Should Batty get a new home in the FR-S? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Nevermore · 07-25-2012, 12:10 AM

A friend of mine gave me a little beanie baby fruit bat for my 21st birthday (not entirely sure why) and when she first gave it to me she put it on my wrist, stipulating that I had to wear it around for my birthday. It has these velcro pads on it's wings that let it be wrapped around stuff. At the end of the day I took it off and strapped it to the rear view mirror in my car because there was really no where else for it to go. If I didn't do that it'd probably have been lost long ago. Now, I have no ulterior motives or ideas about this girl, so it's not like I'm concerned about pleasing or displeasing her, but I'm curious. When I get the FR-S I'm selling the Mazda and Batty has to come out.

I'm thinking the FR-S would be too "cool" to hang a beanie baby from the mirror but if he doesn't go there he gets lost. So what do you guys think? Does Batty get a new home or does he get the boot?

Here's a crappy picture of the bat in his home.

No, a man simply does not have dolls hanging around a car.

Unless you're female, no.
Or if you don't want to lose him, put him in the glove box haha

put him at the base of the shifter.
On the wind shield it will fade because the sun.

Or attach him to the pull downs in the trunk for the back seat. Bats like the dark after all. He doesn't belong in the cab though.

Haha, I anticipated this sort of response, tbh. The only reason he went up on the mazda was because I didn't think it mattered too much with that car, but with the FR-S I'd say he'd just be too out of place. I might take the advice and put him elsewhere in the car. If not, he'll go somewhere in my room.

If my friend complains I'll just show her the votes XD

It's a stuffed animal, unless this chick gives AMASSING head, I'd toss it.

Poll needs a "Yes, with conditions"

Attach him to the underside of the trunk hatch. That way he can hang around upside down in the dark, as a bat should.

Unfortunately it has to be a yes or no poll because there are no conditions I'm after from this girl. She's just a friend, and it'll stay that way. I'll look into finding him a nice spot in the trunk.

Sorry, that's not what I meant by "conditions" but I could see why you would go there.

I meant as in "Yes as long as it's out of sight in the trunk in the back hanging on to a seat strap for dear life and squished behind the NOX bottle". That type of thing.

Oh! My bad. It was what that one guy said that made me think otherwise haha

I can't change the poll now, but I am open to those suggestions. It sounds like he could easily go in the trunk but I'll listen to other ideas too.
