Yeah, need to watch out for that, we noticed that when I first showed it to my friend and he leaned on the fender as we were checking out in the engine compartment. It flexed a lot. Luckily he noticed quickly and no damage was done.
This ain't like my friends '53 Chevy!

Had a guy in an honda odyssey roll down his window at a light and ask me how I like it. I said its a fun car.. After it went green he smoked my ass to 60mph. Next light he said "not so fun now is it?"

More people want to cut me off for some reason but I'm usually doing 5mph over the limit. Oh yeah, then they start braking really hard afterwards. Odd ducks in this world. When I had my modded WS6 Trans Am, nobody ever did that. These cars need more hp from the factory.

Yesterday seemed to be the day for neck breaking for some reason, or maybe I'm just getting more observant. Caught people staring on like 7 separate occasions; some attractive girls as well.

Of course I had to make a fool of myself on one of those occasions because I thought I had the stick in first at a downward sloping light, but it was in neutral, so there's me rolling backwards, engine revving high, wondering why the car won't get into first gear lmao...

Sometimes older people look at me like they hate me. I don't know why. It's either jealousy (not trying to be arrogant; it just seems like one of the only logical reasons) or they just don't like young people. Perhaps both.

Lots of stares two days ago as well. A guy in the passenger seat of a car driving through the Taco Cabana parking lot must have literally spun around in his seat because he stared at the car for so long. Since I was in the car, I felt it proper to wave frantically and blow kisses to make him feel uncomfortable.

Also head nod and smile from a guy in a Mustang.

Which is all great. Since I've got the car, I haven't got that much attention, but the past couple days have properly fed the ego. Not that I care in the slightest.

So far no one seems to have cared, but I have gotten more people toying with me than I did in my BMW. Had a Cayman owner pacing me, and an S4 owner doing the same on the highway, both were looking at the car. No comments though.

Considering the fact that my car is my DD, the gas stations along my normal route are pretty much jaded by my car by now. But when I drive through Scottsdale, it's hilarious seeing guys in Ferrari's break their necks to check it out! Also we have weekly car shows here at the Pavilions, they aren't a formal affair more like a weekly car enthusiast get together that hundreds of cars show up to, and you never know what might show up...only car I've seen draw bigger crowds than our row of FRS/BRZ's was the Ferrari Enzo that showed up a couple weeks ago...needless to say I wasn't surprised that a million dollar car stole my thunder

Hahah today I was parked in front of a Local Bubble tea place where there are a lot of pedestrians. I was just sitting in the car using their wifi and waiting for my shift at work to start. This guy crossing the street with his friends turned his head once he saw and couldn't stop staring. He didn't realize I was in the car and stared all the way around. Looked as if he couldn't figure out what it was

While at the 7-11, a gentleman approached and asked about my FR-S. He was hoping to get one. I made sure to direct him to our site so hopefully he will make an appearance.

The new trend the past two weeks have been

Person: "What's the horse power in that thing?"
Me: "200"
Person: "I bet it can move"
Me: "it does good for what it has. The corners are where it shines though"
Person: "Thanks and have a merry Christmas"

That same conversation has happened at least 4 times on the last two weeks.
