Think i will give up my first 86 spot up...I will eventually buy it in a couple of years. Got a 2 year old and another one on the way. The only vehicle we have right now is my X-Runner. Wife is thinking 2013 CX-5.

:(

Sucks when life gets in the way. I was in that same spot (but it was 23 years ago). 1985 MK1 MR2 with 200K "every mile a smile" on it died. One kid, one on the way. Practicality required replacement with a family vehicle.

It's a fair trade.

I agree. It'll be a bit selfish for me to get the FR-S before we get a CUV or a family vehicle. Either way, it's not the end, i'll pick up the FR-S in a couple of years.
Dadhawk; I see your delivery date is 5/15? Is that confirmed? Did you get in contact with Ms. Karen?

It is confirmed through the dealer. Didn't have to talk to Ms. Karen, turns out once the dealership had a VIN they were suddenly very chatty and have been on top of it.

They really just didn't know anything.

I would not say I am close to caving into a new ride,
but I might just keep my current ride and refinance it
along with buying the BRZ, but paying for both vehicles
will hit me hard at 600 a month. _ - _

Saw a gorgeous NSX at cars and coffee this morning.. Made me ponder for just a moment...

23 years later you can now trade in the kid (so to speak) for a BRZ/FRS :-D

Part of me wants to just lease another one of these:

Can you blame me? It's not really an option for most of us I realize; I'm in a unique position.

Sounds like a solid plan to me!

The newest S4 does little for me. Audi's recent styling is just way too conservative and too similar from model to model.

I think I may be picking up my new baby :popcorn:
