Witnessed the curse first hand.
 

Was driving back from getting Chinese (was driving my girlfriends Accord) I saw a poor FR-S get rear ended by a large truck. Not sure if our brother is here on the forums, but my heart goes out to him. Also saw someone in a whiteout one a few miles later from Wesley Chapel.

Hard to see from the photo, but the rear bumper was dislodged.

the rear of these cars take impacts really well. (speaking from experience)

Tampa traffic is the worst and I m constantly worried I am going to get rear ended...

Tampa is horrible...... worse than these tourists in orlando

The FR-S is like a motorcycle if you don't want your car hit you must be on the look out for the fools on the road. I always leave a car lenght between me and the car in front of me at a traffic light so if the fool coming up from behind isn't paying attention I have an escape plan. :scared0016:

I do this on car and motorcycle. It's always better to be safe than sorry no matter what vehicle you are using.

fear of being rear-ended is the reason i installed the third brake light module that flashes it 6 times when you first step on the brakes. for $25, it can't hurt:

That sucks. I grew up in Lakleand and yes, driving in Florida sucks.

Eh, driving in Oregon isn't much better. I never had any problems in my 2 years in Florida accept when it rained and "Florida ice" made every one forget how to drive in the rain. Even though it rains almost Dailey...

I'd move back in a heart beat if I could take my career with me lol.

No.

Considering how weak the trunk is and the diffuser it self, the back sides of this car get really fucked up easily.

There a few accidents of this car at low speed on here, its not pretty.

I ment that it took the impact, and I didn't get fucked up. it's designed well, I should have said, in how it crumples.

I would agree there, safety wise its great but it still looks horrible. :bellyroll:

Almost rear-ended several times now. Anyone have a rear facing horn ?
