UGNNN.. Fucking miss Culver's. I always make it a point to go there multiple times when visiting my family in Wisconsin.

Hahaha! I love Culver's so much! I'm surprised they aren't in your area.

Around 2 weeks ago I was coming out of the beer store and I see some guy in his 50's looking into my passenger window (he was cuffing his hands on the window to block glare). As I approach he says "Is this yours" and I say yea and he tells me how they look great and he's never seen one before on the road. He then points over to his new Audi TT and said that's mine over there. I gave him a mutual nice car compliment and that was it.

Earlier this week I was walking into a different beer store (shut up, I like beer), and I held the door for a guy and his 12 pack of Miller Lite. He sees my car and says "oh, is that yours, that new Scion", I reply with "yes, but it's a Subaru", he then says they have great styling and he really likes them. He then proceeded to walk towards his newer Mustang (no compliments given).

Not for this car, but here's my recent favorite, "are you a trophy wife?" In reference to the new vette. Women can be so catty.

I picked up my car from the shop today and was staring at the blue BRZ that someone owns at the shop across the street. Every time I go to this auto shop, I get excited about seeing the BRZ.

Was in the drive through line at Mcdonalds yesterday and an impreza pulls up next to me and says "That's a sweet car man." Said thanks and he drove away. Didn't catch the license plate to see if it is the impreza that parks in the same lot at work but I guess it has made me an official subaru bro now

Anxiously awaiting the certificate in the mail along with a vape pen, flat brimmed hat, life time supply of monster energy drinks, and an AWD system.

I was at a Chevron gas station, filling up my gas and cleaning the windows on my BRZ, when one of the guys restocking things said "Hey bro, you know the FRS is better right?" We had a quick laugh. He told me he has a 2013 FRS and asked me what year mine was. I told him 2017, and he said "Damn, that looks clean. Nice ride bro." Thanked him and went on my way.

I had several instances where people checked out my TRD modded 2017 Toyota 86 and drooled over it.

At work a few coworkers would purposely take their breaks outside to admire the car. On my side jobs my clients would comment how clean and badass the car looks.

I had a few friends during our cruise sessions tell me how responsive the gear switching is.

"THAT'S your car?!", "So how's the FRS life going for ya?", and "Daaamn bro nice!" are common phrases mentioned to me nowadays.
