Anybody else getting lots of attention from guys on sport bikes? This guy on a 600RR gave me "the nod", so I returned it and also pointed to his bike(it was nice), he shook his head no, and emphatically pointed to my FR-S. I said thanks and gave him a

, that was pretty cool.

I was on the side of the road with a Ferrari F430 and a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder with a flat tire. A CHP officer pulled up to make sure everything was ok. I was very amused that neither the Ferrari or Lamborghini phased him but he loved my FRS

In L.I New York... people look at the car and for a moment WTF sexy but then glimpse at the SCION badge and be like "oh its a SCION" smh! and walk away. so that why i'll be de-badging as soon as i find a good emblem to replace the scion emblem.

Ok, you have a choice. Stand proud and help build Scion's reputation, or hide behind a fake badge.

I can understand wanting to change the badge but I think I'll take the opposite route. I plan on "playing up" the fact that it's a Scion and in the Car and Driver I got in the mail yesterday they compared it to a Porsche Cayman S.

Finally got my car so let's see what happens! I guess it would help if I learned to drive manual better and would stop jerking into first gear...maybe I won't look like such an idiot then lol.
