I also use a rabbit whose driving like a jackass; they can get pulled over while I laugh as I pass by.

On local streets however, car begs me to push it but I say nope, calm down. We will go have fun soon. Helps downshifts while coming to a stop with the exhaust I have is just so.... yummy.

I also came from a 120hp Corolla. I remember how shitty it was when it came to onramps, highway passes/lane changes, etc. The FRS feels like a supercar (at least how I imagine it) in comparison.
They are illegal here as well. In fact the fine is probably (to lazy to look it up) higher that the low level speeding tickets. The cops here even have radar detector, detector, detectors. Yep, they can tell you have a detector before your detector's detector detector can tell you they are detecting.
