The drive through girl at Chickfila told me my car was "tiny" and "so cute".

At least the hate chicken and waffle fries were awesome.

Most people don't know/care that Scion is Toyota.

Drive through at Wendy's and the girls loved the car!

I got my first negative reaction yesterday. I was driving home on some back roads when suddenly I noticed a Cadillac SUV on my rear bumper, really close. I turned left at the next opportunity, and he stayed right on my tail. I drove the speed limit,and at the first straight stretch he passed at about double the limit, throwing sand onto my front end, but I was glad he went ahead, now could return to enjoying my drive. He was a young kid, probably pretty immature, so life goes on. Love my car!

I get that from this one kid around me. same car, a black older Mercedes, always wants to race, he stares me down then revs his engine and flips me off. he's about 17 or so. i cant wait until the day i see him pulled over by a cop.

I got a Gen coupe pulled over that was trying to race me. Pulled up next to me at a stop light then a cop pulled up behind him. He started to rev his motor so I decided to rev mine. The light changed he took off I didn't and he was late to work.

Everytime i go to NIH the security guards love sitting in my car and asking me questions when inspecting it.

I was crossing the border into Buffalo last weekend and the border patrol officer did a walk around my car, asked if it was mine, what I do for a living and when I bought it... I thought for sure he was going to give me a hard time then he got back in his booth handed me and my friends passport back and let us go, just before I took off he said "That's a really nice car, enjoy it!"

I have a "friend" who flat out called it "Toyota Junk." But then again, he's the one who drives a POS truck with hanging nuts in the back. Probably just the jelly coursing through his veins.

Overall, though, Ive had all positive things. I love seeing people glare at the car like "what is THAT?!"

He's probably mad you didn't buy American, from the sound of it.

Yeah, that is exactly it!

its fun to see ppl turning heads when they pass you or you pass them on the road, but I hate when they keep staying at your blind spot, and they stay there forever.

Swear to god a few months ago a guy at the gas station asked me if my fr-s was the new BMW, ironic now that the z4 will be based on the 86.

Ditto. Great way to cause an accident. I had someone do this to me yesterday and right when I noticed it I slowed down and just gave them a death stare haha. Don't want to make them think BRZ drivers are asses, but I'd rather have that than them chilling in my blindspot for miles.

Older lady, about mid to late 40's walked over to me from her xB in a store parking lot to ask me how I like my car. Told her I love my car. She seemed quite intrigued with the Scion brand overall and had lots of things to say about the FR-S. I thought it was an interesting conversation between two Scion owners of opposite spectrums.
