I'm actually rather amazed at how comfortable it is for long trips. On long trips I do wear ear plugs though, a habit I picked up when I used to drive late 80's Civics back from Cali. It really cuts down on fatigue, even in a really quiet car.

Florida to TN/NC, some mountain driving, then Cincinnati for a BBQ, then Mid Ohio for 2 days (ITR Expo HPDE), then Cedar Point, then Cleveland, then Toledo to visit Accelerated again and drink some brews, then back to the carolinas for a bit, then back to Florida..

That will probably take me 2+ years... I'm on the bike so much, the car typically sees less than 5k miles per year. The BRZ may change that...

I had my car for over a month and only about 970, lol....

Sounds epic. I've got a couple friends who hit up the ITR expo every year...always a great time.

I know a guy who owns a tire shop here in WI. He had the 2nd FRS in the state...it currently has 93 miles on it. He said that he doesn't want to drive it around until he his custom volks come in. Heh.

Do you find the car as comfortable for commuting as I do?

It's definitely more comfortable than what I imagined lol.. Coming from an Infiniti G37 I thought I was going to give up a lot in comfort since I had the softer leather seats. I dont know what it is about these seats or maybe the position but my lower back definitely bothers me less than how I used to feel commuting with the Infiniti.

10,000 in a little over 2 months. I was feeling bad about cracking 2k in the second month. Your warranty is almost 1/4 threw in two months. What do you get a new car every 2 years?

pinoyplaya · 08-13-2012, 10:09 PM

Only 10k? Im already at 75k

jk

Ninjin · 08-13-2012, 11:12 PM

I'm looking forward to your post in Feb 2014 when you hit 100k!

=D

On a side note, I rode in an FR-S for the first time at an autocross this weekend. My first thought on getting in the car was, "man these seats are awesome." One mind-blowing run later with a great driver at the wheel and I was still thinking about how awesome the seats were as I got out. It would be really, really hard to justify replacing the stock seats in this car.
