You Know You Drive An FRS/BRZ When.... - Page 8 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Raven86 · 07-26-2012, 08:19 AM

when everyday on your commute to/home from work you end up with an evo, wrx, s2k, miata, mustang, or gen coupe following your every move on the highway. i've only had the car a week, its pretty funny how so many cars try to bait u into racing them

You know you drive an FR-S/BRZ when 5 people gather around your car and talk to you about it while ou trying to get gas.

........ or when random people off the streets follow you around.

I actually tack on 30-50 km/h based on the conditions. Usually those signs are designed to be taken seriously when there's a nice layer of snow on the ground.

My dealer was an elementary school buddy, and he had my paperwork ready before I even got to the dealership. :P

Yea, it's all about adjusting your mirrors properly. My parents can't seem to understand this!

QFT! I have a few friends that are probably more excited for me to get it than I am! Granted, I've already driven other ones quite a bit :P

...when the first mod you want to do is to change out all the Scion emblems to Toyota emblems

Yeah before I got my car, I had a bunch of friends that were bugging me daily about whether I got my car or not. Sad to say, but I feel like i'm back in high school, although, the FR-S has renewed my love for cars and I don't care what anyone thinks...EXCEPT WHEN THEY CALL IT A SCION. lol

you are making a right turn and just want to step on the gas to hear the tires cry.

when people pretty much break their necks on the freeway (highway) staring at the car trying to figure out what it is.

I actually never parked my eclipse in or the wife's mini or the BMW loaner in reverse. First day I got my FR-S it went in reverse at work and at home and that's the only way I park her.

When you check your phone and the weather app says it's 86 degrees outside and that amuses you.

I would've done that and it originally seemed smarter but I was predicting that more development would be done for the FR-S and that turned out to be true. There's a bunch of tradeoffs between both cars but that makes them unique and equally awesome.

I also didn't want to pay the extra $5000-$7500 markups/add-ons that Subaru dealerships are charging out here...
