First 86 stupid things you've done with/to your FR-S
1. Brett - Lost a key fob! It's in this damn house somewhere...
2. mattles - Well I nearly backed into a dog since I couldnt see the damn thing and for some reason it was being let run free, no leash, outside of my garage in my complex. 3. mattles - I powerslide from the second to the third floor of the parking structure at work every day when I get in before everyone else. 4. Brett - Disabled my trunk release, then couldn't figure out why the trunk release didn't work anymore. 5. Dadhawk - couldn't find the trunk key hole 6. AustinTCL - I've tapped off the rev limiter a few times, and hit over 120mph already, and my car has ~300miles, not "broke-in" according to some ppl. 7. Moto-P - At the Press Lead event, I had driven mix and match of different colors and transmission FRS on the raceway. And on my 3rd ride in an AT paddle car, I stomped on the phantom clutch pedal. 8. Moto-P - Being the former Drift Day instructor, who taught Ken Gushi many years ago, I made fun of Ken as he spun out twice on the very wet skidpad in the FRS. And10 minutes after this, I spun it on the same spot in front of Mr.Tada. 9. Moto-P - I took delivery of my own FRS, thinking I knew it all from my Press Lead 3 days, then driving off, feeling like a freaking idiot when I couldn't sync my BT to my phone till I got home and read the instructions in the manual... 10. Pekingduck - Forgetting the car is lowered... sigh.... 11. Brett - Killed it at least once every day so far. 7 days and counting! Need more practice! 12. mechaghost - Having my front lip peck a curb 13. Juanito08 - Not knowing how to move the seat forward to get into the back seat =\ 14. Brett - Forgot to put on the parking break at the grocery store. Luckily I had it in gear, and the lot was pretty flat. It did not roll away thankfully! 15. M&M_Hwy9 - Second day with our new car and I got my first speeding ticket (44 in a 30 zone). Missy took away my key and I am grounded. 16. russv - I find it's rather effortless to cruise at 85 without knowing it. 17. Brett - I forgot I was driving a stick (this is my first manual car), and I came to a complete stop in 6th. Twice. 18. kayhettin - this sunday in my first 86, i ran over a decaying deer in road, i broke my skidpad, and have deer flesh on the bottom of my under carriage and exhaust. now everytime i drive, I smell the flesh burning and rotting. its absolutely horrid. 19. Linseal - Wiped bird poop off my car instead of spraying it off. Bird ate a little rock, ended up scratching the car pretty bad 20. Enigmus - I spend a lot of time reversing from my driveway and work so I got into the habit of playing with the reverse. Several times already I've accidentally put the car in reverse at stop lights with cars behind me. I haven't hit anyone but it's just embarrassing wondering what the car behind me is thinking about the crazy idiot in front of him putting the car into reverse. 21. V1B - Lusky me have car for 4 days and look its after midnight and i am fixing flat with the repair kit wth lol where did i get the damn screw in my tire. Oh well lets hope it holds up. 22. Hit a tire tread from a truck that was laying across the interstate. All of the plastic clips on the front bumper disappeared, one of the tabs for said clips broke off, and the paint is crinkled in a few places. 23. 24. 25.

This isn't just a "where did I put that damn thing lost" either. I've been searching for an hour and a half. I've even resorted to digging through the outside trash in case it got dropped in there when I was cleaning out the other car after I got home. This sucks!

Stupid things Ive done... hmm.
Well I nearly backed into a dog since I couldnt see the damn thing and for some reason it was being let run free, no leash, outside of my garage in my complex. And I powerslide from the second to the third floor of the parking structure at work every day when I get in before everyone else. Thats about it so far. |

Of course it will be in the last place I look. Once I look there, I'll stop looking!

I pushed the little button in in the trunk, and when it didn't seem to do anything, I totally forgot about it. Later, I realized that my trunk wouldn't open from the fob or the button in the car. When the Scion regional manager stopped by to drop some stuff off (she's my neighbor), I complained that the damn thing was broken! Turns out that little button that I'd forgotten about disables the trunk release in the car and on the fob. Didn't realize until she emailed me and told me to go press the button in the trunk. Today has been a stupid day.

We opened the trunk, turned off the lock and all was good. Took probably 10 minutes. |

I found it after a couple hours of looking. Unfortunately it wasn't in the trash that I thoroughly disected. No fun. Now to find the valet key.

I've tapped off the rev limiter a few times, and hit over 120mph already, and my car has ~300miles, not "broke-in" according to some ppl.
