Lately i've run into a lot of bro trucks wanting to race or come zooming up behind me like they're trying to prove how bro their trucks are.
So the 1st time, i was cruising home kind of spirited on city streets, and i see some bright asshole blue headlights from a bro'd out nissan titan coming up fast. I see him slowing down next to my car, I put my fr-s in sport mode and as soon as he's even with me he floors it, so I follow suit. Lo and behold, the bro'd out titan with custom exhaust and official HOONIGAN stickers can't keep up with the whittle 200hp fr-s.... ![]() ![]() I was laughing my ass off. Honestly didn't think my fr-s would fend off a titan, but I suppose the gearing sucks and its twice the weight of the toyobaru. 2nd time I was commuting home, and was in the right lane approaching my exit when I see an off road Tundra try and haul ass around me and beat me to the same exit... I will not stand for such an insult to my honor, so I gunned it and so did they, and same result, couldnt pull on me, and I wins.. I can't speak for other tuned/chipped trucks, and I wouldn't dare try it against a turbodiesel, but it's pretty fun when theres a big loud "bully" of a truck straining to keep up with our little cars. I bashed the fr-s on its power for a while, but turns out my foot wasn't heavy enough, lol. |

Not really a "race me bro" story, but today i had a guy in a fiat 500 abarth continually revving his engine behind me today in a parking garage. Not really sure what he wanted. I saw/heard him revving directly behind me and was like ok what do you want me to do?

I can understand outsiders not getting used to driving in the rain but people who live here for years still can't friggin' drive when it's wet. Can't tell if being serious or shots fired. |

Nah I have no idea of the reliability of the new Fiats. My little joke was based on historic data only. The old guys will get it.

Since having my FR-S, I've gotten more attention than I ever had in my TL-TYPE S or G35 coupe.
Mostly, from CIVICs/Accords/and occasional TC's/Xb's drivers. More recently though, both a Cayman and Z4 launched off the light in a 3 lane road....I was in the middle and obviously didn't even try to keep up. Had a guy in a STI rev his engine right off my side, while mad dogging...I was like DaFuq?! |

Whenever I have passengers over 200lbs each, I cannot even bother thinking of keeping up with traffic light lead-footers. The first time, my passenger had a bad leg so when she dropped into the seat, I could literally see the FR-S lower a millimeter or two; then bounce back up. She coincidentally lost at least 15 pounds while we were friends.
A few nights ago, I had two heavyweights in my car for the first time. Both girls were on the passenger side. I usually have my seat always in one setting but I almost had to check because I honestly felt I was half a centimeter taller! I was about to offer to do some donuts in the parking lot that night but thought the better of it. Later in the night, I swear, one time going up that hill in 6th was fine. That night, it barely made it as some guy behind me wanted to race. I'm not sure though. It will soon be time for a turbo to avoid sluggish real world acceleration. I inquired about an RC-F today and figure 450 pounds of passenger in a 4000lb car might not have as much of an effect as a 2700lb car
