My kid will be racing shifter carts at 6/7.... Let alone be able to use a clutch.
What makes me sad is I'm 26, and come from this whiny demographic. I agree with the old man logic though... Just how I was raised. There's an "oh-shit" toolbox in my 3,000mile FRS already, hahahahaha.
I grew up on all aircooleds and Datsun S30's... Hell, I didn't have a/c or automatic windows until my first vw. Honestly, I got rid of my dsg 2008 R32 for the FRS, and the reason I got the FRS was because it was bare. I just wish it had manual windows, lol. I spent so much money on wheels, performance parts, sets of coilovers and air-ride on a car that didn't make me happy. The wonder about the FRS is how fun it is right out of the box. Will I mod it? Sure, but for what I paid for the car, it's so much like an s30 that I'm content. No opticoat, no whining about thin paint, blah blah blah. It's not a Porsche, and I don't expect it to be held to that standard.
Hpfp chirp? Welcome to direct injection people. Taillight condensation? Seal your taillights. Rock chips? Bring it on. It's character.
I bought the car for the fun factor and simplicity. No fancy engine covers or special tools needed. Just you, the car, basic comforts, and that's it. You think these people complain, look at a non-aircooled vw forum. -____-
