I just like the fact that it isn't an every day thing to see a BRZ driving around my area! A third of the cars around here seem to be a Mustang or Camaro.

I actually see a lot twins around my way. At least one a day, not as many as the Mustangs i see but the twins are basically a norm around my area.

I have only ever seen 3 besides my own. I saw one in my college town last year right before I graduated, 1 in my parents town a few months back, and 1 earlier last year in Chicago when I first fell in love with the car.

I am heading out to my college town (Platteville, WI) this weekend to visit some friends, so maybe I will run into the guy. I know he is on these forums because I saw his car marked on the map on that car map thread.

You're not surrounded by rednecks either!

LOTS of twins up in the Pac NW but we also have an amazing level of participation in all kinds of fun events.

And we actively encourage each other to drive/represent responsibly. That's key.

Ha, sadly I can say that in my home town I probably saw more rebel flags than US flags flying on the fourth last year... And yeah, you still see people driving around with them flying going down the highway.

I love my BRZ because it's light quick and nimble may not be the fastest on the road but still handles and takes the curves just as well as I can take it. Hey that reminds me of the old 60s Mustangs with 289. They didn't have much horsepower but they can handle like maniacs.
