I've fucked up just enough to know in life that if I don't gain knowledge now then I will regret in the future that I was a innocent ignorant. Doesn't hurt to know that the car is perfectly normal, I absolutely have nothing to know about this car. I bought it cause it looks nice, good on gas, 200hp and great handling. The issues I have absolutely no idea. Thank you guys for the help.
And yeah I have anxiety problems closest thing to a shrink to me would be to completely follow the Bible. Cause I admit this life is wacccccccccck. Time to loosen up cause nothings perfect not even the angels. lol speaking of Santa Barbara U2 was on my pandora and all I heard is Santa Barbara from their song california this morning lmfao I'm definitely going to play that song when I'm cruising down santa barbara |

OP, when you buy a car, don't 'gain' knowledge after you make your purchase. Yes, It is one hell of a sexy car and it is easy to succumb to, but let this be a lesson for you. When you buy anything that you want to put this much time to make sure it's perfect, do the research before hand. The automotive market is quite efficient and effective in this trait.
You're a nice guy, and I like how you want to make sure your car is perfect but it's a 2015 FRS, you have warranty. This doesn't mean you should WOT to red-line the moment you start it drifting out of your neighbourhood in style, but simply that if you are treating the car right, nothing out of the ordinary should occur. If it does occur, your warranty should cover it as it should be a manufacturer's defect. Take your time, enjoy the car, read the common problems here, and unless the you get a problem that isn't quite listed in the link above or after using the function. That should be your premise for creating a topic about problems.

Not sure that'd help much, but he's very welcome.

1) When reading about problems please do not head right back to your car and see if you can make something fit the symptoms. Far too many people read something here and figure they just must have the same issue. The number of posts that say some silly thing like "I have a weird sound under my car" and then 100 "me too" following it is staggering. Without much more detail saying you have "a noise" is meaningless 2) When people post with little or no data there will still be people that for good or bad will try to remote diagnose it. So you now have somebody say "I have a weird noise under my car", 100 guys say "me too" and some good Samaritan that says "Oh I had that and it was my flux capacitor. It isn't a big deal". With no more than the words "weird noise" they think they can tell what it is. Meanwhile you could be driving around with a wheel falling off or some other major issue that could kill you but dude on the forum said it was the flux capacitor and not a problem. 3) Now is where things start to get really confusing! So you have said "I have a weird noise", 100 guys have said "me too", random stranger says "it is your flux capacitor" and in jumps the flux capacitor "expert" that will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about them. The problem being this "expert" may be full of crap! They sound really good and can be very convincing but it is still crap. They may be followed by a bunch of guys spewing the same crap. Or they could be dead on correct and truly be the expert they seem to be. The problem is that if you are even asking the question you just may not know how to tell what is good vs bad info and advice. 4) OK so, "weird noise"' "me too", "flux capacitor", expert "advice" and now comes the part that sometimes muddies the waters so bad you no longer know what is true. One, two or sometimes several people will jump in with "no that's not right you are a fool" and dispute the first response. This will happen whether it was right or wrong info in the first place. There is a 120 post thread about "what the best air pressure in your tires should be" on here that is the perfect example of this scenario. By the time you get through it all you have no idea what you should actually do! So what can you do? Don't believe that you have an issue just because others did. If you do think you have a problem search for existing threads. If you do have a question, sit and think it through before you post it. There are guys here (including me as I am no angel) that will have loads of fun with foolish questions. If your question involves sounds or visuals (not sure what doesn't) prepare a sound clip, video or pics to give at least a little more data to go on. If you think you have found the info you are after check it against another source or PM somebody you trust from here to get their opinion. Wow that was longer then I intended!

Op..drive the car and enjoy it. You have a 3 year bumper to bumper warrantee. So if something really goes wrong, its covered at no cost to you. If you find the car is always in the shop, then just move on when the warrantee is up in 3 years and trade it in for something else.
