My favorite GT86 review
I love this guy's Irish ascent and the gibberish coming out of his mouth about the GT86.

I love the reviews where it just shows people having a ball and loving it. That's the point of the car, not timing runs and paper stats.

He looked so bummed out/depressed at the end. I think that says it all.
And dammit, why don't we get any of the cool options. Real CF mirrors would've been cool. |

Great post. Hadn't seen that one. The guy is just having a ball without breaking the speed limit. I think he loves the car - a little (please add sarcasm font). And you have to love the adjectives. I think his experience is similar to many of us. It's almost like watching yourself in the 3rd person with an Irish accent.

That's a great review -
Some of what he talks about - enjoying the car at legal speeds relates to my favorite review - "It's Thinker Than You Fast It Is" http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...942708538.html Last edited by FRiSson; 02-02-2013 at 10:40 AM. |

"I can feel it down in the pubic hairs in my trousers..."
You gotta love the Irish.

After watching this my wife finally understands why I consider my FR-S the wisest car purchase I ever made and I've made some good ones.

My favorite part was comparing this car to a wasp... It will kill you and your family, and your kids. Lol maybe not the best phrase but at least I'll have fun first.
