Do you feel awkward in your FR-S when... - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Do you feel awkward when you spot a car that's been directly compared to yours (next to you)?... and seeing the driver of that car give you an attitude?
(This question is strictly pertaining to those with the frs/brz)

ie: Hyundai Genesis driver giving you salty shit eating attitude and look, Cayman driver constantly pointing at your car and giving you a condescending grin, Ricers wanting to race you, 370z owner talking down to you, etc.

^btw these examples are what I've experienced within the past 2 days.

Edit: It's been a month with my 86. Turns out that the number of positive attention vastly outweighs the negative.
Also, it seems that the board in general doesn't appreciate one being too honest or trying to put other users on spotlight. So! I think its time that I conform to the uniform persona of serious business.

yup - especially when I roll up next to aventadors and the new mclarens.. I just cover my face as to not make them feel bad....

I totally feel that way all the time when I'm out driving the Camry and someone in an Accord, Altima, Fusion, or Impala sees me.

Draco-REX · 10-02-2012, 09:36 AM

I don't care in the slightest.

LOL at the comments.

Honestly I don't drive the car because I care what other people think. I drive the car because I love it - I drive it for me.

that is all...

I more feel pitty for the genesis drivers that I see out on the roads...the new front facia looks like it lost in a knife fight. Just way too much going on there.

Why feel awkward so far all the times I've met a genesis a cayman, a 370z or any other ricer car, they've all either complimented my car or take a keen interest in finding how I like the car.

I might feel awkward rolling next to that....

I hardly even pay attention to any other cars much less the people sitting behind the glass... As a new stick driver, I have better things to worry about..

Hix · 10-02-2012, 11:02 AM

My gf's dad has a Genesis Coupe and he is adamant that it is better because it has more hp.

I think that its funny when this one guy in a Z that always sees me, always pulls up next to me and revs his engine. I just SMH and let him drive off.
