90 Miata, 05 Mini Cooper, 07 Forester XT, 08 Mustang GT
Couldn't bring myself to part with any of them when it came right down to it, and I am fortunate enough to have cheap insurance and a large garage, so I just added the BRZ to the fleet.

I'm going from a 2000 Mazda 626, which I love. I actually wanted another Mazda to replace it, but because my dad works at Toyota it was cheaper for me to get a new Scion/Toyota than it might have been for even a used Mazda. So I was looking at the Scions mostly because I didn't want a Camry or a Corolla. Right around I was looking the FR-S showed up and I had to have it.

'07 350z Roadster w/ 6-speed manual. Was a blast to drive despite being 3600lbs(convertible is 300 or so lbs heavier than the coupe.) I was having a really bad headache/migraine episode and lost the ability to think for a second, failed to yield to oncoming traffic turning left on green and totalled it. I still miss the car, but the FR-S is turning out to be much more fun and I never took to modding the Z like I am my FR-S. The handling and feel of the car is definitely a step-up from the Z, plus it looks way cooler!

2003 Infiniti G35 - Carribean Blue.
I sold the Infiniti in August 2011, bought a 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, then missed having a coupe  so I bought the FR-S in June 2012.Great car, but I still miss my Infiniti G35!

2006 Nissan 350Z. It blew a head gasket and i used some of that cheap fix from Autozone so I would have enough time to trade it in and get an FR-S.

00 Celica GT auto to FR-S MT.
Was about 1" lower than it appears in this photo. Definitely a great upgrade stylistically and performance-wise.
