No worries and thanks! Had I known you were going to be at the norcal meet last weekend, I would have been less hesitant to participate :P You owned the cars I dreamed about as a preteen - in particular there was a little Triumph Spitfire zipping around the neighborhood with a for sale sign in the window that I was "saving up" for. lol

So why would a 70 year old guy want an FRS? Well I have spent the last 30 years looking for an acceptible replacement for my Datsun 510 before becoming aware of the FT-86 several years ago.
Think about it, when was the last time that any manufacturer built a small car (under 3000 lbs) that seats 4 (even if 2 of them are small kids) with a front mounted 4 cyl engine and REAR wheel drive?

Well, it was way too long ago, and that's exactly what gets some of us so excited about this car :happy0180:
Both of you (and @ Zancudocom too!) are cordially invited to join our Old Timers Club! Hope to see you there :)
(You tell 'em whaap! I believe you're on the Oldest Old Timer throne :bow:)
