BTW great looking car! Very tasteful mods. Hope it's fixed soon.

The sad thing is I love my car so much that I was more worried about it than me because I initially felt good but now my back has a slight pain so to the doctor it is for me. Now I have a boring Chevy Cruze but it'll do until they fix my car.

This!

I think because my car looks a bit more aggressive than a regular one folks think I might be into street racing. I'm not into that crap and I generally drive around the speed limit that's why I never got a ticket since I started driving(18) and I'm now 32.

Agree have that checked out too as well.

Given the profile of our cars I had to drive a lot more defensive especially if drivers are very aggressive tailing you at the rear end best thing we can do is backing off.

That's a drag.. sorry it happened. I'm also very saddened to see an E36 in the hands of, and damaged by, an idiot. I would have been a much more deserving owner of that car. I loved mine, and wish I could have found another affordable one.

Well, since I got the FR-S, there isn't any place to hang my rifle, so, I settle to keep my ol .45 and a couple of extra clips of ammo, in that pouch behind the passenger seat.........

Back-in-the-day I used to keep a "corn knife" (looks sort of like a machete - for you non-old farm boys) in a sheath strapped to the back of the drivers seat. Yep, to the "hoods" that wanted to knife fight ...... I'd say (just like in the movie) "now, THIS is a knife" .......

It's pretty wild there in the West, isn't it. Reminds me of Russian dashcam videos, actually.


Here on the East Coast, news about road rage incidents contain weapon descriptions such as "she pulled out a bottle of Palmer’s coconut-scented baby oil and tossed oil on the woman, on her daughter and inside their car"

It is sort of funny that I have noticed the opposite since I got the car. I find that people tend to stay well back from me. My wife even commented on how far people stay away both (yes two) times she rode in it. These cars are very rare around here and the Scion badge is almost unknown so my theory is that most people think it is way more expensive than it is so stear clear. I rather enjoy it actually.

Ya, regional differences can be huge and it is sometimes hard to believe that other people's reality can be different.
There is nothing funnier than to watch 4 people come to a 4 way stop at the same time around here. It turns into an impasse where everybody sits there for 10 minutes while telling each other "no you go first". Now if I drive two hours north to Toronto I may as well be in LA and a few hours further to Montreal it could be European driving so have no delusion that all is great everywhere here. I am just lucky that locally things are better than average.
