Sh*t 86 Owners Say - Page 15 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

"How can I get free parts/sponsorships?" That one bothers the hell out of me, mostly because they're all my age and still don't know how the world works.

In any thread where they're selling the whole car, "Are you willing to part out?"

"This car SUCKS in snow!" Did you buy snow tires? "No...?"

Any variation of "this car is slow"

This has really bothered me for a while now. I have posted the following in several of those threads.

If you expect to drive on ice a lot, get studded winter tires. Otherwise, studless are better.

I have no sympathy and no respect for anyone driving on winter roads with inferior tires.

This is my GT86 with Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 215/55R16 studless tires.

These are what I can think of right now:

I got a BRZ cause I like the frontend more. FR-S front look uglyz!

Manual is da best!!! Automatics suckkkkk!!!! I don't care if your left leg is missing, you still should get manual for this car!!!

Hey! Automatic can "manually" shift too!

These cars should ONLY come in manual. What the freak was Toyota/Subaru thinking?! So people who don't desire manual can enjoy this car too? PSHHH!

My mommy said I can't have a manual. So my daddy bought me the automatic! I wanted manual!!! My parents ruined my life for buying me an auto!

True story - When teaching my ex how to drive stick, we had a sloped driveway. She would put it to the far left, and then in to reverse, and still roll forward. Her exact words, "I'm in reverse, why is it still going forward?" with her foot all the way in on the clutch. It took her a while to grasp the concept that the clutch disengages the syncrho, thus eliminating any kind of forward\backward motion.

As opposed to a false story?

"Should I get the extended warranty? I mean I hear of all these problems with the twins. Squeaky peddels, insects infesting the engine bay, ball bearing filled blender for a gear box, and weird noises coming from every far reach of the cabin. Should I be worried? What do you guys think?"
