You wrote "Good" which he replaced with "Well" which is proper English.

He's "one of those" Right Scrappy?

Definitely one way of putting it, I always felt that it was like your last chance to relive your youth and or feel relevant in today's world before you drift off into old age and monotonous routines

I wouldn't consider that a crisis; that's more like a well-deserved reward.

Ha! @soulreapersteve gave me an extra inch. We're the same height. NOTHING is made for people our size. While I miss the fit of my 240Z, the 86 is close enough and is better at just about everything else including not being a death trap.

Zero regrets. I'm 100% invested in this machine.

Thanks for the responses...even the snarky ones pointing out my typos. I have fat fingers.

I have looked at some old RX-7s, but having dealt with pooched apex seals back in the day....um....no. I'm looking for a jump in and go car. Not a project I have to wrench on.

I have test driven a Genesis Coupe...my ass is too wide for the seat. I was sitting on top of the bolsters. OUCH!

You folks seem like a great community too. That's important when it comes time for upgrades and problems.

Love the suggestion to do a weekend test drive. Heck. I'd be happy if I could get an overnight loan and do another review video. Just gotta find a dealer or owner who'll let me do it.
