Mom and FRS
 
I recently paid deposit on a 2014 FRS that I have secured for my university years. I live in Vancouver, BC and my parents are abroad but my mom is visiting to help me settle in for a month. I've bought myself a car but want to avoid the crazy car rent prices here so I'm hoping to let my mom take the car around for the month. I don't really know what I'm asking, but is it a car that a woman can drive without hassle? I don't want random guys taunting her or starting her down from their cars if its not a really feminine car. There was a post here about you guys getting lots of looks and compliments but I'd like to avoid that with my mom.

Many thanks.

I think mamadukes in a FR-S would be badass!






more on topic: It's not a F/A-18E Superhornet, it's a Scion. You turn the key to start it, select the gear and step on the gas pedal to go. Brake pedal to stop. There's a dial in the center that tells you how fast you're going. Anyone can drive it.

Worse that could happen is someone could say "nice car" or ask a question and she just has to say it's her son's car.

OP sounds sexist.

My wife (age 70) loves to drive my 6 spd FRS!

My mom drives my BRZ on occasion, when she isn't driving her charger rt with the Daytona package.

Don't be sexist, some women can drive better then some men.

Its a car... Who cares who drives what

Youre mom will look badass on it. Buy her a sunglasses.

Ignore these guys OP. Let me give you the straight facts. This car does NOT like ovaries. In general, female genitalia tend to run a bit warmer which warms up the cabin... which causes most people to turn on the A/C. However, the A/C will now be circulating inferior feminine heat which will bog down the patriarchy pulley. If you must let her drive it, only allow her a couple hours a week.

And you should absolutely be worried about men hooting and hollering at her. Because of the known risks women have when driving the 86, seeing one still doing it tells men, "hey, she's got a wild side." I totally get that you don't want your mom receiving compliments, hell, I just about grounded my mom because a friend of hers said her dress was nice. None of that nonsense here! I don't know man, it's a tricky situation.
