After sliding around a couple wet corners I think she was starting to like the rain. Now I'm looking out my office window and she's jumping around in puddles.

Did not crash.

Now we just gotta get you out in the snow.

Lol, I knew I'd hear about it if I posted it, but I stand by it: when cruising in top gear on a two lane stretch that merges into a single lane on-ramp, this car will lose to the Sienna in a 35-80 run. The minivan downshifts faster and pulls just as hard, if not harder, than the FR-S does at those speeds. We both decided to make a run to be in front when the lanes merged, he gunned it and I dropped down into 3rd and flat out, but this car didn't have near the power to over-take him before running out of lane.

edit: But the key point remains... I did not crash.

Yeaaaahhhhh.... no. You're lighter, lower, better power to weight ratio and have less drag... I can see this being true if you're in an AT, but otherwise MT should not lose.

This needs its own thread now so we can discuss it for several thousand posts.

You know, I didn't buy this car to drag race it. I bought this car to enjoy every drive I take. And I do. The car is so we'll balanced. And the control is ridiculously accurate. I can recover from a slide whenever I want, and I can feel everything the car is doing. As far as I'm concerned it's the best car ever.

I almost got around him he clipped the far right side of my bumper, middle of the night I was going to lunch from work. Sadly when I came back down the same street I couldn't find him so you must have walked away... I think he drank too much pond water.

But I did get a whole new bumper.. Name: IMG_20170330_170740.jpg
