They are small and I have a feeling they will be easy to push out (because they were so easy to "push" in......

Oh yes, the strategy I use in shopping center parking lots is to find a big ugly pickup truck or the giant SUV full of kids car seats and park beside them. That way, you get to choose the distance between vehicles .... .

Thanks and congrats on the Hot Lava!

I was actually heading to the dealer looking for a Hot Lava I had seen a month before but it was long gone. Little did I expect to spot the 10 in a sea of silver toyotas/scions; it was meant to be.

Kinda disappointed I missed the big meet in AC this past Saturday, but I'm sure there will be more to come.

Hello. I've been wanting a fun car to drive for a long time. I bought my FR-S back in May and have no regrets!

So far I have done one Autocross and one track day. A ton of fun, but I have a long way to go with my skills. At the track, my instructor had never driven one before and he was impressed with the car. That felt good, especially since I was in the company of much more expensive cars.

Based on advice from the track day I recently bought better brake pads, steel braided brake lines and racing brake fluid. I have done a moderate amount of work on cars, but I am a little nervous about working on my new baby. Anybody have advice going into this brake job?

I live near Allentown, PA.
