You should've asked what he/she drives. Then say, "oh wait, you're a pedestrian. Enjoy your walk" and slowly drive away as you roll up the windows.
Yeah man I wanted to but in the end i think i would have looked dumb arguing with littles shits like them. Knowing the type of comebacks these kids say they would have said something mom related or sister. Now there i would have lost it.

Got that right, they just want fast and loud. They're ignorant but they'll learn or maybe not. ehhhh fuck them lol. Will never regret my purchase.

I think a lot of people don't have perspective. They call themselves car guys but only ever read spec sheets. Yes this car is cheap and slow. But when it comes to your money what can you do. A lot of people shit talking are driving corollas so doesn't bother me.

Comes to mind for me one guy who "doesn't get" my car. Yet he drives an accord and had some hooptie before that. And likes to talk about drag racing his civic back in the day. But it's OK, same way I don't understand people like that they don't understand us.

About 1 month into owning my BRZ, i pulled up into a little shopping center so that I could buy some french fries. It was packed so I found an open space right where a group of middle schoolers were hanging out. As soon as i was half way into the burger joint, they yelled out "daaaaaaaaamn thats a gay ass car". At first I didn't think nothing of it assuming they weren't referring to me. I was wrong. They said the same phrase again as I turned on my car, as I was leaving the parking area and just to make sure that I knew they were talking about me, they decided to to yell "daaaaaamn thats a gay ass car, the red one leaving over there". Yup, my first outspoken haters came in the form of little 13 year old middle schoolers. So does anyone else have a hater story to tell?
I find that odd as I get the most compliments and stares out of that age group. My 14 year old grandson is the coolest kid at the cottage because I drive my car.

My wife despises my car. She has been in it twice and will never, ever ride with me again. She thinks we are going to get run over by a truck and be killed. She isn't joking and truly fears it. Doesn't help that when sitting in it all you see is other vehicles door handles and trailer hitches I guess.

I haven't gotten anything but compliments from strangers, but my friends and I like to joke around about how slow the car is. It's actually not bad but compared to the 400+ whp cars they drive, yeah it's slow lol.

I find the "fastness" of the car to be adequate enough for what it is.
The car handles incredibly well, and puts on a smile on my face every time.
That being said, I was out with friends last night and as we met in a parking lot they were admiring my BRZ.

Later that night we saw this jag F-type parked, and a couple people commented how it looks so much like the BRZ...and in some ways, prefer the looks of the BRZ.
I said yeah, but that Ftype is $126k, and about 300 more hp!

They both said they were amazed at how much the 2 cars resembled each other, and that the BRZ pulls off its sexiness so well for so little.

I've honestly gotten nothing but compliments on the car, even though my fiancee doesn't like it much. That said, I seem to have been the recipient of more aggressive drivers near me than in any other car I've owned.
