Speaking of which, I actually got a complement on my car today from the most unlikely source: a Mustang driver. While coming up to a red light I down shifted through a couple of gears for fun and the Mustang that was behind me pulled up in the lane turn lane. Next thing I heard was "Nice FR-S yo!"

I agree. The lane departure warning stuff, the emergency braking, etc. was all born due to people just not being able to drive worth a shit anymore.

I'm happy that my '13 FR-S doesn't have any of that shit.
