I laughed and facepalmed him.

wait, he was in an FRS and then started to brag about his mustang to a fellow FRS driver? My god, what's the world becoming

I could probably pick at least 3 guys on here alone that would do that.

From back in July (and in the Come Race Me Bro thread):


Couple of days ago I am headed home on the highway in busy but well moving traffic when I look in my mirror and see this rapidly expanding blue dot coming up. I was already doing about 15 over the limit (so was the rest of the traffic) so I knew the guy had to be flying. Well the dude gets up beside me, slows down and paces me in the passing lane. I have cruise on so my speed doesn't waver one single MPH. He never even so much as glances in my direction and after about 30 seconds just down shifts shoots ahead until he has just enough room, cuts in front of me, brake checks me and continues driving slower that the rest of the lane is going.
I put up with this for about 5 minutes and finally said "screw this", went around him and pulled back into the lane ahead of him moving about 15 mph faster than he was. As soon as I hit cruise he was downshifting and passing me. Once again without even a head turn. The exact same scenario played out once more before he apparently got bored of my love of cruise control and not going to jail and he took off, never to be seen again. Through the whole thing he never even appeared to know I was there and did not look in my direction even once.
Damned BRZ drivers!!!!!!

(More seriously. If you are on here Bruuuh trade for a freakn' Mustang and stop giving us a bad rep. That shit was stupid and did not impress me for one second)

We all know the BRZ has 50 more horsepower than the FRS because of the sexy mustache on the front that directs airflow to the stock Jackson Racing supercharger's intercooler. Come on @Tcoat, get your facts straight!

Ya but the AWD makes them heavier so the HP is a wash.

Dammit, you're right, but the off-road capabilities make it a better rally car than the STi!

Nothing major, just remember someone with "LOW LIFE" decals in his rear window and a drop so low i could hear his front tyres scraping plastic, parked along side me and told me my car looked nice but was "stupid high" and i should "drop it low or you just look like a grandpa".
My cars 0.5" lower than stock, after giving me a headache telling me how cool it is to drop a car low and look "sexy", he proceeded to leave and draw a line of white paint exiting the parking lot as his front bumper grounded hard.

Japan is a shitty place to drop a car if you plan on actually driving it.

For reference - my drop

It hurts my feelgoods because of how many people actually think this. "why didn't you go w/ the BRZ and get AWD bro?"

This hurts feelgoods too. Gives a nails-on-a-chalkboard sort of feeling

But dude, like, I could touch the top of the Empire State building if I stood on the roof of your car it's so high. Dude, you seriously need more low. Like, come on :eek:

It all depends on the teen you meet

I pulled up to a friend's house last weekend and his brother came out and said pretty much that. "I KNOW it's supposed to be AWD, I've been following these cars since they came out!"
...dude, I own one.
then he proceeded to brag about his father's new Mini Clubman.

Maybe you havent gotten the hang of your brz yet. But the highest end sport version of the Rav 4 should be about a tie from 0-60. 6 seconds isnt exactly gutless. It just doesnt have low end torque and you need to learn to make up for that.
