Should've mentioned how you could take turns at speeds that'd have a lot of cars (especially a minivan) flipped over in a heartbeat.


P.S. I guess a 6 cylinder minivan can be faster in the sense it'd eventually catch up and keep on going (provided it's going in a straight line and is empty) though I've never seen a self respecting FR-s owner trail one.

"Are you gay?" - wtf?

"Nice car, how fast is it?" Fast.

"What have you done to it?" Just an exhaust... hehe

"Is it fast?" - No.

"Cool car, bro." - Thanks *usually a conversation begins*

*Vicious glares from riced cars or trucks* - chuckle

At a stoplight today a Camry owner complimented the car and remarked how much he liked it. I told him it's a great car, reliable, typically not pricey (special additions cost a little more), you're not going to be winning any drag races with Mustangs but then again they're only good for going in straight lines and the twins excel in handling! Right before that we had a white FR-S checking out ours and really liking the 10's OEM HID headlights.


Between that and paying only $50 at a Toyota dealership (I know went the lazy route and should've done it myself) for a full synthetic oil change that took less than 30 minutes talk about a great day!
