Allright, you guys totally convinced me. I will recommend FR-S to everyone who likes how it looks, because the insurance is cheaper than a civic and they could handle it on the first day because experience should not be a factor!

Funny you should say that... When I first financed my FR-S, the dealership accidentally put "Subaru" as the make. I had to come back the next day and sign it again with "Scion" in that blank. hahaha!

I had some guy in an f150 pull up right aside me
On the freeway. Gave me a dirty look and took off. When he realized I wasn't interested he slowed down and just matched my speed for like 2 miles. However slow I went he did the same. If I tried to speed up he did as well. :/

I had a guy come up to me at the gas station and say 'Ohhh weee, that sure is nice! It fits you. Make sure you wear your seatbelt now ya hear?!'

And although I wasn't leaving the parking lot for another 5 minutes as I was messing with my bluetooth and waiting on my husband, this good samaritan stood there until I put my seatbelt on to his satisfaction.

Carrera 4S owner came up to me at a gas station and started chatting about the car. He had a lot of respect for it. That was cool!

Yeah, I had some teenage boys practically hanging out the window of the lil Civic hatch they were in match my speed on my left and yelling stuff I couldn't hear from inside, then move around to my right for awhile doing it. I looked over confused and just turned my music up louder. Never did figure out what they were trying to do. O_o

Pulled out of the dealer for the first time and a guy in a beat up Civic wanted to race at the stop light. LOL.

In my head, I always go, damn that one sexy bitch as I'm about to come inside her.

A neighbor (from my small town) pulled over yesterday in his 128i and proceeded to interview me, I had her parked on the driveway and was playing with the kids. Just saying hi in advance now, cause I know he's going to buy one. We went on about drivers vs riders, people who enjoy driving vs people who just have to get somewhere.

I do notice the hoarding from other sports cahs, getting sized up..

cheers everyone, enjoy your friday.
