Been daily driving to work and back for 7 months, did not crash. Way more fun to drive the car than to look at it sitting in the garage in racecar mode.

First post
I saw this thread before purchasing my black 2016 Scion FR-S and lol’d so hard.

Well, I’m here today on day 2 of ownership to say I drove it to/from work and did not crash! I got cut off 4 times today and each one just as exhilarating as the last interaction.

I see why y’all have loud exhausts. I was trying to keep this quiet as it’s my daily, but time to make it louder without crashing. ��

Had a flat tire on the way to work today. Pulled into a parking lot, changed the tire, went on my way.

Did not crash.
