Finding Every Opportunity to Drive this Car - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Chad86 · 07-28-2014, 03:10 PM

Does anyone else find themselves always looking for excuses to drive their car or just going for random drives? The longer I own this car, the more it seems to happen. This car only seems to get better as time goes on.

It always seems I'm running low on something (gas included

)

I actually like going shopping with my wife now. It means I get to drive. I used to fucking loathe it for the past 4 years and would make her drive everywhere.

If i had a Daily that actually ran (current car has been sitting for the past 7 months)
i would actually enjoy driving the car, but since i daily the FRS and use it to commute to my place of business, 35-40 miles each way, i drive it strickly to work and back, trying to keep the miles low until i can get my Daily back up and going, which it has me stumped right now

other than that, i go to work, and drive it home, have had the car since October 2013 and put almost 15k miles on it

once i get the daily up and running, im sure i will love to drive it even more!

Well since mine is a daily driver and I drive to client locations during my work day...I don't need to find excuses to drive it

The car has been my daily driver for the past month. I still find reasons to drive it after I get back from work or on the weekends. Such a joy to drive. I've never had a car put such a smile on my face.

17,000 miles in six months. Yes, I like driving this car.

As a student, after studying i love taking the 86 for a spin (should try and keep the tires from spinning though, cops no likey) :p
It clears my mind, it doesn't have to be agressive driving, just the joy of driving this car with the window rolled down puts the smile back on my face

After putting 70K miles on in a two years I don't do much driving I don't have to, but I drive a lot.

Unless there is going to be at least 1 turn at 40+mph and very little traffic I won't take it out for no reason. Anymore that is. The first year of ownership definitely

Ubersuber · 07-28-2014, 09:11 PM

I have owned "better" cars. I have certainly driven "better" cars. But there is something about this car that beats anything on the road today, or perhaps even yesterday.

I defy anyone who loves driving to drive this car more than 100 ft without smiling at the car's personality. That's how I decided to buy mine, very, very early into my first and only test drive.

Even in the dead of winter, freezing f'ing cold with snow up to the doorhandles and the car sliding sideways at every touch of the gas pedal I'm still smiling. In fact, then I'm laughing at the car, it really isn't great at handling in the winter but the key thing is you don't care, you laugh and counter steer, or sometimes counter steer and laugh at the sheer fun of this thing.

Put another way, if this car does not make you smile every time you drive it and within a few hundred feet of setting off then give it up to someone else, it would be the right thing to do.
