggest problem I see is that some of the people who drive this car does not know the heritage it carries and the weight it has.

I have the money, but I can't even find an AE-86 now for sale that is street legal. I wish I was able to find one and buy it. I'd keep it for life!

Oh man, the other morning I saw one that looked exactly like this (complete with lettering on door) drive past shortly after I parked at work:

I was pissed that I didn't see him while I was driving my 86!
