When you're at the drift track and all the 240 guys offer to let you drive their car in exchange for driving theirs

LOL This is so true

You know you drive a frs/brz When you pull up to Valet park and the guy in the CLS AMG complments you on your car and the valet roll your car infront of the building. Talk about an ego boost lol

This one confuses me, with my mirrors adjusted properly there is no blind spot. And yes I've tested it several times. The peripheral visibility is awesome in this car.

Coming from a CRX, I'm as blind as a bat in this thing. It's not the lane immediately next to me that's a problem, it's the lane two over. I'm always straining to see if anyone is trying to merge into the same lane as I am. Oh, and I never feel fully comfortable backing up either... I was spoiled by being surrounded by glass on all sides.

Agreed. If you can see your own car in the mirrors you are doing it wrong.

Try turning your head and looking through that little triangle back window. I've only had the car for 2 days but that's what ive been doing when moving into the left lane.

You know you're getting an FR-S when everyone you know tells you how much they hate you when you show them a picture of it.

...when you yell at your friends for slamming the passenger side door. It's not a big heavy coupe dammit!
