Ways your BRZ can kill you

Also don't do the "stare and drive."

even if I'm moving my car out of my driveway onto the street, my finger automatically goes to the traction control button and stays there for 5 seconds. just habit

I pretty much leave trac and stabil off at all times except for this time of the year.

Except the manual states to turn the traction control off in snow/mud/gravel IIRC

You ever play the "how many seconds can I drive with my eyes closed on the highway" game? It's alot of fun.

Did someone say axe murderer?

On a serious note, turning all lights off when you're the only one on a dark road IS a lot of fun. And dangerous as hell.

Step 1: Go online and keep reading and believing online comments on Youtube and forums that the FRS/BRZ is a SLOWWWW car even though the fastest cars you've ever driven are front wheel drives with barely 120hp.

Step 2: Troll on internet forums and keep repeating what you've read on how SLOWWWW the FRS/BRZ is until you keep defending your comments and start to make yourself believe that you've actually driven one.

Step 3: Actually drive a stock FRS/BRZ with its skinny Prius tires and treat it the way you "race" in your barely 120hp front-wheel-drive car.

Step 4: As your rear wheel rotates quickly oversteering at speeds you have never reached sideways in a 200hp car weighing 1,800 lbs and see your life flashing before your eyes, take comfort in the fact that at least you're dying in a good looking car.

That's a lot of lightness.

About 1,000lbs too light

I have done the exact same thing. For some reason 1800 stuck in my head too.

I'll mod it for another time...

I have pointed this out before. The BRZ owner's manual says:

The seatbacks of the rear seats can be folded down.

Pull the seatback lock release straps in the trunk lid for the seatback you wish to fold down.

Then, on the next page is this important warning:

When folding the rear seatbacks down

Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.

●Do not fold the seatbacks down while driving.

If you do decide to reach into the trunk to release the seat and let it down while driving, please be sure you have someone recording video. Because that will be a neat trick.
