Though I was to old for the FR-S. What's you age.... - Page 14 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Getting in and out of the FR-S is easier than my Genesis Coupe was or my wife's camaro is- I had to hold on to the A-pillar and swing in with the Gen. In my wife's camaro it's a real PITA because there's no headroom and I have a bad neck so usually I hit my head on the way in.

With the FR-S I just kind of go in bum first and slide in. Even though this is the lowest and smallest car I hve ever had, it's engineered so well that certain things like rear head room and ingress aren't as bad as they should be.

That can be fixed for $20. Just bought one of these for my father-in-law for his Accord. Actually works pretty well.

(No, not my father-in-law)

You bought him a middle aged, semi Asian woman holding a dildo? For $20? Link?

In original post. On Amazon, 2 day shipping with prime. 2 hour if you are in the "Prime Now" area. Didn't order because I couldn't find out if they provided sufficient holes in the box for air.

Ahhh with shipping, exchange, duties and tariffs probably cost $480 here anyway. I will shop local I guess.

I bought my 2016 rebadged GT86 1 week before running the SCCA Solo Bristol Match Tour in May. I traded my 2014 Camaro SS for it. I'll be 70 in August. This thing is a blast for me to drive. Much more room then the Camaro but lacking the 425HP...something to work on for future mods.

So just as the title says....How old are we?

Pics of your 210! I loved my hatchback.

24 here

i did see a nicely modified fr-s and when i rolled past it as it was waiting to make a right turn i saw a gentlemen that looked like he was in his mid to late 30's...and i thought to myself, "well that was unexpected...i thought it would be some dude in his twenties based on how the car looked modded"

but that is is to us car guys...to the normal people that don't know about our cars they might think it's an older dude in a sports car that costs over $75,000 like a porsche haha
