Interesting features on the FR-S...

[Midtenn]

Aluminum hoods and trunks are nothing special these days. Miata's have used aluminum hoods since 89. My 97 F150 also has one.

The trunk is steel. I had to drill mine to install my spoiler and used a magnet to get all of the shavings out... Would not have worked with aluminum...

I hear that, while driving, if you turn the steering wheel and mash the buttons in the following manner, Chuck Norris shows up and roundhouse kicks your car to 300 mph:



B = Brake
A = Accelerator

How you steer up and down is the only thing I havent figured out yet.

I wonder if anybody else besides my loser self will get that

Had to something similar on my Vizio TV this weekend to reset the Netflix App. It was:

You might check your history, Canada defeated the U.S. in war.

But we did defeat Virginia.

I found an interesting one the other day. I was pulling into the driveway and decided to pop the trunk before I came to a stop, didn't let me do it. As soon as I stopped I pushed the button on the dash again and it finally opened. I think I was maybe doing 7-8 MPH.

I learned a feature too, because the suspension is entirely steel and cast iron it bends for awesome camber angles for parking.

If it were aluminum I could not get stanced like this.

LOL Canada an error? Gee golly whiz economy here is pretty damn good, in fact never saw a slow down..who is making mistakes now??.. Jokes aside though...


Things about "Canada" are not taught in US history classes in either junior/high or even post secondary unless you determine yourself to, so I would not blame a US resident for knowing nothing of their northern Neighbor to be honest. Many Americans I have met have no clue of the geography or history in Canada, zip really... In Canada however we did learn all the US history on top of our own and most all of other countries "highlights" if you will..
