Bad encounters with other FRS/BRZ/86 owners? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Cliu91 · 07-27-2014, 07:15 PM

We always hear about douchebag drivers coming from other cars (think Genesis, 3 series, Mustangs, etc.) but I'm sure the twins have their own fair share of d-bag drivers.

Be it something you witness while you're driving your own twin, or perhaps you're incognito and driving the family van/SUV or what have you, what stories have you got to share?

For example, a few days ago I was out with my sister to help pick a laptop for her and I wasn't driving my FRS. We park beside a stock BRZ, and the owner comes just as we exit the car. Guy looks pissed we park beside his car, and looks all grumpy, arms crossed and shit (we didn't park close to him or anything, just regular parking). So he stands and watches while we get out of the car, while his fat girlfriend gets into the car and lowers it 2"s.

Just kind of a smug attitude emitting from him.

Anyways, look forward to seeing some humble stories about our own kind!

There's a dark grey one that drives around the north side of Vegas sometimes. You can tell he gets pissed at other cars who aren't paying attention, because he ends up cutting them off and driving like an asshat.

Oh wait, that's me.

Cheapest or most expensive way to lower your car if you think about it.

He needs to bring her along when he gets an alignment, then. Otherwise there will be uneven tire wear.

My license plate offended a FRS owner in Greensboro. As I'm sitting at a light some kid in a red FRS pulled up next to me. I glance over having noticed the car and he is looking at me like I had just made a pass at his mother. He rolled down his window and started yelling at me "MY CAR HAS PLENTY OF POWER THANK YOU VERY MUCH", continued to ramble on and then revved at me. Little did he know... the person in the V6 Toyota Rav-4 sitting in the 3rd lane was watching the whole thing and had the capability to smoke us both. The FRS owner then proceeded to attempt a large burnout when the light turned green...but it was obvious that he didn't think to turn off the traction control. The Toyota Rav-4 walked all over him, as I accelerated at a normal pace to the 45 MPH speed limit laughing the whole way.

My plate, for those wondering what started this wonderful encounter....

I wasn't driving my 86 the otherday, I was actually driving my moms car, she needed me to run some errands. So I'm driving blah blah blah, try to get on the free way, blah blah blah. Try to merge but nope! I attempted to speed up since this red frs (huge dent in the side door btw) was doing 50. He speeds up to match my speed and I try to brake to get in behind him, he wasn't having none of that aparently and he almost ran into the person in front of him. I just about died laughing as I changed a few lanes over and accelerated away.

a car is never going to cure someone of being an asshole so they are found in all sorts of vehicles. i think its best for people to simply not associate any type of personal characteristic to any sort of "community"

not so much of an ass hole thing. But i find around me its the owners with modified twins that do not acknowledge other owners or just blatantly stare. I find the stock ish people are much nicer and wave or thumbs up!

I wish everyone had a go-pro in there car like the russians just so I could see half the stuff I read on the internet.

there's a lot of twin owners in the crappy town I live in, and most of them give the 3 finger salute off the top of the steering wheel, and if we're side by side at a light they'll ask what I have done to the car...

BUT there's this one chick in a lowered FRS with exhaust that mean mugs me ALL THE TIME. Maybe she's jelly my car has more mods? I don't know.

I do know that EVERY GOD DAMN MUSCLE CAR owner tries to race me. Ricers too. I politely ignor them, they get pissed and haul ass off. I've almost ordered a large vinyl sticker that says "yeah, it's slow" to put accross my rear bumper.

About two weeks ago I was downtown in my Carolla when I saw a new, all-stock Ultramarine with a temp plate from Beaverton Toyota cutting people off, having to brake hard and then accelerating madly anytime there was more than 4ft between him and the car in front of his.

This was happening in the middle of busy city blocks - I stayed out of their way and watched them slam on the gas as they cut ahead of someone with about a fourth of the block left open between him and a red light. They must have not paid attention to the light because they ended up having to slam on their brakes hard, and stopped thoroughly in the crosswalk to not run straight through it.

I see that kind of shit-for-driving around here all the time from riced-up cars, Challengers, and Mustangs, but it made me a bit annoyed to see that coming from someone driving an FR-S (that must sound elitist

, but I was embarrassed for the guy).
