I was at the grocery Store yesterday, there was guy next to my car with Nissan gtr. I said nice car, he was like thanks, but is that the new frs, He was actually more impressed with my frs then I was in his gtr, or at least it seemed that way.

How does this car do in drive throughs? Is it awkwardly low?

It's not that the car is low, but with a low roof ( and me being over 6' tall) its JUST short enough to be slightly annoying in a drivethru.

I hate going to the drive through ATM in the FR-S. I've been parking about 5ft from the ATM and getting out of the car to do what I have to do. And Im 6'.

The first time my gf got in the car she said. Mind if I roll down the windows and turn the AC off? I said sure, people are going to want to talk anyway. She said ...about the car? And she rolled her eyes... Within the next 4 red lights I was engaged in two different conversations. lol she hates it when I'm right

I drove by a classic car meet yesterday, and lots of people were taking pics and asking about the car. I was more interested in their cars lol

I rarely get anything more than people looking at the car but had two incidents within 5min today. Was doing a lot of work around the house today so I barely drove. My sister who lives about 2 minutes away called around 4pm asking me to drop off something. So I head out and as I'm pulling up to her house someone in an old red mustang yells "nice car" as they pass by and I see a thumb up out the passenger window. So I head inside and drop off the stuff, chat for a bit and start walking back to the car. As I unlock the car and start to get in I hear "that's a beautiful car, what is it?" looked up to see this pretty damn attractive woman checking out the car. She was older but gorgeous. Talked to her for a good 10 15 min before parting ways. As she walks away I turn to see my sister standing in the doorway nodding in disapproval haha. Laughed and shrugged. Was a good day.

stares. In other words, "breaking necks" since I got and still am! Like today a dude in a nice black g37 with vossen wheels parked across from mines and just stared at my car, then got of the car, walked up it, looked inside and I believe took a picture of it. Me and my friends were in the boba shop looking at him.

I love it when our cars are getting more attention than the gfs. Its always a funny win.

The other day I let my wife drive my car while I drove behind in her Elantra. I was like "damn my car looks nice!". I love its stance. You guys gotta try admiring it from the outside some time.

It had been many weeks but a gentleman noticed my car Sunday night. He was quite excited to see one in person and would have talked to me for much longer but his better half was ready to go.
