Hey make lemonade out of lemons. There is an episode on Mythbusters where they put thousands of pounds of clay worth a lot of money onto a car and made dimples like that to test if a dimpled surface like a golf ball on a car would result in better gas mileage and speed.


AND IT DID get better mileage and speed. So you got the same thing for FREE.

 

Yeah, that plus I turn 50 next year. Nuff said?

I offered them $24,700 for the FR-S and they said they don't negotiate on Scions. Where's the fun in that? Screw 'em! I'm gonna go buy a Civic Si tonight. Probably should've stuck with Honda all along.

 

FRSs and BRZs are high-demand items for now. They mostly come in pre-ordered already. So there goes your negotiating leverage...

 

yep they said no negotiating on the price, and no test drives off the lot either, like the WRX

 

sorry to hear about your Fit but f*ck the civic... proceed with your FRS plan!!!

 

They had 4 of them on the lot, and I've only ever seen 1 on the streets, so I don't think demand if the issue here. Apparently this is a company-wide policy.

Oh well, the Si is a hell of a lot nicer on the inside. If only they weren't so stodgy looking. For Chrissakes, my 17 y/o daughter drives a Civic.

I've never paid sticker for a car in my life, and I'm damned sure not starting today.

 

Just get the Si...FRS is nice and all buuut the Si has alot more interior room and is more usable.

 

Thanks Honey, glad to see you joined the forums here. Now get back in the kitchen and fix me a sammich! ��

 

sorry to see and hear. GL with your new car.

 

I've heard that if the surface of a car had dimples all over it like a golf ball, it would have less wind resistance.
I would take the ball peen hammer to it and see!

 

lol I got a sammich for you

 

Test drove a 2013 Civic Si tonight. ZZZzzzzzz.... Total snoozefest. Nothing wrong with it, but it's just another soulless grocery getter. It felt dead, even compared to my Fit. Which is precisely how I ended up with a Fit in the first place. Went to buy a Civic, but test drove a Fit first out of curiosity. The rest is history.

I don't know what I'm going to do now. I could afford the FR-S, but won't buy it now just on principle.

 

...well you wouldnt be the first guy to get a second, third, or even fourth fit on here :P

 

See post # 21

 

So your post was just to say... you said it first? (in this thread anyway)



And yes, my post was just to say this pointless crap too.

edit: I stand corrected... did not say it first... just said it before the other guy. (damn, I wish there was a strike through font option... makes the edit easier).

 

lol see post #14!

 

get a used miata and use the money you save over the FRS to mod it out....Problem solved.

 

just fuck it and get the first gen gensis cheaper and faster than a frs and the civic

 

Update-

They totaled the Fit and gave me $14,355 for it. I only paid $16,750 for it brand new in 2009, so needless to say I'm quite happy.

The salvage value on it was $5769, so I bought it back and sold it to my friend for his daughter for that amount. They are coming to pick it up tomorrow night. Meanwhile, I went ahead and bent over and paid sticker for the FR-S, $25,704. No regrets so far. I'm having a ball driving it!

They don't want my PRM Racing CAI, so I'll sell it here. Anyone interested? PM me. I'll sell it for $150 plus shipping from 73003. I think I even still have the original box somewhere...
