I go back inside, let it idle, finish some stuff (normally pack my lunch for the day etc.) then go back to it 5 mins later. Keeping it in the garage helps with the cold starts because it's not just deficating ears at 2-2.5k rpm's.

Compustar 2 way FTW

LOL I start mine in the garage and my whole house shakes like mad. I kid you not you can feel the vibration in the floor, its awesome! I try not to do that as it sure stinks up the garage with the smell of racecar rather quick. I would say you should get a tune to bring it down a little if you want to keep it quite, that way you can still get a semi race setup and not be a d*ck to everyone within 2 blocks every morning haha

Man, when you have like, only one person you really talk to on a daily basis and that person doesn't really talk much for three days you kind of realize just how damn boring your life really is.

I'm so bored I'm actually working! I hope my supervisor doesn't realize I've basically doubled my productivity these last couple of days.

Just don't make it too obvious. I feel it, I have a person that I text every day as well, I was so bored yesterday night that I actually went to bed early

Well, I do have to report what work I do, so it's hard to avoid. If she looks at my worksheet she might wonder why I only did 20 tasks on Monday and over 40 yesterday and what might actually end up being close to 60 today.

ughhhhh FR-S is perfect for me but small when I have to pick up my nephews from school. Been thinking about WRX for a while now but don't want to get the same car as my friend.

In high school I wanted a S2K for the longest time and my friend is a spoiled rich kid. So he was shopping around for his "First" car (had a first car that was passed down from his mom before). So he started to research into cars and whatnot and goes, "you know the more you keep talking about the S2K, the more I like it!". So he goes shopping with his dad and buys an S2K essentially "stealing" my dream car at the time.

At the same time, our other friend in school had a WRX that he would talk about as well and he still has it today 8 years later. So since my friend traded in his old S2K finally for a new 2015 WRX. So I don't really want to get in on all that, but haven't really found a sedan I liked.

Lol easier done than said. I help my sister out with her kids, kinda a "lets give them opportunities we didn't get as kids".

@YamahaR86 I get what you mean. I have some privileged friends, but luckily we don't have the same taste/I can't afford the cars they like. You can always go with a hatchback.

MisterSheep · 02-05-2016, 11:35 AM

@YamahaR86 what is your budget? Would you be selling the FRS? The focus RS is coming out soon

Yeah it's pretty annoying. He's a spoiled one and even worse the ONLY one in the family that still complains about things when he gets a brand new car every few years, paid off. Goes to college out of state and his dad paid for the townhouse so he has no rent either.

Personally, I don't like hatchback. I'm a fan of the traditional trunk but not too much trunk (like the convertible versions).

I don't think I'll be getting rid of it anytime soon but it's an idea. I'd like to stick close to around the FR-S/BRZ budget is why the WRX is catching my eye and the only sedan I like.

Not a big fan of hatchbacks, and I heard the RS is going to be 5k tacked on by the dealers too. Other than that, the specs look real nice.

Love the EVO but they're rare around my area. I like jdm.

If I were to get a luxury sedan I was looking at the newer lexus IS250 or even the RC but those are out of my price range.
