Let's not be to hasty here! I see that you are in LA so that is a plus. You also get points for the Supra. But...the Prius is almost a deal breaker.


Please fill out the attached application and submit it along with a current bank statement and criminal background check and we will get back to you in 4 too 6weeks.

Hmmmmm.... To me it made more sense cuz guys stare at girls that drive nice cars. But if u were a guy it would be kinda awkward and strange for a guy to do all that for another guy

I think i need to keep a copy of this for when my daughter gets older...take the young men to the garage to show them my car and make them fill one of these out while sharpening an axe or something...that doesn't make me sound crazy right?!

I had a guy on a motorcycle hit the van stopped in front of him and bounce off the car in front of me because he was looking back. I'd like to think it's because I'm a girl but I think the car had something to do with it too. Luckily he was okay but the bike took some damage and he dented the car's fender.

A few weeks ago I was working in the garage on my wife's IS250 with the garage door open, and this car rolled past and slowed down and then proceeded to circle the block to be able to take 2 more passes. Its debaged except for the Toyota badge so I figured they didn't know what it was but on the third pass I waved them over and they slowed to stop, and the passenger says "hey is that an FRS", "yes, yes it is" I replied. "Cool car man" he says and then asks "how much hp does it have?"...my smile disappears and silence for like 15 seconds "enough to be fun" I said so then their like "ok thanks" and they drive away...always with the hp question, some people don't get it. Although I have thought after my warranty is up going FI...we will see...

Also to tell the truth before I bought my FRS I was one of those people who walked in to a lamp post along Portage Ave one night while staring back at a BRZ driving by on cruise night in Winnipeg.

Yes that was me! lol

I guess I'm an anomaly, but I've been driving mine every day for a month now in San Antonio, and I haven't had one incident initiated by a stranger. I don't drive like a grandma either. I haven't had anyone roll down the window, not one rev, no waves, no questions at the gas station, no race me bros.. nothing. Actually, the guy at the popeyes drive through said "you like your BRZ?" as he was handing me my food, if that counts. I assume it's partly because they've been out a couple years, and partly because I'm an introvert and not very approachable.

The only thing of note that I can recall is that I arguably owned a challenger that was tailgating me on an otherwise empty two lane overpass. They didn't even fight back though. I let off the gas until they finally got in the right lane, then blew past them so they couldn't pass. They just sulked away and went to the other side of the highway after the merge. I knew they could smoke me if they wanted to.. maybe they didn't know that. I don't normally do things like that, but it pissed me off that I was being tailgated when there were only two cars on the road and there were two lanes.

My buddy would make his daughters wait 45 minutes before they coould come downstairs to meet the boy that was taking them out. During that time, their father would be at the dining room table cleaning guns with the young man explaining how much his daughters meant to him.

On the way home from the dealer the day I bought it a car just touched the bumper of the guy in front of him since he was looking at me when we all stopped at a light.
And since I am not only a guy I am as ugly as sin I know it was the car he was looking at!

I swear I looked cute that day!

I stopped to make sure everyone was okay and he kinda gave me a sheepish grin and said, "That's a nice car, though."
