"Come Race Me Bro" Encounters

[Demandred7]

Had some fun with a Mercedes (no other cars around). Surprised to be neck and neck the entire time until I had to turn into the shopping plaza I was going to. Looked like some sort of E series, but, never saw the rear of the car. Even more surprising was the lack of complaints from my wife.

Well, the V6 Camry is technically faster in 0-60 lol

Just like how people pronounce Target as "Tar-jay" in a french accent, you have to say Scion as "Sky-on" in a french accent. Makes the car sound more... fan-cuhh


What the hell am I even writing?

Person 1: Now look, someone's left out a perfectly good metallic purple fridge.

Person 2: Is it a frigidaire?

Person 1: No its a scion XB "xtra brisk".

That's pure gold right there.

Though I refer to them as toasters with 4 wheels.

What I was getting at is Hyundai makes lower quality pieces of shit with no performance or quality background, and now people are driving them with a cockiness like they are some badass race car. Oh cool, they have a turbo. Let's see how that car is doing in 5-7 years. Do we have room to talk? Yea. Subaru and Toyota have a little experience in the tuning/racing/quality department. Do you consider your FRS/BRZ to be on the same level as a Hyundai, oh wait I'm sorry, a Genesis? I don't.

I don't know, I see you have an FR-S and it might be different. No offense to FR-S owners out there, but I wouldn't ever buy an FR-S for the simple fact that it is a Scion. Subaru carries a little more prestige than Scion. Just my opinion, flame away.

Yes sir that badge makes all the difference in the world. The FRS must be really bad to have that badge. No where near the quality of a Subaru since they are world renowned as a prestige brand.

And exactly how many times does the average person refer to a growing twig or a royal descendent in a conversation? Maybe not uncommon in your neck of the woods but I have never heard it spoken in either context in my whole life. Even then they could pronounce it wrong.
