But... if it was on my FR-S, I'd be mad as hell. Moon/sun roofs are literally the worst thing you can do for center of gravity. Glass is heavy, and so are the motors and tracks used to make the powered ones work. All that weight at the absolute highest point of the vehicle ruins it. I think there's an article or video online about the difference the moon roof delete made in an Evo. It was substantial. And considering our cars have an 18" high center of gravity, something you should all be bragging about to everyone you meet, a moon roof would be blasphemous.

Soooooo, I usually run my FRS pretty down on gas, and I've gotten it to the point where I have filled up 12.9 or so gallons of it's 13.2 gallon tank. That put the needle just barely obscuring the bottom of the E from the bottom of the gauge.
Today, one of my friends asked to lend the car to get some groceries, and I agreed, but warned him there wasn't much gas in it. The last I drove the car, it was at about the same (maybe a bit higher) point that I mentioned earlier. This particular friend is a bit of a hoon, so I found it very interesting that when he started the car, it apparently died after a few seconds. The last time I drove it, there was no bucking or sputtering, it seemed like I had at least half a gallon left. He came back to me and said there was no gas and I was in disbelief! I went to the car and tried starting it to no avail. I looked at the gas gauge and saw it in that same place just on the bottom of the E. I had had the car at lower fuel levels than this for sure, but for some reason it refused to start here. I told him he was SOL and to ask somebody else. After that, I thought about it... The one time that my friend who is known for driving recklessly asks to drive my car, it doesn't work. THE CAR KNOWS. She is consciously aware of who is in that driver's seat and when she saw that it was him, she refused to start. This has made me love my car even more. I'm gonna take her out to fill her up with that sweet premium nectar tomorrow and treat her like a queen. Maybe do a Two-Bucket wash and perhaps a wax too, because honestly she deserves it.  Either that or she has some sort of catastrophic engine failure...

I really hate people that speak before they think.
Why? Cause someone posted this.  And most of the flooded comments are kids saying its the car from Fast and Furious. Why would someone put a stupid giant wing on it? Just as bad as those who lower their cars to the ground. So this is where rice started?
