Actually I just photoshopped it out.

I still have "Subaru" badge on the front, but back, all the emblems are gone. BUT hopefully I can get that off plus airbag section emblem out... someday

I don't care if it's Subaru, Scion or Toyota. I don't care this car was named or which brand it was coming out of. All I wanted was Boxer engine, FR coupe. This is why I never got all these member going crazy over Toyota this, Scion that, Subaru this.

Car is furthest from a DD. I may get between 100-200 miles a month on it.

I miss Trom!

I miss him also. Guy wasn't afraid to tell it how it is. Bet he is still lurking around.

everyday to/from work. on most weekends though it just sits in the garage to save some miles and we just take the ct200 instead

Daily Driver
and
Not the daily driver

MrDinkleman · 03-10-2016, 08:11 PM

Yeah, I dd my FRS.

Looking forward to retirement (hopefully in a few months) then it (and all my cars) will just be pleasure drivers!!

akiranakayama · 03-10-2016, 08:59 PM

Mine is a stock-ish daily driver. No boost. Nothing fancy. Been stock since I bought it. Changed out a few things like side markers and turn signals. In the future I'll MAYBE do tail lights, wheels, oil cooler, and suspension. But even that is a big fat MAYBE.

Already have a heavily modified fun car --- in other words, I don't need another headache!

Yep, it's a DD, but I'll probably add a few tweaks to it to increase the cornering a bit. But I don’t plan to go overboard – I want to keep it fun to drive on the street.

He called somebody a "fucking idiot" once too often and that was that. They were by the way.

Some people think statues are full of life and all they do is sit there and look pretty, so from that perspective I could see how someone would think the ZN6 has any.

It's a $25k car that offers lackluster performance, it's shit in traffic, and uncomfortable running errands in. The clutch engagement is annoying, needing to use the gas to get up a hill that an obese person could ascend without feeling winded is ridiculous, the cruise control can't hold it's speed on anything other than completely flat ground, brake feel akin to asking your s/o what they want to eat for dinner, and the gas pedal makes the car a complete starfish.

TL;DR The clutch pedal isn't good, the brake pedal isn't good, the gas pedal isn't good.

On a race track where you're engaging all those things a bit more actively that all disappears; you're fast on the clutch, you're hard on the pedal, and you're foot down on the gas at very very high RPMs.

Below 8/10ths this car is completely dead and useless.
