Teacher: nice car

Teacher: Is it a corolla?
Me: ._. no mam its a....fr-s

(i have toyota badges, well this car is a successor to the AE86 corolla not even mad )

Later that day a Parent walked by and said "My son likes your race car"

Lol "cute" cars get my attention first. A friend of mine went from a celica to an evo. The attention isn't really from girls; it's high school boys and older men.

I haven't noticed any big reactions yet. Saw a couple of younger guys in a 350z drive by and they seemed excited to see my car.

Friday night around 11:30 wifey and I were cruisin the Las Vegas Strip in my Firestorm. Pulled to a super busy stop light at Fremont Street and LV Blvd. Just as I pulled to a stop a newish orange Lambo pulled up next to me with his top down. Gobs of people were now crossing the street and I notice one guy and his buddy were looking at us more than the Lambo and we watched as he mouthed, "it's a Scion". They get across the street and stop and stare at us both. Light turns green and we both hit the throttle. At half a block he was only 1/2 a car length ahead. I'm sure he didn't know I was that close or he prolly would have stomped on it. (Had to slow down for the upcoming light) but I wish I could have had my stunt double back at that intersection to see everyone's reaction.
I'm sure all the local Scion dealers will sell a few more FR-S's this week.

Had a couple cars blow by me on the freeway when I wasn't looking (one BMW and one Mercedes) I flipped out of my lane and caught up doing over 100. I'm sure they looked in their mirrors and thought WTF is that keeping up with me? HAHAHAHAHA

This car is a blast.

Gooogly eyes from on lookers at most stop lights.

My favorite is when I'm driving and can see people going out of their way to get a good look at my car.
I generally get thumbs up at stoplights/signs.

Every F*wit kid in a Jetta tries to race me now. I've noticed that.

The most attention i receive is from female senior citizens.. my gf called me "cougar meat" the other day..

A few guys recalled the day my frs showed up at a meet. Someone asked if there were explosions and if it was as epic as the commercial.
The response, "Yeah, a girl got out of it!"
Lol

While at a friends house, his neighbor came over and said he thought the FR-S was beautiful and said he was going to tell his daughter who was not home at the time to test drive the car at the dealer.

At the tire shop the other day (getting Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3's) a mechanic pulling a car into the bays saw me walking from my FR-S and said "Hey, is that your car?" (read: doubtful tone).

Nice.

Same thing happened to me when I pulled in my Series.Blue to get the same set of tires.

You're going to love these tires btw. What size did you get?

[Tcoat]

My wife: "That is a horrible colour you need to get blue!"

[86geek]

Hey x1UP!
We've chatted on another thread on this. I bought stock size and yes, I love them. Definitely more stuck to the ground, and a tad less fuel efficient. Still checking them out. Hoping it's warm enough today to wash the car and get some tire shine on the new treads.
