Mine is registered as a Toyota Scion.

I'm going to pick up some Ferrari badges and re-badge it. See how many people, police and state officials I can really confuse.

My wife had an old AMC Pacer many years ago that my dad slapped Porsche badges on. It actually did fool more people than you would ever think so confusing people with Ferrari on a FRS should work just fine.

Don't know what your talking about. The Aristo/GS300 was still turbocharged with vvti around that time period.... and then I realized this is a year old thread lol.

I got pulled over in my FRS.... Cop was a douche and the ticket got dropped in court cause the cop couldn't get his story straight in front of the judge

But he called it a Scion. My first thought was (he had to look up the car. No way he knew what it was from 4 miles away.... He lying go to town on him.)

Especially since my car is red. I've already had a few people ask me "what is it"?

Scions in general and FRS/BRZs especially are pretty scarce around where I live so I get asked all the time!
My favorite story (sorry to you guys that have heard this already) was where I accidently ended up in a small town car show back in August.
Had the car sitting there with hood open and the Toyota/Subaru there for all the world to see and a write up with the car's details stuck in the wiper.
Some guy (early twenties) and his buddies come up and start looking it over. This dude seemed way too excited so I got close enough to hear what was being said without too obviously being the owner.
He was saying to his friends how it was the new Porsche and Scion in German meant "spider" so it was the top of the line model! He went on with all sorts of details like 500hp and torque, 0 to 100 in 5 seconds, whole body made from Kevlar (????) and cost over $200K!
He was VERY convincing in his statements and none of his buddies called him out on the fact it says Toyota and Subaru all over the engine compartment!
I just chuckled and let it ride as he will probably tell people how he saw this very rare and exotic car in his home town for years!!!!!!!!

Guys like that in the aviation world get the callsign "MOTO" or "OSLO" for Master of the Obvious/Outerspace Liaison Officer.

NICE!
And doesn't look like it will take your head off if the airbag goes off like some I have seen on the market.

Since 40% of the student body is foreign, they all believe it's a GT86

Touge_ninja · 10-17-2014, 06:20 AM
