Random FR-S Buyers

Hey guys

Just want to see how many of you seen random FR-S buyers who have no clue what it is, and buy it because its cute or good looking. Also have heard comments at dealership room, that made no sense and wishes they don't buy it.

God I love the ignore button.

Anywho, I don't spend that much time in a scion dealer to hear any of it. But I'm sure that there will be some ladies that will enjoy it no matter the type of transmission that is in it.

Haven't seen this personally, but of course it happens, as with any sports car, or any car in general for that matter. Some people just aren't as enthusiastic as others, but still have the money.

Whenever I would go to my dealer to talk with my salesman, women would be around the FRS and all they said was "It's so Cute!" -_-

Congrats for being the one to turn "random buyers" into "ladies". Now, for your reeducation:

Be careful with that thing... Your insurance must be through the roof! I think mine was nearly 2000 a year when I was sixteen and I was driving an old slow buick.
