Wheel bearing keeps getting louder as you speed up.

That's the one! Thanks.

Same here, until I read that it doesn't have a center console armrest. I'm in sales, so I drive a lot for work. I might still go for a test drive, but I'm leaning towards a new GLI now.

Do you game on the go? If not, depending on your budget, a good option is to build your own gaming PC, and buy a cheap laptop for travel. Cost would be about the same as buying a gaming laptop.

There was a good side shot I saw recently, but haven't been able to refind. It had, from front to back, a miata, brz or frs, genesis coupe, mustang. The brz/frs is just a hair bigger than the miata.

Yeah it looks like he's parked at the edge of a not crowded lot.

My best fortune was "you deserve to have a good time after a long day's work." I trimmed the extra paper off of the fortune and taped it to the bottom of my grinder.

I played Asylum on 360 and tried City on my PC with a mouse and keyboard, but it felt strange, so I used my wired 360 controller.

Get some good bacon, and a portabella cap or two. Cook the bacon, then cook the shrooms in the grease. That's what converted me to liking nonmagic mushrooms.

This is probably the longest comment I have ever read in full. And I've been on reddit for awhile. Thanks for the info.

I've never driven an S2000, but I have a stock 99 miata. He's saying it's safe because it slow, and I'd agree. It's a ton of fun to drive, yet you don't have to go incredibly fast to push the car and have a good time. There's just a tiny bit of oversteer, but never so much that it feels dangerous or out of control.

I'm guessing with an S2000, you have to be going faster to feel like you're going fast.

Also, small agile cars are easy to maneuver in traffic. I actually feel safer driving a small car on the highway than I do driving a big sedan or even something like my Mom's CRV.

I'm not brave enough to put pictures of myself on Reddit. I just keep it short and not fro'y at all. Use a little American crew fiber cream, or natural grease if I haven't showered that day, and tussle the top a bit.

Pretty standard short cut and styling really.

Leuffen · 1 day

Exactly! I get it cut (recently just cut it myself) with a buzzer, usually a #5 on the sides and a #7 up top. At first, it looks too short, then a week later it looks good, and about 3 weeks after that it gets to the awkward poofy/wavy stage.

My hair's pretty similar, but brown. I had it long in high school, and reached fro proportions on occasion. Now I keep it shorter, and people don't even believe me when I say I have curly hair.

I'm not a fan. Looks like a cartoony camaro.

Rumor has it that the 2013 GLI will get a sliding armrest. Changes for the new model year should be officially announced in a month, maybe 2.

Do you work?

Addendum to this - if you buy a used car with tint, depending on your state inspection/inspection mechanic, you may have to have it checked by a cop.

My used impreza had 35% (legal limit in my state) on the sides and back. It was dark enough that my mechanic wouldn't sign off on it. I don't recall if there was a fee from the police or not to check it.

I've always had glass and friends who can roll well. I've been smoking regularly for close to 10 years now. I can roll if necessary, but I never volunteer. I've rolled, I think, 2 blunts, and maybe 5 joints.

I'm not hoping to get the new car in February or March next year, so I've got plenty of time, and will definitely be taking a BRZ or FRS for a test drive. This lack of a center console does seem worrisome though.

I currently have a miata and a 2 door impreza rs though, so the BRZ would be a great continuation of my car lineage.

marzolian · 5 days

I'm just not a fan of the hatchback look for myself. GLI is cheaper too.

marzolian · 6 days

Something that annoyed me more than I thought it would was no padded armrest on the center console - there are cup holders there instead, so your elbow is out in space.

That sucks. I'm contemplating a new car - I'm 24 and want something fun for a daily driver. Right now I'm thinking GLI. I'm not having kids any time soon, so I don't need four doors, but I do want something comfortable. I'm in sales, so I drive a lot for work, so I guess the FRS/BRZ is out of the question because of that.
