Anyway we stop at the lights and i see the passengers in the car behind me through the mirror all staring at my car, then the white, then back to me. They were on the edge of their seats trying to work out what these cars are.

I was in my FRS on the local 2 lane one way road, another frs passed me, and we nodded to each other. Then he stopped at the light, and I passed him, we nodded again. Then he passed me and we nodded for third time. The rest of the trip we just turned our heads away from each other, and I kept thinking how can I pass him quickly

Last time I was going to NJ I was on the AC expressway, and there was a 5 series BMW with 4 younger kids in it, and they kept pulling up next to me and taking off. They ended up driving a lot faster and got way ahead of me, about 30 min. later I see them pulled overMy brother and I couldn't stop laughing.

I notice a lot of drivers making double take looks in their side mirrors as I drive past.

Was parked on a residential side-street showing the GT86 off to the wifes boss. A bus, filled with passengers, pulled up and the driver leaned out the window and chatted about the car for 2 minutes. He'd seen the car from a distance and driven off his route to take a closer look! The passengers didnt seem to mind, most had their faces pressed against the windows :-D

Where do you all drive to get people starring and commenting about your cars? I've been driving in town the whole day today and no one seem to give a crap

[wrxgoose]

I had some drunk chick try talking to me about it last night (she was not driver) but i had a hard time understanding anything she was saying other than "its sexy"

Anyone get the people that insist on arguing with you about what kind of car you are driving yet? lol

Happened with both my last purchases.

Camaro... I had people ask me how I like driving the new dodge challenger.. I'd be like.. I wouldn't know? It's a Chevrolet Camaro.... And they'd go on to argue with me all offended.... like... they ought to know, so don't tell them what it is or is not... lol Have had many other accusations of what it is or isn't.... Can't believe people.

Same thing with my Raptor when I first got it. People like to tell me what kind of engine is in there, the shocks, power... Insist that it is not a Raptor, because the Raptor is made by a different company... etc... And they shake their head like I'm some kind of tool for not knowing what I'm driving.. haha

People are nuts.

I can totally imagine someone pulling up to an FR-S and arguing with you that it is not a scion, it's a Subaru ae86 STI... and it has 400 hp and AWD.

I was pulling out of a parking garage after leaving the Canadian International Auto Show and a group of the FR-S' target demographic was walking around the corner into the garage. This one dude got excited when he saw my FR-S. His eyes lit up, he exclaimed something that I couldn't discern over my stereo, and gave me what I consider to be the generally understood, horizontally held, twirling index finger. So of course I had to:

Then he did:


DISCLAIMER: for all the road safety concerned readers, all of the above took place within the private property of the garage, under controlled conditions, with all safety devices engaged. Also, there wasn't really any rubber burning, only wet winter tires slipping on a snowy ramp. That is my story, and I'm sticking with it.

mine is toyota rebadged and had someone at the gas station ask if this was the new supra. god, that's such a compliment.

told him it was an frs, then he asked if it had "balls."

i told him it had balls built to swing and handle. =o)
