What Are Your Pet Peeves of Daily Driving (Your FRS/86)?
I love this car and I love driving it everyday, but I've always got something to complain about. My morning commute is definitely not the a Sunday drive through the park to get to church. Nope, I've got anywhere from a 45-60 minute drive of 50/50 highway/city on the lovely, pot hole filled, road raging streets of Northern New Jersey. I see it all on this one commute, highway traffic, stop and go traffic, suburban, city, construction, school traffic, etc...
Here's just some of the things that bother me about daily driving (in my FRS). -People who are in to much of hurry and think their Chevy Suburban is a Miata weaving in and out of traffic. -Sudden no blinker lane changes -People who cruise below the speed limit on the left lane of the highway. -The person who beeps when the light changes green. -THOSE MASSIVE POT HOLES THAT ARE UNAVOIDABLE -When you hear real crickets and you think its your car. -That one road that is just a mine field of rocks and pot holes. -When the car behind you is on your bumper on that really steep hill. -The snapchatter/texter whose on their phone for 5 miles. -When you can't see over something because you are to low to the ground. -That one driveway you can't go up without scrapping something. These things bother me, but I rather be driving this car than anything else (I wish tanks were practical to DD). What do you guys/gals experience that bothers you while driving your 86/FRS or just driving in general? |

I've been hit with 2 separate pieces of road debris that damaged my car in the last couple weeks. So I'll add bits of exploded truck tires to the list of "mine field" stuff.
Also, since my daily "driving" is split between my motorcycle and my car, I also have to deal with people not seeing me and nearly merging into me almost every time I ride the bike lol. |

I drive through all sorts of weather 15 miles each way to my main job, and do pizza delivery for side cash 1 day a week. My only qualms are still other drivers and SUVs. I just have unmitigated rage towards the 2002 Lexus RX300 that I can't explain. Maybe it's the arrogant window tint on the rear glass?

I was going down the highway at about 70 and there was this old Neon that passed me and pulled into my lane with one car between us. It had Michigan plates and was falling apart. The driver mirror was dangling from some wires, the trunk lid was crumpled and held down by a coat hanger, one wheel had a visible wobble and all in all I was amazed it could still move that fast. A bit down the road we hit a bump between the pavement and the tail light assembly flew off the car, hit the road, bounced over the car in front of me and came straight down on my bumper. It all happened like slow motion but I was boxed in and could not avoid it. I chased the car and got up beside it to signal them to pull over but took one look at the size of the 4 guys crammed in it and figured I could live with the damage so just got way ahead of them so no further parts would hit me.
