That first thing was the #1 response from all my car friends when I got mine.

Cops let me through a checkpoint, lol.

Hadn't had a real reaction in a while, but did get one yesterday. A rider on a sport bike (I believe it was a Hayabusa but not 100% sure) pulled up beside me yesterday on a four lane. After a few minutes of trailing me, he pulled up, blew his horn, and when I looked over he flipped up his visor, rubbed his fingers together and yelled, "That's Money Dude!" and then sped off.

The wife’s first reaction to the car when I pulled into the driveway with the new FRS was to accuse me of lying about the price. She figured it must have cost more

whenever I am at work people talk about my car a lot but nobody knows who owns it my co workers are always relaying the compliments to me unfortunately I drive the delivery truck more than my FR-S...sigh so it just sits at the store parking lot getting stared at

When I was washing my car today:

"That thing fast?"

I told him, "Nah, but it's the most fun thing I get to do everyday".

FRSure · 04-28-2014, 08:45 AM

People ask me if it's fast. I tell them "no"
Then they think I'm an asshole. :\

oldpueblo · 04-28-2014, 01:18 PM

I tell people it's quick instead. I mean technically it is fast with its top speed, but we all know they're thinking about acceleration. So quick works.

First sunny, warmish day we have had and the Raven86 is clean.
2 thumbs up, 2 people taking pictures at Tim's. One young woman talking to me a stop light. Might have to go home and have a shower now. Ah yes spring.

I've got a BRZ, but I've gotten a thumbs up and "nice car!" about 100 times already. Everyone loves the car!

MikoV · 04-28-2014, 03:11 PM

Was driving my firestorm in my school parking structure with windows down and this guy said to his friend "holy shit that's a nice color". Then told me he liked my car lol. He ended up being in my class.

People came up to my car and said nice car. One day I was at the gas station and a random guy came up to me and said "nice car and I want to get one was well." I asked him the brz or fr-s? He replied the fr-s because its a toyota and they last long. I wanted to do a face palm because he said that even though the twins are the same and also he thought it was turbo charged. I told him its N/A but you can put a supercharger or turbocharger in it. He didn't believe me. Clearly he doesn't know what he is talking about.

He probably went to the dealer
