And the other day I was at the dealership, and the salesman said that they should be ashamed to sell the FR-S' the way they look from factory. He really liked my painted stock wheels, black-housed headlights/signals and red tails haha.

I think the front of these cars look weird debadged since the front fascia has an indention where the badge is supposed to go.


EDIT: Even though mine is completely stock (Not much longer!) I still turn many-a heads.

^Definitely turns a lot of heads, stock or not! They are beautiful cars. Lol and now that mine has been debadged for the 2+ months I've owned it, it almost looks weird with a badge

I wish I had bought a brz, that was his expression.

My favorite reaction that I got was while filling up at the gas station. Some guy rolls by with his windows down and I hear out of the car "It's a fucking Scion?!" I just casually turn around and let out a yep, smiled, topped off and drove away with a giant grin.

In my case I traded it but same thing. I was making payments on it and my payment dropped by 300 and since we added a third car to our insurance policy (the Ferrari was on its own collector insurance) the insurance rate from our Jeep and Acura didn't change. We just are no longer paying for the Ferraris which actually was only 45.00 a month.
So overall I am now saving 350 dollars roughly a month as well as almost 150 on gas since I am not driving my Jeep anymore unless I have to.
And again I have no regrets. I am genuinely loving my FR-S.

What I've gathered from the latest posts in this thread is that I could quite reasonably be driving a Ferrari right now...

And besides, we're all like 459,834th cousins anyway. A 459,831 difference sure, but it's the principle that's important.

I was stopped at a red light Saturday. Car next to me in the turning lane with passenger hanging out the window with a camera photographing me and the Firestorm.

I got a couple questions... like "When did Subaru start making a bad-ass looking car like this?"
Here in Colorado, we have way too many Subarus around (mostly Outback wagons)- so its kind of funny to see someone notice.
Usually what I get are kids in Hondas trying to get my attention on the street. This has been happening to me since high school though, as I was the only one in the area with a Nissan. Although, I have to admit, having the white BRZ gets me less attention than my Vibrant Blue b15U Sentra did (but it could be I noticed that more after the sleeper that was my black b13 SE-R).

Came out of an appliance store and had an older couple walking around my car. They asked a bunch of questions about it and gave me loads of compliments, it felt pretty damn good.

I was driving down a big street this morning and a motorcycle cop was parked in the parking lot to my right all of a sudden honked his horn, I turned to my right to see what he was honking at and he pointed to me and then gave me a big thumbs up. LOL.

I got a lot of this a few months back

People don't know about cars, I'm sure there's things you don't know about. For me and something like modern cameras all I know are Nikon and Cannon, wine is either white or red, etc.

You can't blame someone for not knowing a car that came out barely a year ago on a failing brand with relatively small production numbers.
