Not really a "race me bro" story, but today i had a guy in a fiat 500 abarth continually revving his engine behind me today in a parking garage. Not really sure what he wanted. I saw/heard him revving directly behind me and was like ok what do you want me to do?

I have not been to Texas myself but whenever it rains here in Seattle, drivers turn into me when I first started driving, except I never got into an accident.

I can understand outsiders not getting used to driving in the rain but people who live here for years still can't friggin' drive when it's wet.

Can't tell if being serious or shots fired.

All hell breaks loose every year when we get our first snowfall. Come on people this is Canada it took you by surprise somehow?

Nah I have no idea of the reliability of the new Fiats. My little joke was based on historic data only. The old guys will get it.

Since having my FR-S, I've gotten more attention than I ever had in my TL-TYPE S or G35 coupe.

Mostly, from CIVICs/Accords/and occasional TC's/Xb's drivers.

More recently though, both a Cayman and Z4 launched off the light in a 3 lane road....I was in the middle and obviously didn't even try to keep up. Had a guy in a STI rev his engine right off my side, while mad dogging...I was like DaFuq?!

Whenever I have passengers over 200lbs each, I cannot even bother thinking of keeping up with traffic light lead-footers. The first time, my passenger had a bad leg so when she dropped into the seat, I could literally see the FR-S lower a millimeter or two; then bounce back up. She coincidentally lost at least 15 pounds while we were friends.


A few nights ago, I had two heavyweights in my car for the first time. Both girls were on the passenger side. I usually have my seat always in one setting but I almost had to check because I honestly felt I was half a centimeter taller! I was about to offer to do some donuts in the parking lot that night but thought the better of it. Later in the night, I swear, one time going up that hill in 6th was fine. That night, it barely made it as some guy behind me wanted to race. I'm not sure though.


It will soon be time for a turbo to avoid sluggish real world acceleration. I inquired about an RC-F today and figure 450 pounds of passenger in a 4000lb car might not have as much of an effect as a 2700lb car

Find a couple of hot skinny girls.

Then you'll have more friends in real life and online.

I'm guessing she had amputated that bad leg?
