Around the time when I first got my car (2013 summer so still kinda rare on the streets), had a douchey attitude guy in a hopped up RSX grab my attention as I was getting out of my car to get a Subway. He kept asking what kind of car I was driving to my reply, a Scion... To him rebuttling, it's a Subaru. This went on for like 6 times until I just said, it's a Toyobaru and is face just got confused lol. Seemed like he was pushing me to say something like the car is fast or whatever then maybe wanting to insue a race. It was quite awkward.

Speak for yourself, but since my FRS is a fishbowl, I know that the girls, and guys alike are more than likely looking at the good looking blonde dude driving the car

Well, to be totally honest, the only other person who drives my car is my mother. No, you can't meet her.

Now that I think about it, time to get limo tints asap.

Dude in a truck tried to cut me off on the freeway. Long story short, even though it was probably a v8 it was still an automatic. Dropped to fifth and pulled away.

This past Christmas eve I took my mother out for dinner. After we left the restaurant I decided it would be best to stop for gas. Everything seemed normal but then I noticed the last person at my pump bought $2 worth of gas. I thought, gas is as cheap as ever.....perhaps he is riding a moped. Temp was in the 30s, perhaps not...this person made an effort to stop at 2.

True story, freaked me the hell out.

I hope that you do realize that driving five to seven miles an hour above the posted speed limit is speeding. No biggie but in traffic court, those words would be considered a confession. We all speed. Most roads are under posted for revenue enhancement purposes.

Do cops bother you at that much over the limit? Not arguing what you're saying, just curious. Most cops in Canada will ignore you as long as you're only 12 kph over. That's on 50, 60 and 70 kph limits though. For 80, 90 and 100's you're safe to do about 20 over In most areas.

Although personally, since getting this car and noticing more attention from the 5-0, I've almost stopped speeding entirely and keep it to the limit for the most part.

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.
