What kind of driving do you use your FR-S For? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Ghost147 · 05-31-2014, 10:31 PM

Hey there guys and gals. I still have quite a few more months before I pick up my FR-S, but I'm curious as to know what you all use your FR-S for?

When I do get my change to buy it, my fiance and I will be using it for short and long distance trips. Can't wait to get it!

What about you?

I use it to drive to work once in a while and to the dealership. Occasionally I will take it out for a drive around the lakes here.

austin_kw · 05-31-2014, 10:35 PM

It's my daily driver so it sees a lot of miles. Still bring it to the track and shows on the weekends and whatnot.

I use mine for driving! Sometimes flying, but mostly driving...

I hotted it up with a mad bodykit with a black and orange theme, orange LED headlights, orange seats, dumped on bc super low extreme coils, then over rev it so everyone can hear and see me coming.

I don't know a thing about cars so when shit breaks I use the cheapest blingy looking ones and chuck them on myself, since I am only just affording repayments as I have a wedding, honeymoon and bills to pay for.

It will be my vehicle of choice when I'm flying solo or I have my daughter with me. I haven't had a car bought specifically for me since 2010. I've been driving a car purchased as the family transport vehicle since then. This one is selfish. And I intend on driving the hell out of it.

Did you research my life and just make it into a post? haha. That's almost exactly what I wanted to do with my FR-S, and I am also paying for my wedding and honeymoon myself.

It's my dd but I track it and take it on mountain passes. I only. Drift on occasions though. I'm an apex hunter at heart.

For 29 days a month it's my daily driver(pick up my kids from school, grocery shopping and work). 1-2 days a month it's my auto x and track day car !!

My kid is out of the house, my wife has her car, I have an SUV for adventure and hauling stuff. This is my part-time DD and weekend fun car.

Today I was out on some local twisty roads to go get lunch and leading a Cobra (replica I assume). . .

No, it's real and you drive like a granny.

It is my main mode of transportation to work.

Whether it was replica or not, I couldn't have stayed in front of him if he'd wanted to come by! There's a reason that design is timeless. Similar weight to an 86 and twice or more the power and twice the rubber, c'mon!

We had a few fun moments when there was clear road and I could punch it into/out of corners. I almost felt like I could keep up!

There was a local rally today in support of local Boys/Girls Clubs. He was part of it as was the F430 and several Porsche 356's I saw.

Thehermdawg · 06-01-2014, 01:07 AM

Mostly used as my DD. I do enjoy taking it up to the mountains when I have a chance and hopefully get a chance to autox it at some point in the near future.
