Whats up everyone, figured i would chime in. Just found this forum the other day and there's a lot of good info and knowledge on here! I've seen a few other FR-S and BRZ owners out on the road and wouldn't mined meet a few of you.

Here's a pic of mine out on Ranch Road 336 north of Leaky. It's a whiteout with TSW rims.

Way to make our cars look like they are driven by a bunch of asshats with no regard to the safety of others. Note this wasn't alderaan34 as the guy had stock rims.

Oh snap, I have a hot lava with stock rims, but it wasn't me! Today on my way to work, I was on IH-10 heading toward the city around Camp Bullis when some idiot in a Lancer looked me right in the eye, and then cut over into my lane, forcing me to hit the brakes or else get shoved off into the median. UNbelievable...

Serious question. Would leaving your dome light on all night a few times hurt anything?

Other than possibly kill the battery or burn out the bulb, no.

After taking Defensive Driving for the 2nd time. I have no sympathy for the corolla driver. Why was she tailgating? Why was she not able to brake in time? Distracted driving at fault? People cut people off all the time in this city (not saying the FR-S driver is right) But if Everyone else is doing what they are SUPPOSE to be doing accidents like rear ending someone wouldn't happen. It's called situational awareness for a reason. If the Fusion driver saw the guy acting like an ass hat why didn't the corolla driver? Just saying.

You know.the drivers out here in dan antonio have made me hate this city. They are awful out here. But youre right the fr-s driver might have been driving like an ass but the other driver in the Corolla should have had enough space

Austin drivers suck too. We have soooo many transplants from not only around the country, but internationally too, and mixing all those different driving styles just makes for badness. Hell, I never know if the person cutting me off is about to slam their brakes or speed on ahead.

Completely draining a battery can damage its recharge ability. So its small posibility. You asked what could happen, those are the only things that could happen in my mind.

Us international transplants would drive better if everyone else wasn't driving on the wrong side of the road

As a transplant from a small midwest town, I found Austin driving pretty aggressive when I first moved here. Now I'm probably used to it, it doesn't seem to bother me anymore.
