Ya, very sad but got my priorities straight... In an ideal world, that would be the case, I'd keep the BRZ for the weekends and have a DD car, but unfortunately, having 2 cars is just not in the cards right now. On the other hand, it will just have to be a fun sedan! I'll be checking out a local Focus RS that the original customer passed on the order this week.

I'm actually also shopping around for an STI since the RS markups have been ridiculous.

Ya, I also have a car seat in the rear passenger that works just fine with my 2 yo, but don't think having her behind me and a baby seat next to her is feasible.

Not to go too far off topic, I did flash to the latest CARB tune from Edelbrock and first impressions: I can't tell the difference lol. I think there is a hint of hesitation here and there, but I positive that is due to the pedal learning and will probably go away after I've driven it some more. Either way, I'll be keeping this in my back pocket when the time comes and switch back to the DT tune since I already have the D-box.
