Have been looking at the FRS now may also get an IQ! :)

So I have been obsessing over the 86/brz for a while now, and before that its been some other car. I am always spouting off random car facts to my fiance everyday and she could care less but always entertains the conversations. Funny thing is She doesnt even drive. Yes thats right she is 29 and does not drive. A combination of a fear due to both of her brothers dying in separate car accidents and her always living in the city and not needing to learn how to drive has gotten her to this point without having to drive. The cool thing is that she just started learning how to drive not to long ago and has been doing amazing. In fact she is quite good! But she never really has had a passion for driving or cars in general......UNTIL she saw the Scion iQ, and not just any scion iq but this one......





:happy0180: So needless to say I couldnt be more proud and im very excited to possibly not just have but one future RACEcar in the garage but two!!!! So Im going for a whiteout frs and a white IQ both tracked out I am so excited for the future!!!!!!! Going from never wanting to drive and fearing driving to wanting a car and actually being excited about a specific car is like a dream come true for this guy!!!!!!!

the point is....i dont care what care she wants just the fact she wants A car and wants to drive is what is amazing. i just appreciate the fact she found something she likes and wants to drive in. Now she is asking me about advanced drivers classes and racing classes so its just cool to see the passion in someone that literally feared driving!

That's good though. If it'll get her to drive, then who cares what car it is, as long as she's happy. :happy0180:

If it wasnt for the shitty tranny I would buy this for my lady. This is a great little grocery getter and would be fun to modify.

Oh, wait.

The rear wing is proportional to the front lip. They are providing additional downforce to the entire car.
