I disagree! Everyone who strays off topic must be banned!I don't mind if threads like this get hijacked. It's great to see the direction they can take and it's more like a real conversation that just travels along, touching on several subjects.
Ha ha!I disagree! Everyone who strays off topic must be banned!
I will soon have this forum all to myself!
Bwahahahahhaha!
Careful! We don't let facts get in the way of evil plots around here!Ha ha!
But aren't you the one started this contest thing that encouraged all kinds of posting?!!

Have you driven the FR/S or BRZ yet? There's not much room to get more power to the ground. Now if your into drifting or just want to go around your neighborhood sideways then they're a blast. My daughter is a sales(person) at a Toyota dealership and that dealer also owns the Subaru dealership. I had a weekend with a bright yellow FR/S, 1 of 1500 TRD special editions and it was fun but again, no way to get the power to the pavement. But in the interest of full disclosure, I have a 350Z putting 641hp (chassis dyno'd) to the ground so I'm spoiled.I rode my whole life. Started in a 1974 Yamaha 125 enduro. Moved up to a 2002 R6, 2005 GSXR750, 2009 R1, and now I have an XR650 dual sport. Was tired of the sport bikes and wanted something different. Rode that about a year and realized I'm tired of riding bikes altogether. Too many close calls and not enough thrill in it anymore to justify those close calls. I like sitting on my couch and doing nothing when I'm home. That and lots of sex with my wife. Thinking I'm going to buy a Scion FRS and build on it. See how much power I can squeeze into that little boxer 4.
Yeah, that release series 1.0 is HOT! Not a big fan of yellow though. You can slap a turbo on those FRS's and get more power can't you? I was also looking at that release series TC 9.0. The orange and black one. I had a 2012 TC and I put a turbo on it. Pretty bad ass. I'm thinking I'll put the same body kit they have on the release series 1.0 FRS with the lowering springs. New wheels, turbo, and drift away. At a track of course.Have you driven the FR/S or BRZ yet? There's not much room to get more power to the ground.

Now as for the motorcycle thing, as many here know my former life was that of a show truck driver for a custom motorcycle manufacturer. The day they closed the doors and I pulled up in front of my house I vowed to NEVER touch another motorcycle again. Well never was an awfully long time. Back in February I was offered a bike to go riding with my boss. We tore up the roads south of Dallas for an entire day and this time since it wasn't my job the be riding a bike I enjoyed it. Fast forward to my wife of 20 years leaving to "find herself" and an opportunity presented itself to own a one of a kind Willie G show bike and I now own said show bike. I love it and hate it. It's got a full on custom Screaming Eagle race engine with open primary and crap. Runs like a top fuel bike but is also quite a handful. Fuel mileage sucks considering a 1200 sporty with a little peanut tank can go further than I can but they can't do it blowing a crotch rocket off the road so trade-off's.

Yeah I'm looking at a 2015 FRS. Real low interest on the loan as an incentive to get rid of last years surplus since the '16's are out now. And I'm going to put half down cash. So it'll be a cheap note because they're only $26 grand out the door anyway.Oh yes, there's a ton of stuff you can do to those Subaru motors and get stupid power out of them. If I didn't already have my 350Z I would have bought that FR/S but I don't need two useless cars (however I'm looking at the new Stingray REALLY hard). The sales manager was trying like mad to get me to trade my Z on the FR/S but he's a car dealer and no matter how he spun the numbers he wasn't even paying for the motor in the Z let alone the whole car. A week later I rolled up on my Harley though and he offered to trade straight across but again, I would have been on the loosing end. They like me and don't like me at that dealership, I don't trade and pay cash so they can't make money off me on the back end of the deals.
