This actually coming from someone that can't even tell a difference in handling of different sports cars. From all the posts that I've read from you on this forum I've come to the conclusion that you were just never a very good driver to begin with let alone daily driving a manual transmission.

Gokarts for example, are always fun; regardless of what cars you've driven previously.

No way man this guy has the ultimate connection with cars. So much that he can say with confidence that 20mm spacers made his car EXTREMELY pushy. With the spacers on it took him 4 extra rotations of his wheel to do the same turn that only took 2 turns of the wheel without the spacers!

But they're just too damn slow to have fun with

IMO for most people they buy SUVs because they're selfish. They feel safer being up higher, mainly because they can see more. They don't really give a damn that they're blocking the view of people in cars. It's all about them. Sure, that's not the case for everyone but for a lot....they can kiss it.

Im mad jealous of your GSR

Yeah you don't see DB2 GSRs very often even back in the early 90s.

My Land Cruiser is very top heavy and that is another reason not to DD it. Even with heavy duty springs and very large swaybars it still is weird feeling changing lanes at 65mph. But my truck is setup for suspension articulation with long travel suspension. I only have a 3" lift. Some go to 6" on my series Land Cruiser.

Holy crap you guys are serious about putting tree's on/in your cars!
The amount of sap and dirt and bugs that must bring into the car just kills my OCD
I bought the BRZ as a fun weekend car, so having a small suv as a daily/beater just made sense. (Considering I already owned it and it's paid off so it really doesn't cost me anything)

That things pretty bad ass! I've been planning out a 3rd gen 4runner build to use for some light off-roading and camping trips.

Still gets just as dirty in the winter. Not like there are clean winters around here.

Nothing like a Tcoat winter but it proved little problem regardless, even on tires not suitable for conditions. I find the BRZ a great daily. Lowered, stiffened, with body kit all around and I encounter little problems. Also, the clutch is so light i wouldn't think to complain of it in traffic. In fact, the car travels at 4mph without prompt in 1st gear, and 6-8 mph (depending on slope) in 2nd gear. Makes dense traffic a breeze. Maybe this speaks to my economic position growing up, but having a vehicle with leather seats, heated, power windows and AC is a luxury. I'm also smitten i have Bluetooth to play music. It's all "nice" to me. And, you guessed it, I even think the car is quick haha.

People complain about much, and I think the best lesson would be to give them less so in the end they may appreciate more.
