Yea it takes a bit of time to see… :notsure: if that’s good or bad
Right. Photos make it look drastically different, but not so much IRL.

This one also had a Japanese front plate and a bunch of ricer stickers and shit on it. They haven't been for sale that long, so this kid was clearly ready to "make it his own" as soon as he got it. That threw me off too and also :disgust:

Because Japanese cars are somewhat rare in Michigan, people seem to feel obligated to go over the top with rice type decorations, especially on BRZ/FRS.
Same thing here. Also we were out wine”ing” yesterday and walked by a brz, :tits: went “is that the new one you showed me” I had to do a double take and it wasn’t … but proves the similarity thing you observed as well.

Also all of them have like the half face stickers “peaking” out from the rear windows. :disgust: they are probably the most “modified” cars out there

Mods are one thing, but the stickers and plates and whatnot are just :disgust:

I hate that on any car, but it certainly does seem to be most prevalent on these things.

Also saw a Corolla Hatch in that bright ass blue color, we were white knuckling on the highway together on Saturday. Looked to be about my age, car was completely stock but looked really cool. Even the wife mentioned that it looked neat.

New rollas look great. The hatch is a little small inside though. Much smaller than your CT

Interesting. I'll be curious to check one out when the GR variant drops.

As a second vehicle, I don't really care about interior space unless I personally feel cramped in it. The 4R will be around for hauling purposes. ANY compact car is too small for a single vehicle for us, this has been determined.

Kind of :mindblown: that someone already got one of these, equipped with snow :225: , covered in ricer :bs: . I still haven't seen either twin in real life.

I was shocked. Especially to see it where I live, we're the last to see any new vehicle it seems.

The :cheese: might be the top :plac: vehicle, appearing on the list multiple years in a row, more than any other single vehicle.

It's :impressive: that it somehow draws everyone who owns it into the forum. I remember when the dude who bought :mahtroy: :poorvette: joined but he :nope: out.

Two things were basically set in stone before I was allowed to buy the car:

1. The plate I eventually put on it must be of the Cheese variety (going with CHEEESY as soon as I can get my butt over to the DMV with cash in hand for the fees)

2. I need to join DFD (I started lurking about a month ahead though after Richard mentioned you all)

You guys are a great bunch and I'm definitely sticking around.

Really glad to hear you like it around here. We're an odd group, with a number of oddballs, but it all seems to work out.

And from an automotive standpoint, we might have more collective background and experience than any other forum.
