It's an object lesson in form over function
I was looking at one at the dealer. Not a fan. Lots of extra bucks for nothing. The FR-S, to me, is one of those cars they got right from the start. Perfection by subtraction. Adding shit back does not help.

I still shart at "dual zone climate control" in a car smaller than my shitter.

ETA: They know what they are doing. They know enough of these will sell to make it worth while. See this thread for useless crap that does nothing to make a better car.

Heh. I took shit for my mouth as a Marine too. Oddly enough, I was always correct in my assessment. Miss those days, very much.

I'm not going to actively search out the owner to let them know what I think. I will voice my opinion out loud while I'm looking at the car. If the owner hears me great, if not oh well.
Same goes for the forum, I'm not sending out PM's bashing owners telling them how stupid they are for putting on ridiculous body kits or riding on -10* camber, I just post my opinion. If the owner gets butthurt at my comment that's not my problem.

For some strange reason my mouth managed to get me made an officer and rapid promotions.
Maybe it was the easiest way they could deal with me?????

Would that be -360 or -180? (Oh wait, I think I'm missing the point)

I was once called a "dinosaur" by my SgtMaj. I can list some things that are up there on the cool-wall, but that, by far, was the proudest moment of my life. Old School, for the muther-fuckin'-win. Me! Not sure he thought that through.

You could have been a shit pump. Far too often I've seen incompetent people be promoted just so that they can't fuck up important stuff

I suppose sarcasm doesn't carry on the Internet.

Plus haven't you heard the expression "don't feed the troll"?

Edit: although I suppose the only things that you can easily identify with in regards to the military are "rah?" And "kill!"

Nah, Bergs OK really. He just must be off his meds lately.
About 90% of the time I had fix the stuff others (above me) fucked up so I know that wasn't the only reason (not gonna rule it out entirely though)!
At least I never once took my guys for a lost walk in the woods.
