(GR86) Second Generation FR-S/BRZ insider info...

[Ghost of Akina]

Around here the domestics are the rowdy ones, they greatly outnumber everything on the road especially dodge. I went out to a meet recently and like half the meet was just challengers lol, the other half was everything else.

There are at least 4 CTR'S, 1 Hyundai N, a bunch of Golf R's and GTI's, a couple of old Honda's, maybe 4 or 5 twins, small handful of JDM imports, exactly one Eagle Talon/eclipse probably 10 or so Hyundai Genesis coupes, a fair amount of WRX/STI's and every other vehicle is a truck....well it is western Canada

Rich kids?

I like your thinking but... There is always an exception to every rule.
In this case; What has a single row seat (or two buckets) two doors but huge capacity and is not a sports car?


A sedan delivery!

We have a few of the German pop crowd but mostly it is older Civics and Neons making all the noise around my neighbourhood.

When I was at UWO for school, I was rolling in my '13 BRZ, but definitely some nice cars (P-cars, Audis, etc.) in the lot...

Can't tell if lucky or mega unluck. I don't know who I would rather, a bunch of trailer trash Civics and Neons, or a bunch of Vapist hair glue fresh boi German snap crackle pop bois.

Bruh, that's like literally every single University or College. Sometimes they even look like car shows going on with the amount of $$$ floating in those parking lots. I've seen more BMW i8's, Audi S7, BMW M cars in a University parking lot than I've seen at car shows and meets.

OH and don't forget all the STi's these college/uni students are throwing (catching and receiving, purchasing and sharing) around these days.

Crikey, I should point out I was a Masters student with a few years of full time work under my belt... Mommy and Daddy never would've bought me a BRZ (I got to drive the family Camry with bald all-seasons, and you're lucky to have that, ya ingrate!)

It's kinda like driving to Yorkdale in your family Impreza, and seeing all the young'ns (20-30 yos) rolling in Astons, Land Rovers, Jaaaaags, etc. (the Benzes and Bimmers are for the peasants).

Ah yes, the families trusted steed. I too once drove my families heirloom vehicle. 2006 Honda Accord Type beige. The catch here is that I never took it to school, no I was too good for such peasantry, instead I had a mighty pass that allowed me to travel from location to location via a large hulking vehicle, it even had a driver and ran on a schedule, no appointments needed.

I see this young Asian girl around driving a Bentley Continental GT often. Every time I see it I hear the full name in my head voiced by Jeremy Clarkson.

Can we revive this thread again please?

This makes a lot of sense as Toyota has not said much of anything about a next gen 86...all the test mules have been Subaru badged as well...maybe Toyota abandoned it and Subaru did not?

And you wonder why student loan debt is so high...using the loans to live a luxury lifestyle...

Possible but not probable. I just don't see either of them bothering to do it alone.

I think those cars have more to do with rich kids than student loans dude...
