I kinda did blow away in the wind, actually. But only if the wind was coming from in front of or behind me. From the sides, it was like I wasn't there at all.
Funny you say that because I know what you mean. If the wind is strong enough and I jump up, I do actually get moved. Haha, I wonder if I'd make a good kite? But yeah, I'm really not THAT skinny for my height. I've known quite a few thinner.

Hey guys, instead of starting a new thread, I figured I'd just ask here in my old thread. This has confused me for a while now... When I was looking at some of the FR-S's on the lot, some of them had this red switch popped up on one side of the rear seats. Some where on the right side, some where on the left side, and some were down on both sides but none were up on both. I'm assuming this is the button to fold the rear seats but my question is, can someone explain why I am only seeing them up on one or the other side?

It's the lock on the folding seats. The red thing means that its not fully locked. Either someone didn't push that side in all the way or there is something in the way preventing it from locking fully.

Noticed this was an older thread but I'd thought id chime in anyway. I just picked up my frs 2 days ago and As a fellow tall driver i'm surprised at how much room I had in this thing. I'm 6'4" 210 lbs with an abnormally long torso. I fit in this car like a glove with ample head space as well.

I was 6'3" and 150 at 18 when I started college. Decided the emaciated look wasn't my thing and hit the gym and the cafeteria hard and gained 40 lbs in about 9 months. Best decision I ever made.

OK, so they normally should both be down? Do you just push them in further on either side to have it fold or what?

Well I hadn't weight myself in a while when making that statement last year but I'm actually at 165 now. Could be winter fat or more muscle, IDK.

---------------------

On a side note, I saw the red for the first time today. I was a little bit disappointed with it actually. It's not as deep as my Eclipse's red and seems kind of plain/cheap compared to the other paint schemes. But then again, the car was very dirty so maybe it wasn't a fair assessment.
