You're going to need some winter tires for next winter. It's not too early to ponder your choices and plan your budget for that. It's not cheap.
Note, btw, whether your FR-S is supplied with the all-season tires or the summer only "3-season" tires. That may affect your decision. For heavens sake, do not invest in go-fast hardware, and then try to run this car in the snow on summer tires because you spent all your money. You could lose your car and your life. We wouldn't like that, would we? Worst case scenario, you kill someone else. Not a good way to start your young life. |

I plan on picking up some tools... Mother and I own a screwdriver and hammer... Ha... That's about it lmao
@LadyFRZ thanks! Sometime in March! I'll get more excited about it once I speak to my salesman again and straighten a lot of things out. And of course once I fully inspect her and get her home safe and sound. Than Yea, I'll proceed to bug out like some adhd child in a toy store. Haha |

O trust me, if there's one thing I won't mess around with its tires.
I almost lost it on a friend who was driving in the SNOW with their stock prius tires, and was wondering why they almost crashed O_O....he didn't know very much about his car... Last edited by IntotheOcean; 02-16-2014 at 12:20 AM. |

Ahh... You're still awake. Good. Now, aren't you glad I "made" you do this, Ashley? This is useful stuff you're learning here from us. Stuff you NEED to know. Don't you agree? Imagine doing this business WITHOUT THIS KNOWLEDGE. When you're done with your experience, your friends will want you to go along with them when they buy a car. |

I've seen so many posts on here about accidents in snow wearing the prius tires... Also,apparently there's a pizza that changes flavor to dessert while you're eating it.Would love to try it one day. Willy Wonka,anyone? |

Why do you think I "forced" you? I'm old, I tell you, and I know things about Life and People. And sometimes you youngsters need a healthy shove in the right direction despite your resistance. You're going to go in there feeling CONFIDENT. You'll know what you need to know, and you'll KNOW that you KNOW it. It's going to be a good experience, and ABOVE ALL, you will know that you're taking home a brand new sportscar that you feel confident in, not worried about. Ashley, are you beginning to feel a little more confident in me and my "motives?" I am what I appear to be, a straight shooter; I enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience with deserving folks. And that's you and any number of others here who might read this and benefit. Well, I hope you're feeling more comfortable. |

Chemistry and food is so awesome, liquid nitrogen making ice cream out of whatever you want in about 45 seconds. Dangerous,but awesome. Also, found a used 10 series FRS for $24k. I wanted to jump on it like white on rice but then I remembered I'm still going to university, haha. Gonna be so jealous when I see your monogram pics, but at the same time, enjoy that ride.You deserve it. |
