D-bag?
So I just drive off in my last night, and I from reading here I knew people would stare at the car/me when at red lights or just on the road. I didn't know I was going to feel so awkward. Now the question is, when people stare at your car what do you do? When at a red light do you just look straight ahead and try to ignor everyone or look around to see if people are looking and when you make eye contact maybe wait for them to say something to you? I feel like a d-bag doing both of thos, I just feel like one (a d-bag) if I look straight because I start thinking that the other person thinks "oh this guys just ignoring us because he has a frs" if I look around I think that people might think "oh this guys a dbag trying to show off new frs" anyone feel like this. I did get a couple reactions last night driving home from the dealer though.
*EDIT* Holy shinanigans! I had no idea this post made no sense at all. I just re-read it and even i had no idea wtf i was saying. I tried to make it make a little more sense now lol. I posted it from my phone before. Last edited by Style; 07-14-2012 at 04:47 PM. |

Just go with whatever mood you are in and don't over think it.

This is still happening to me on a daily basis. I just smile and wave. Most of the time the responses are positive.

But yea, I just look ahead mostly. If I make eye contact I smile but that's about it. I wouldn't think too much into it lol. Sent from HTC Rezound using Tapatalk 2

Just let people stare. Why do you care what other people are thinking? And if you happened to make eye contact with someone just smile & maybe give a thumbs up if they liking your style. And if it's an attractive female just wink, lol.

This is the only car that has made me anxious to drive since it gets a lot of attention. It's like being on a stage
I just stay focused on the road. Because that's the most fun part about the whole car

If you feel awkward about all the attention, get some tinted windows.

Ha ha, great post. When at a stop light I simply keep busy and play with the radio, this way it's understandable to them if I don't look. Someone had to honk to get me to roll down the window and ask why I bought the BRZ and not the FRS

Ever bought a new shirt/suit you bought because you loved it too much? Remember, how it felt wearing it at work? Yea, now you know why this feeling is the same.
