Just started a new job, and I've had 3 or 4 people come up in the first week, asking if that was my car.

I turn around and take a second look at my car every time I walk away from it. That's all that matters. I'm still very much in love with my beauty.

Nice vid, would have helped him for sure. He had to have a second go at it to get it done.

When I first got the car, I got the occasional compliment of how nice of a car it was. But now, I'm only getting comments from people telling me how its not a real sports car and how its slow, etc. The FRS/BRZ has definitely gained in popularity/ownership lately so it is not that uncommon to see one anymore.
I am considering trading in for a 2015 WRX STi, but until then:

I still get people looking when they pass my car.
The driver in a red dodge charger gave me the shocker sign when i was driving around some twisty roads earlier. |

Went to pick up my new handgun yesterday. And forgot about the annual peddlers fair in town. Being in the foothills of the sierras, a lot of cars and bikes make the nice drive to get out of the valley heat. I got ether a wavw or a headlight flash from, 2 Corvettes, show car quality black and yellow Camaro, a number of bikes and thumbs up from both the CHP officers working traffic control as I purrred passed the in first gear with my OTH and catback.
As I got to the gun store, I backed up to the store. I put in park and tap the gas, to hear the exhaust noise against the cinder block wall. Now, the regular gun shop guys are in side. These guys own cars like 65 stingrays, 440 Charger, 383 T bucket and 454 Nova, all come out to check out the noise. As old as they are, the knowledge of modern car is amazing. A quick trip to the gun shop turns in to a 2 hour long discussion of horsepower, modding cars, turbos vs supercharger, power vs weight. I have to pop my hood to show my goodies. Im finally allow to go in to pick up my gun, but not with out more discussion of the restrictions to the modern car. Driving back, more head light flashing, and thumbs up by two different CHP officers doing traffic control. I love my car. So much for a quick trip to the gun shop. |

I get looks here and there. It gets annoying when I'm driving and people get curious. They tend to tailgate or drive right next to me. I avoid driving alongside other vehicles like the plague, especially if I can help it. Lesson learned from riding motorcycles. I had a co-worker of mine say how much it looks like a Ferrari. And some of my off-road-bro co-workers keep referring to it as a rice burner. It's certainly a striking vehicle, but my BRZ is SSM, so it blends it much better than louder colors. Just the way I like it.

Yep, pretty regularly, which is weird because there's a lot of 'em out here.

"Saw a hot girl in a black FRS today driving from Chicago. Was next to her for a good 5 minutes, and I don't think she ever looked over at my BRZ. WTF Actually for every BRZ/FRS I see, they never see me. I would love to wave at these people
