I noticed it for the first time on the long trip I took over the weekend. The car now has about 2000 miles on it. Not sure if I just didn't notice it before because I usually have the radio on or...

Gave it a good wash. Dragon dirt and bugs all gone. Actually, it was surprisingly clean after a 1000+ mile drive.

Here's a shot from the Dragon.

Spent the weekend at The Dragon (Deals Gap). And, since I only had a bit over 1000 miles on the car when I left Michigan, I'll have easily more than doubled the miles. As always, lots of fun down...

I had an '04 Mazdaspeed Miata. I loved that car and would have kept it forever but we sold it to buy something more practical for Mrs. MarkS. And then, after some time, ended up buying the FR-S,...

Sounds like you had fun. I've driven down the coast from SF to San Diego and it was a beautiful drive despite doing it in some random rental.

Planning my first long trip in my FR-S: Michigan to...

Yep, the first-gen Minis have a mushrooming problem. I've got the plates to strengthen the shock tower mounts. Didn't have a problem yet but with Michigan roads, I didn't want to risk it. Ditching...

Mine also has a 15% reduction pulley, Milltek exhaust, Alta intake, and a few other things so yours sounds very similar. I agree, it definitely does ride more harshly than the FR-S, though replacing...

My daily driver is a 1996 Saab 900 SE. It's well-worn but it feels pretty sporty to me until I've spent some time in either the FR-S or my 2005 Mini Cooper S--the Saab is vague and floaty by...

I've seen it several times, most recently a few days ago at Seven Lakes state park in Holly; I was driving my white FR-S as well that day and he stopped and chatted with me a bit. I didn't get a name...

I live in Michigan, another no front plate state. I know just what you mean, so many cars these days look much better without a front plate. At least that's one good thing about living here. Now if...

If the service were provided on the plate too, at least. In the end, that's why I ended up going with the FR-S. I've already got some fairly expensive to maintain cars (including a Porsche), so...

I thought I wanted hot lava as well but I surprised myself by liking whiteout so much. Just got mine in Monday. And don't blame you for keeping the GTS.

Hi! I got my whiteout FR-S on Monday and I'm really enjoying it. I also have an '05 Mini Cooper S.

I've been lurking here for a while and have learned a lot.
