haha yes. A number of guys with the homelink mirrors have had issues. I guess when they installed the homelink mirrors they used short self tapping screws and a thin aluminum blank so the thread engagement was really short. add some vibration from, you know, driving a car, and it will eventually come undone and try to take a nap on your dash

if your car gets 10x more likes than you on facebook, you might drive a twin.

This one is hilarious to me. I actually do want to lose about 20#. I made a deal with myself. I can't buy any parts specifically for reducing weight from the car unless I've already lost the equivalent amount of body weight. Guess that lightweight battery's gonna have to be wait a while.... ;-)

If you roll your eyes as another Mustang peels out next to you, you might own an 86.

If you look back at your car every time you walk away from it, you might be an FRS/BRZ owner.

If guys 18 to 80 have waited for you to come out to your car to tell you it's beautiful and ask about it, you might drive an FR-S.
If you frequently step out your front door and stop in your tracks because the light is hitting your car just right and you simply have to admire it for a minute, you might drive a twin.
If more than once you have come out of a store and found a couple of guys admiring your car from a couple of feet back with their hands in their pockets so the owner of the gorgeous car doesn't mistakenly think they're messing with it, you might drive a twin.
If you routinely walk around your car before getting in even though the driver's side is right in front of you, you might own a twin.
If your car is an automatic but you usually drive it like a manual because even the stock engine sounds so good with the rpm's up, you might drive a twin.

If you are turning off Basilone onto Vangergrift and a Cammaro blows by you only to get pulled over right before the 45mph speed limit sign, you might be an FR-S owner.

(Directed at those obviously on Pendleton) Had some cool guy in a New Cammaro do that to me yesterday....um speed limit is 35 there retard.
