Driving off the cliff

The chirping makes me want to drive off a cliff sometimes, however I hope the newer models got rid of it...

What's another pet peeve about the twins?

Some of the owners!


There are many threads like this already.


There is a new pump issued that seems to work for many.

Nice picture ....... but, it don't look like Ohigho .......

Pet peeve ...... there are bug splatters on the front of my FR-S, from our last trip over the mountains to the buggy part of the state, ....... and I don't have the ambition to wash it ......

Find a wasp nest and park near it. They will have that mess cleaned up in no time. There is a whole crew of them that just wait at the cottage for me to pull in every Friday. Takes them about 15 minutes to get all but the worst spots.

i have a 2017 and it chirps like a mockingbird

edit: my only other pet peeve is how the car beeps continuously when you open the drivers door after engine shutdown, to remind me about my car key or something

another edit: this is a pretty on-topic conversation

Welp, not too long ago, those bug parts would be off my car by sundown ...... now, unless they are on the windshield ....... they can just age for a few more days. Ambition - very little; desire - somewhat; compulsion - none no more ....

New model? You need to buy a car from the 90's or older.

Yup, mine reminds me that my key is in my pocket. Always makes me think that I left it in ACC.

Are there any competitions for loudest crickets? Because every time I meet up with my 86 friends they say I have the loudest crickets out of everyone..

A pet peeve of mine used to be having to unlock the passenger door after unlocking my door via my hand coming in contact with the drivers side door handle. Then I found out that by holding lock and unlock buttons on key fob for a few seconds allows the passenger side as well.

Another pet peeve of mine is that the 86 is underpowered. Then I found out about FI.
