To sum up much of what I observed I will quote my wife: "Why is EVERYBODY staring at us? That guy almost drove into the back of the woman in front he was so focused!"

I seem to get reactions at gas stations when filling up. Last time a guy shouted out from a distance "how you liking the FRS!" Just gave him the thumbs up.

I decided to take the new girlfriend out for a cruise up some windy back roads. On the way back I took the freeway instead. As per usual I can't behave myself on an on ramp and popped onto the freeway in short order. Looked in my rear view mirror and there was a pack of four modded imports. They surrounded my FR-S and at first I thought "Oh great they are going to want to race and I'm running vanilla". To my surprise each one took turns pulling up to the side and smiling. So I figured I'd drop a couple gears and take off as fast as she'll go. They all pulled up after a few quick runs to 125, gave me a thumbs up, and went on their way.

A few days ago, a woman in a older Suzuki was screaming out her window telling me that the car was beautiful. I smiled and waved while hoping she doesn't slam into a car at 70mph.

took an onramp type corner at 40 mph and the next stop light a guy was thoroughly impressed with the ability of the brz.
stopped next to a school bus last week at a light and all the kids on that side were hanging out the bus waving and looking at my ride. i dont know any of those kids. |

Driving to the grocery store last night, car full of fresh drivers next to me, all staring, as one screams out the window "I like your car" ...they hit the car in front of them.
