At the gas station someone asked me "it's a SKY-ON huh?" as they looked at the badge. :-P

Say it's a Pagani. If they can't recognize it as a brz/frs they won't know what a Pagani is and if they look it up they will feel super cool that they saw one.

Passed a girl walking while I driving through a parking lot a while back. As I drove past I heard her say "now that's a car". Should've stopped and told her my friend can walk home

Oh and a guy asked me if it was a ford a while back

WTF is with that? How are they getting SKY ON FROM SCION??? I have the same problem...

tahdizzle · 07-01-2014, 06:53 PM

I had that problem when I bought a tC when they were new.
Its really sad actually. There are a large amount of adults who are borderline illiterate.

I actually had a person challenge me on Scion v. Skion.

I was like: Spell "Science".

I'm surprised how much attention this car still gets after 2 years of this car being out...had a few people come up to me at gas stations, parking lots, and even outside of my home, asking me "what car is this? Why does it have a toyota emblem? Etc.." Then comes a long conversation....

BlueSTaR · 07-01-2014, 08:34 PM

I just got it wrapped today, and I hit the navigation button by accident for the first time ever so it was giving me an error I couldn't figure out on the stereo.

When I stopped by the Subie dealer omw back like 15 of their people came out to look at it

I love it. Where I live, every corner you take, you'll see a mustang... so damn saturated. FRS/BRZ are still uncommon, you may see a few on the road some days, but sometimes I'd be the only one. Feels good!

But it's a "four" seater!

Had a girl say "Hey, I like your car." I proceeded to respond with "I like your taste in cars." That is all.

Prooks · 07-02-2014, 01:32 PM

Guy just got a Tesla at a red light, "Nice car! Test drove one yesterday, fun car really!"

I told him I'd trade him then we both laughed as the light turned green.

Skurge · 07-02-2014, 03:19 PM
