Haha, oh man, what has to be going through that guys head... I can just see it now, walking back to the dealership, dropping off the keys: "Thanks, left it at the corner of 83rd and Main. Gotta go!"

Send this photo to my wife immediately. You might just be my hero. Thanks!

Now I see why the BRZ went with more understeer in their suspension tune...

Doesn't make it any better, but at least it wouldn't have been a model sold later.

They're not having the media drive it around a circuit, but potential customers.
It will be a full production model.

Who let Crash Bandicoot in the drivers seat?

Anyway, now all I want to see is the aftermath.

Why do I feel like, in a few years time...
Cost to insure a Porsche 911 = MSRP of an FR-S

Please, please, please god, let this vehicle get a reputation as a "secretary's car", or let the lack of horsepower dissuade all the morons amongst us. I vow right here and now that when I get into discussions with others about cars, and they say, "200 hp? Man, that thing is too slow!" then I shall reply, "You're right... it is a slow car. Why did I ever buy one..."

I actually wonder if it's somebody from this forum who crashed it... Fess up!

Chenslee · 05-04-2012, 04:26 PM

The more kid seat pictures, the easier it is going to be to convince my "better" half that I can have this car.

The insurance rates are climbing as we speak!

Good to know. But wouldn't you just make your daughter sit behind the passenger seat instead?

I'll crash one for ya, just sent it on over.
I just have to warn you it may take me a while (3-4 years at least).

Both kids are mine. Wanted to make sure biggest fits (worst case scenario). She's almost in a booster which will make it a hell of a lot easier. Wife is shorter than me anyway.

That is pretty much the smallest profile/safest car seat you can buy. It also weighs more than the whole backseat. :P

Rear facing, no way unless you don't have a front passenger.
