FR-S is Cursed in America.

[Propaganda]

Had my car for a week and was almost in 3 accidents, 2 of the near misses being yesterday. All would not have been my fault.

1st) I was going 45mph down a road and someone decided to pull out of a side street about 4 car lengths in front me

2nd) I was in a parking lot in a line of 3 cars waiting to exit into traffic. Some guy that was in a buick parked to the right of me decided to start backing out. I was directly behind him. I laid on the horn and held it down, shouting (both of our windows were open). After about 5 seconds he realized that there was a car behind him (me), and stopped inches away. (i had no where to go to avoid him). Had he simply looked at any of his mirrors, or even better, turned to look where he was going, he would have seen me.

3rd) I was driving on a highway in the right center lane. A guy in an acura tl in the right lane decided to merge into my lane without looking. I had to slam on the brakes to avoid being side swiped.


People today.... jeeze.

I was just involved in a hit and run last Tuesday. A nice gentleman tried passing me on the shoulder of an onramp in his Nissan Frontier and side swiped the entire passanger side of my FR-S. He tried taking off but I was able to catch up and got his plate number. Car is in the body shop now. Still haven't heard from the police yet...

Damn dude, good luck with that. What the hell was he thinking smh!
Funny thing is that on on-ramps people always slow down for me so I can go first. Or if on the light stopped, they wait until I go first.

Makes me want to install a dash cam just so it records everything. Plates too when they try to run away XD

I was just making fun of ourselves. I do have the manual, and its not that bad. Slower than my S2k, but, I have the Ecutek tune sitting in my room waiting for my car to get back. That should cure any issues
