Whole new level of respect for my FRS

Just got home from driving up and down GMR!!!! I could not believe how great the stock suspension was handling. I love my car. I gave my friend a 2 min head start up the hill and i cough up to him ripping around some sick turn less then half way up. Great night just wish i had a GoPro.

Took my FR-S up there the day after I got it, didn't push it hard cause its still new, but it handles awesome. GMR is LA's Akina.

I say when you break it in you should see how it really handles.

Never heard of Glendora Mountain Road until now!

I know what I am going to do sometime next week. Looks like a great place to snap some photos too.

yeah a lot of Honda's that think they can handle the roads.

One guys said the only reason he wouldn't buy an FRS is because of the power and he was driving a 92 civic hatch back that was stock lol

I told him REALLY! then said dude your Honda might be pushing our 130hp stock lol

Its fun but if you go in the day be careful because you have way too many people on the roads (skateboards, bikes, motorcycles and cars) i go at night because you can see headlights up ahead to allow you to slow down. also its cooler and wont hurt your engine on the way up (as much lol)
