After 24 hours with them, I'm pretty happy. The drop looks good and the ride isn't too bad either.

Ran into a group of people running through the hills. A new Mustang (with ABS disabled) locked his wheels and ran straight off the road, which was predictable. And there was a Matrix XRS, which is officially the best car on Earth: 2ZZ-GE engine, 5 speed transmission, tall hatchback body, and a 120V power outlet in the dashboard. Faster than an FR-S. Why does anyone buy anything else?

Doesn't the xrs have a 6 speed? I'd love to hoon around in one of those.

I took my tc to Berkeley today and parked it in a parking garage. I came back and see that someone keyed me for no reason. What the fuck is wrong with people?

That's hella messed up , how close did you park to an elevator/stairs ?

Clipdat · 03-16-2015, 12:54 AM

I was about 3/4 of the way down the aisle in relation to the stairs. 4th floor of the garage. Didn't park over the lines on top of someone or rage at anyone on my way to my parking spot. Parked next to a Tesla Model S. Just seems completely random.

and that is why you can't take nice cars into populated areas like cities, shopping malls, Walmarts... for us the wife's tC is the designated beater we just stopped caring what happens to it.

Clipdat · 03-16-2015, 01:47 AM

Yeah could've been worse, could've been my FR-S.

Looks good. Now all you need is new wheels and you're done!

Yea, getting there. I've been flip-floping over wheels and can't decide what I want. As I keep telling people, I see wheels on other cars and think they look good but I can't picture them on mine.

86FRESH · 03-16-2015, 04:42 PM

No Bueno!

Clipdat · 03-16-2015, 10:45 PM

Oh! That's easy, just post up some pics of the wheels you're trying to decide between and I will tell you which ones you should get!

I have a $50 gift card (good anywhere). Been holding onto it since I don't know what to spend it on. Trying to get suggestions, what do you guys think (doesn't have to be FR-S related)? I don't mind spending some out of pocket money as well.
