FR-S in heavy syrup - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

This morning (10 degrees) my car felt like the drivetrain was coated in molasses. It just reminded me how much ordinary cars with their over-boosted steering, slushboxes and mushy suspensions prevent the driver from knowing what is going on with the car.

Another fun day with the FR-S.

Hehe yeah. I had to drive for about 15 minutes after a 10 minute warmup until the MPG was showing normal numbers.

My car said 0 degrees on the way to work this morning. Took about 20 minutes to come up to temperature and longer still before it was warm inside. Tonight' low says -6 even colder. The car was pretty stiff, but not as bad as my truck in temps like this.

Yep, all my pedals felt like I was swimming in honey.
