Whole new level of respect for my FRS

Just got home from driving up and down GMR!!!! I could not believe how great the stock suspension was handling. I love my car. I gave my friend a 2 min head start up the hill and i cough up to him ripping around some sick turn less then half way up. Great night just wish i had a GoPro.

Took my FR-S up there the day after I got it, didn't push it hard cause its still new, but it handles awesome. GMR is LA's Akina.

I say when you break it in you should see how it really handles.

Never heard of Glendora Mountain Road until now!

I know what I am going to do sometime next week. Looks like a great place to snap some photos too.
