Can a nerdy white guy drive an FR-S?

Maybe it's just the ricy Civics that ever get challenged anymore?

Well I can tell you that i'm invisible to the street racing crowd in my Yaris. I guess what I am saying is that I don't want to get any attention from that crowd. But if I get this car or maybe a tC instead, its something I am gonna have to deal with from time to time. ignore em?

depends on how much you want to tempt fate. At this stage in my life, I say keep it to the track and ignore the idiots on the street

Idiots racing on streets are just that, idiots. Few bad apples kill it for the rest of us, stricter laws, regulations, higher insurance premiums, etc. It really takes little skills to peel away when the light turns green, so what's the point? Nobody wins. One fun and competitive autox weekend can humble the best of us (I'm not the best, not even close though). It is fun to be a geek in a Honda Fit, and pull better raw times than the 'cool' dudes in a Mustang GT.
I'd rather be an understated nerd, liking what I drive, and drive it for fun, than some poser rolling around in a $200k car just for show.

Tell me about it. I live behind a Lamborghini Dealership and every time I see one driving down the road I can only think to my self "hey look! There goes money!"

I have money on Japanese Hair Wax.



But back to OP.

I don't get why you added "white" to it. Lol but tbh, I'd prefer a nerd driving the FRS than a little highschool ricer who tries to start a race at every red light. Lol

I mean, I don't mean to sound like racist or anything. I am about as far from racist as possible. I can't think of the last time I dated someone who was white actually. I guess I started this thread hoping I would get the exact kind of feedback I have been getting. Breaking down my perception that generally, only mean, aggressive, homophobic, misogynistic jerks, regardless of race, drive street tuner or what ever, kinds of cars. Not that I thought everyone is like that. I don't like broad sweeping generalizations like that.

But you folks have happily proven me wrong as I hoped and suspected I was and I feel a lot better about getting something like an F-RS than I ever have.

I say this every post in this thread but thanks again for all the feedback!

A man with good taste

It would be cool to have at lot of FRS/FT86/Subbie rwd meet ups around the world.
Even cooler would be FT86 only racing comp at some tracks.
