I got a friend to take out a lease on a BRZ. Chalk one up for the bad guys.

I actually prefer it that way OP. The group of regulars I hang out with consists of a S2000, CTS-V, IS300, 2.0T GenCoupe, C5 Vette, Neon SRT4, Mazda 6, G35, and myself.

The town I live in has about 70,000 people. Plenty of sports cars, but I've only seen one other 86, another FR-S in Ultramarine, same as mine. I was in my other car so I really couldn't get his attention... hell it could have been someone taking mine for a joyride!
It's fun having something unique, but it's a bit lonely when you're cruising alone all the time!

I kinda like being the only 86 owner out of my friend group. Car diversity is nice, especially when there are more than 2 people going in the same car.

My friends that don't know much about cars think I drive an exotic car.
"Never heard of Scion before, how much was it?"
"Don't worry about it "

All of my friends nicknamed me Mr. Impractical because of the cars I drove (two Mazda3 hatches on coils with 245s that rubbed occasionally, then NA Miata, now BRZ).

They drive A4s, IS Fs, Maximas, etc. What do they know?

All my friends drive pick up trucks (some even use them to pick up stuff)
I received this from one of them:





The sad part is they missed the fact that I also despise country music with a passion.

That would be better but they don't even drive anything like that but it would be cool to meet some other 86 owners in Boston

It is known that here in the PNW, you get your choice of an FRS or BRZ issued with your driver's license.

Unless your friends talk about doing powerslides (as in stamping the throttle mid corner so their TC light comes on and hear awful screeching noises) and think 3M carbon fiber wrap looks good throughout the entire dash...you're fine. My friends don't have particularly nice cars either, but we all share a similar outlook on what kind of cars we would drive or how they should be modified.

I make a concerted effort not to remember any country songs at all.
