Then I went back and got a 2014 FR-S, 6MT just for me. I now have the two toys.


I'm a lucky man.
Yes, you are. Now you have the best of both worlds. You have all the technology and speed one could ever ask for in one car... And then you have the lightweight, manual transmission purity of a sports car in another.

Off topic, but did you take advantage of the $10,000 dealer cash which Nissan is providing on all remaining '14 GT-R's? Heard about $20k+ discounts being offered as of late...

(Not the actual one but I don't have a picture of it)


It's just sitting in the garage, been sitting for 40+ years, last time it was registered was in 1974. Not running but it's fun to sit in

Absolutely GORGEOUS, GhostRai!

Is your car the same color as the one pictured? I LOVE those Cromodoras! I went to considerable trouble to locate and powder coat five CD-3's for my little 124 Sport Spider so now I can't help but notice them.

Sadly, I sold my last two cars to get into my little Scion. I had a little resto-modded 1970 124 Sport Spider and a pretty clean little 1992 MR2. There are things that I miss about all my old cars, those two especially, as they were some of the nicest examples I could find, but the twins are special. If I could only have one car, (mortgaged now) then the FR-S/BRZ is the one I'd have all over again.

The wifey drives a 2013 Rav4, also an excellent car.

I have a Suzuki SV650, Saab 900, and Honda Aero 50. FR-S gets reserved for canyon runs and track days.
