Oh man, believe you me I want some RCE Yellows - I hate the hideous wheel gap. But even at stock height, I have to enter and exit my driveway at an angle or else I'll scrape!

Got to talking to the guy and he said he has a Lotus Elise! I encouraged him to go test drive a FRS or BRZ so he could see how special these cars are!

IMO, folks enjoy this car because it looks more than it costs. Everyone wants the Chanels but we will settle for Coach.

The bottom of my front bumper has ZERO white paint on it anywhere. I scrape erryday! I scrape the trans skid on speed bumps all the time.

I really need to go see the hornet some time. I keep meaning to and then forgetting it's there.

Simpleviet · 06-10-2013, 01:54 AM

Oh man you must take me there....

BlaineWasHere · 06-10-2013, 02:12 AM

I've been on it. It's pretty neat. Really good photo spots around there. That's where all of these are from:

Its an awesome ship. If you're interested in military stuff at all, you should try to drop by for a tour, lots of cool stuff inside: planes, choppers, even one of the space capsules (apollo?) they picked up from the sea.

@PMok and I are tying to figure out a good time to host a little 86DRIVE minimeet by that area, there's a nice huge parking lot by it, and, as you can see, makes for killer pics.

That sucks. I know people don't see me all the time when lane changing on the freeway.

Even with those obnoxiously loud orange wheels!? Lol.

But yeah I know people can't see me cause our cars are much lower than the average car. I drive with this very much in mind, and with the attitude that everyone is a drunk idiot out to get me. Unfortunately most people prove me right.

@ BigFatFlip

Definitely worth the trip to go. I never been there. Would be fun way to explore

Clipdat · 06-10-2013, 10:06 PM

Alright I am officially terrible at putting on vinyl stickers. I completely ruined my ft86club.com one because as I was positioning it a gust of wind came and blew it down prematurely in one spot and as I tried to lift it up, the letters were already stuck to the window. Guess I will be ordering another one of those.

Then I did the 86 drive sticker and slight ran out of room on the right side. Man I suck at this!

86 FRS · 06-11-2013, 12:21 AM

For some reason. Im kinda regretting getting frs over brz limited lol. Anyone else feels the same?
