My favorite story: I pull into my local gas station. Get my car pumping and step well away from the car and pump. So I am now on the side of the building out of view.

This guy comes outta no where from my view. "Oh my God!! What the **** is this? Oh my God!! Who's car is this? Oh my God!!"

He then spots me as I'm chuckling at his yelling in the middle of a gas station. I mean full throttle yelling.

"Is this your car?" Still yelling mind you. "Yep, it's mine. It's a BRZ." I then go into the status quo explanation of the twins.

He asks me to do a six-po on it. "Not gonna happen now guy. I've just gotten off and selling my car is the last thing I wanna do right now."

He says "That's cool. Thanks for the explanation and information."

He was some kinda temp sales guy working at the dealer across the street.

I've gotten the LFA question before from a random gas station attendant. Also Lamborghini from a female friend.

Not everyone knows about cars, but apparently people recognize a low, sleek shape.

Despite what the Toyota marketing team wants you to believe the FR-S has way more in common with the first few generations of the Celica than it does with a 80's Corolla

I mistook an upturned wheelbarrow for a Porsche once.
And later that very same morning, I saw a loaf of bread that looked like a VW microbus.

JDMenrique · 03-02-2013, 09:25 PM

I had a security guard think it was an LFA when I first got it.

I laughed a little inside.
