I drifted the car on the test drive too.
I try and slip just a little everyday (not necessarily full opposite lock drift, but it is very addictive).
Traffic on the on and offramps is brutal especially when they are so slow (although I do forget that their COG's are probably about 6" - 8" higher than mine).

I had I let my friend drive and he offered not only his car but three other cars that belong to his friends.

You know you drive an FR-S when your 6'6" and everytime you get out of the car someone asks how you fit in the car.

(another one)

... When you know every forced induction option that is available or going to be available.

Amazing how there was no way to open my trunk. No buttons, no key, nothing.

Damn adventure.

Since then, I've put my snow brush infront of the button so nothing can roll into it.

Since it only happens when I deliver, and it's always the soda bottles that roll into the button, I've figured out how to prevent it from happening. so far.

Lmfao I'm 6'7" and I came to the FRS from an NC miata.

I haven't had any FRS height jokes but it was almost every day with the miata.

The Crickets become your driving companion and you see most rear license plates at a level eye sight.

When you drive the family on the weekend in the Prius and you see a fellow 86er and stare at the kids in the back seat and wish they had shorter legs!!

"When the kids at school don't bother to remember your name and only know you as ""That Chick with The FRS""

I asked my 17 year old daughter this today.
After 14 months of driving her FRS she still smiles backing out of the driveway.
