Last year, my life went through a whole !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! of !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , one including buying my new FR-S. Now, my life is about to change even more and the car just doesn't fit that change. In a few days my FR-S will be no longer inhabiting my garage, so I thought I'd take the time and give it a proper send off with this little video.

Thanks to everyone that suggested this little car, I really appreciated it.

Kind of works out in this case, don't you think?

Looks like you are talking 90% of the video except the only time I hear you is when you are standing outside of the FRS at the beginning.

I just can never get into Golfs. No hate to anyone that does and I do understand that they're the most livable of all the affordable sporty offerings but I just can't get over how "grown up" styling and the muted-ness of that drivetrain and suspension setup.

Also, hi. I'm 5.

That's odd, I've played it a few times and I can definitely hear myself in car.

I should mention that my left ear bud is mangled so I only listen to the right ear bud....

Just found this, nice ode to the FR-S and congrats on the big career switch! I’ll be in the market for a new car summer/fall of 2016 and I can’t decide if I want to keep the FR-S and get a +1 or consolidate into something pricier.

I keep thinking the FR-S is one helluva platform and I should only sell it if absolutely forced to. If I sell it I can always find a used example, but it will never be the same car. Purchased at age 23 with 7 miles on the clock, the car I learned to drive stick on and brought me to the modding/canyon carving community. Not sure where I am going with this, but I get your sentiment.

You’re crazy. My ‘11 GTI was one of the best cars I’ve ever owned and at 3.5 years of ownership, the longest-lived. It was right up there with the Lotus Elise and Integra Type R I’ve owned in the past. I’d still have it today if the Skyline GT-R bug hadn’t bit me.

You could have at least taken the car through a car wash before making this video.
