1) it's an FD

3) your not used to driving an FD

4) 30 days

LMAO this all equals some hilarity and disaster!!!! Please supply pics of said FD when you take posession and more pics of same FD at day 30.

not sure if i wanna place bet on the tree wrapage, popped keg, or him and brother-in-law in hospital from ass-kickin because the owner had no clue it was treated as a loaner.....

no offense but if the guy did not take care of the car and a over zealous younger driver gets a hold of the car it may not last long mechanically, especially when the OP had to specify the FD was turbo- how much better can he take care of the car?

When the "holy shit FD!!!11!one!!" feeling wears off you will realize why most people don't daily drive them. They are cramped and uncomfortable, gas is expensive, the inside is loud (the rattling is bad) and the interior is very brittle. The blower motor and windshield wipers are pathetic.

FD's are good at 3 things: going fast, taking turns, and looking good. Everything else sucks. Not to start a debate or anything, but while the FC is hardly a plush lexus it's definitely more livable than an FD.

LOL!!!!
That's exactly what I did this morning when I went to starbucks haha.

Yeah and this whole scenario is looking fairly grim for the poor fd.

Good luck!

I bet the guy that lent the car was thinking, "this FD is beat, maybe my friend can wreck it for me and I can pick up the insurance." Sounds like a bad month for the FD. We want pics and racing kills stories as soon as possible.

How does the owner not take care of? by not beating on it on the street or racing it? lol

You gotta put the drink in between your legs when you drive. cup holders ruin the sports car look imo, Only have whats necessary. Oh and you shouldn't be eating in there either. at least I don't

I don't eat in my car ether, I find it weird to see people eating in their car, I wait till I get home and I don't let other people eat in my car not even fries lol. And I tried between the legs but my crotch got cold lol I'm sticking to bottled drinks from now on.

so any updates on the wrecked fd, or maybe the fd is flooded and the OP is freaking out on why it won't start

overpaid4myfc 12-06-10 12:54 AM

its totally thrashed

jerd_hambone 12-06-10 01:37 AM

OP is hiding in shame or else trying to fix a mangled FD.

He probably picked up three full time jobs to get it done.
