I showed it to my wife and smiled. She turned to me and asked, "if you had a car like that would you quit acting and driving like an "old" man. Seems everyone has noticed I've gotten old, except me. Well, I was driving a Ford Fusion Hybrid and the next time I was out, I noticed I looked and drove like an old man. I immediately began looking for an FRS. I went to the local Toyota/Scion dealer and told them I wanted to trade. I hate working a trade with a dealership but had to get out of the Fusion. It only took a few days and they gave me a great deal. They had to find my car since I wanted the Halo white color. They found one and I am now driving it and loving every moment behind the wheel. I never told my wife I was looking so when I took my new baby home, her only comment was, "very nice, now maybe you'll stop being an old man". I've ordered Buddy Club Taillights and am currently installing foglights. I have deleted the sound tube and will soon be ordering my Nameless Axelback exhaust. I deleted the third brake light and added the Mustang third brake light as shown in this forum. If you love to drive and love a beautiful, fun and exciting car, that also gets great gas mileage when needed, the FRS is the way to go. Love my car and love this forum. Max
