I want to since I just purchased my FRS Thursday. My only issue is I don't know how to drive a stick. Yeah I said it Lol. But didn't want the car any other way.

I was the same way. Get ready for the most frustrating and hilarious 3-4 weeks of your driving life.

I don't really look for excuses to drive my car because I'm lazy like that, but if someone gives me an excuse to drive it I won't complain. My brother has been taking advantage of this lately by volunteering me to get things or drive people places. He usually says something like, "I figured you'd want to go since you like driving your car more than I like driving my truck." I'm not too willing to argue with that logic yet.

I have a 30,000 mile limit for the 3 year finance deal I normally only do 6k a year, but that wasn't a GT86!

Chad, my young little grasshopper. You've pulled a 180 on us all. Did you finally realize that this car was not meant to be sheltered in a garage 10 months of the year?

I carry a cooler and a tote in my trunk because I always offer to pick up lunch just to get out of the office for a nice short drive. The cooler is so that the smell doesn't stay in the car. The tote is so that lunch gets back in one piece.

Yes, after driving the 86 for a while now, I realized it is too much fun not to drive year round. My Celica is up for sale and I have no regrets!





Best Car Ever!
