Funny FR-S Review

...and Dezoris has a DIY video on that as well. Just swap the fluids. Took me about 30mins, and has made a huge difference in my car.

Clean sand out of vagina, insert tampon, chill the fuck out. In that order. Good day sirs.

Think about the millions upon millions of people all over the world who are driving cars that are older than most of us on this forum, cars that are on the verge of breaking down, completely ghetto rigged just enough so that it gets them where they need to go and back. Think of all the people in east asia on their old ass beat up scooters scooting around. All these people who would be able to truly appreciate this creation, if only they could have one, that is apparently not good enough for you, as it is simply a "shit box".

Wow. You are welcome to your opinion of course. I guess "standards" don't mean much these days. It shows actually. Why even bring other countries/people into the conversation? I have helped more people in ways you will never know and I do appreciate what I have, thank you. Lol

Perspective. Which your initial post was greatly lacking in.

Thanks for the insults. Sorry I posted something I found funny. I'm done with this forum.

I didn't insult you, nor was I commenting on the video you posted. I gave you some perspective after you referred to a brand new car (that some people worked very hard to get, and is a quite an upgrade for some people) as a shitbox.

I stopped watching when he said Hyundai Melosetor and saying he wanted a "fun daily driver."

What a fucking moron.

Well,.......it didn't take much to make the cat loving, tree-huggin Oregoneon mad did it?

Like the Joker said: "Why So Serious?"..................

[Captain Insano]

If it is Dezoris, he is a forum member that I find to be pretty helpful and has contributed lots of good info to the community.

I don't agree with everything he is saying in vid, but there are some humorous true parts. And have a little empathy. If your car was down for what the dealer estimates could be a month or more without a definitive diagnosis/root cause (he made it sound like they gave him some very vague info) I would be pretty pissed off too.

Nobody is mad. Would prefer not to be bombarded by negativity though.

You don't like cats or trees? Cats are friends and trees help us breathe.

Have a good day all.

The reviewer in the video must be Bill Gates' illigetimate son or something. He has a new Prius, Veloster and an FR-S? I guess he can't do two things at once either as evidenced by him breaking the back end a little loose and not being able to talk at around 8:51. I think maybe he pooped his drawers at that point too.

Of course the very first line he spoke should have been another give-away. "The not real review of the FR-S".

The only thing funny was him, maybe, looking like a douche. He ain't no Larry The Cable Guy....

Every car has it's pros and cons. Every car under 30 grand is pretty much a shit box unless all you care for is high mpg and reliability like your civics and corollas. Everybody knew what this car can and can't do before purchasing.

I haven't had a single issue with the transmission and my car has seen single digit temperature. For every car that is having these problems, there's 20 of them that are not on this forum and not having these problems.

I love reading these threads. I too have trouble getting out of second gear when my FRS is cold. The tranny shifts fine after about 2 minutes running down the road. Other than that this car is flawless..fit,finish, everything else is fine and I am one of the first people to get one in my area (bought June first). I have owned many other cars/trucks and consider this a very minor issue.

I LOVE YOU GUYS!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (:

Kumbaya my friends!! Can't wait to break this transmission and post pics of the internals!
