Thanks everyone!
 

Well I did it. Deep down I know I’ll regret it but what’s been done is done. First off, I want to thank everyone on this forum for their incredible insight and dedication to a truly fantastic automobile. I want to thank Toyota and Subaru for producing which for me was one of the finest sports cars ever made.

After purchasing my FRS I found this forum and learned how to finess the car. I enjoyed the heck out of it but as time takes its toll on the human body, I learned just how much when I tried out a Nissan Nismo 370Z which I was considering purchasing. Damn near snapped my neck getting into it. It was then I said to myself... Self, I said, just what are you doing? Are you going to keep the FRS under cover all winter again or are you going to give in to the signals your old body is throwing at you. Frankly it was a combination of both and a reality check.

I’ve been lusting for a Lexus RC 350 but where I’m at I’d have to track 100+ miles just to test one out.....and service...yeah, right. So I looked locally to find something comparable with the dealers in town. I ended up at BMW.

Now I don’t know if it was the story comparing the Beemer to the RC350 or all the frigging electronic toys, maybe it was the smell of leather. I don’t know but I fell for it and pulled the trigger.

Anyway I patted my FRS and thanked her for the good times we had. I walked away, not looking back but walked directly to into the BMW salon area where my car was waiting. I’m surprised they don’t have an altar set up for these cars.

Anyway, I did the deed, maybe a bit reluctantly considering I checked out the FRS a half a dozen times before I headed to the dealer.

I have a new girl in my life and she seems to be treating me right so far. I’ll never forget my FRS or this community.

Just do me a favor.... Next time you get into you FRS/BRZ/86, pat the dashboard and say thanks for the good times.....then go out and beat the ever living hell out of it.... Thanks everybody, it’s been fun!

you'll be back.

We'll leave a light on for you.

Good luck. Ever have an ultra high maintenance girl?

Well, good on ya -:)

Good. One less, more to go.

Pifff didn't even say what kind of BMW he got.

Yeah I'm jealous. Duh.

He'd say "D42" or something and I'd still be in the dark.

Looking at the number of posts, he taught a long winded good bye was worth more than discussing his car when he had it. You have not been here much anyway ...

Glad I'm not the only one.

Meh, Bimmers. Are they still water-cooling their alternators, or did they figure out what a dumb idea that was?

All girls worth having are high maintenance.

63 years and counting.

Not really - if you get em straight off the farm - :drool:

I grew up in Iowa.

Never saw a John Deere with *THAT* accessory.

So what model BMW did you buy ?

It was definitely the smell of the leather. Maybe it's because my first car was a BMW (albeit a very old one) but it still have the smell that hasn't seemed to ever change lol.

@humfrz that's Hillary Fisher google her.:confused0068:

Well, that shot was taken at a dealership in Fresno, CA. Here's what you get in Iowa - ;)


humfrz

Ahhhh - YES! A good ol country girl from Georgia - :drool:

You just got me into trouble - I was googling (at) her when my 11 year old granddaughter suddenly came up to show me her new school binder.- :eyebulge:

(ma-ma! - pa-pa is doing it again!)


humfrz

God damn. I would plow her field, if you know what I mean!

So, you would just "plow" right through her - you are soooo crude!

:slap:


humfrz

Are those modifications to her breathing / air intake region ? Some call them fun bags , or air bags

I've been told when you just bolt stuff on, you ruin it..

It works the other way... If you have the right name. John, dear... Is the accessory. Or bank account...
