That's awesome. If I drove I would have done the same thing. Man I want a brz, it sucks knowing you can't have it for a while

Lol I get all kinds of funny looks from people. It's crazy, I didn't expect so many people to react the way they do. When I'm riding in my friends lambo we get this kind of attention, but to get this much attention in a Subaru just blows my mind, haha. But I'm not complaining! I love it!

Yeah I agree, it is strange. Its a 30,000 dollar subaru not a 1 mil dollar murcielago. But I would like the attention too!

The attention is insane. I never thought I'd look forward to stopping for gas, but now a third of the time it leads to a conversation with a complete stranger.

Had someone pull up next to me this morning and yell, "Love the BRZ, glad you didn't get the FR-S!" and drove off.

That was probably someone from here...

YoshiMike13 · 06-21-2012, 11:29 AM

HAHAHA!! it probably was, that would be funny if it was too!

daiheadjai · 06-21-2012, 12:00 PM

Maybe people are just more interested when they know the BRZ/FRS is something us mortals can afford to buy?

Xdragonxb0i · 06-21-2012, 12:11 PM

Always happens to me when I'm talking to a chick.

I bet you it's more like 95%. I mean if you talk to any gearheads they'll have known about it for a while. But I'd be willing to bet the vast majority of people don't know or don't even care.

My dealer told me that he's had people stopping in at his dealership asking about the car after seeing it driving around town.

I had an ambulance driver yelp his sirens at me to get my attention b/c my music was too loud. Lol. He just wanted to ask a bunch of questions.
