You know you drive an FR-S

The old thread has gotten massive. So, here's a new one.

You know you drive an FR-S when the pizza delivery guy gets you to give him a 30 min tour and says he likes it better than his Honda Civic SI.

you know you drive an FRS when you want to mod the HID, side vents, seats, nav, and HVAC buttons to be like the BRZ.

Exactly... Only reason to change an FR-S is because the GT86 is not available. Fix reinstated.

If anyone actually wanted the BRZ, they would've bought it, like you. Its available everywhere. Or suppose to be!

you know you drive an frs when: you slide out the rear 80% of the time your making a turn.

-The first thing you do is put it in sport mode before driving it

Please don't try to make people feel bad about not buying a BRZ. If we wanted it in the first place we would've bought it, hardly a difference in price.

I really wish we could just press it without all the holding to go into completely off traction-mode.

You know you drive an 86/FRS/GT86 when you tell the dentist you own one and he makes the next patient wait while he scoots out the back to take a look. And then tells you his beemer 5 series looks like a boat in comparision
