Something you all need to hear.
 

Four weeks ago I owned a 2008 jeep wrangled Sahara unlimited. It had 6 inches of lift, custom suspension, a k and n cai and a super chip. 35 inch pro comp radicals and Detroit rear lockers....

I loved that jeep. I spent hours every week under the hood, adding tweaking and fixing everything on it. I have taken it on many trails in moab utah and all over new mexico... I loved it is my point.

My wife's jeep commander died recently of a cracked head. We needed a new family vehicle. She wanted a Camry.

She had it in her head we needed to sell the wrangler. Over my dead body I told her.

As we walked into the dealership there were 3 frs's right near the entrance.

We were close to making the deal had walked out to test drive the camry a second time. My wife said to me that the frs out front was nice looking and no should just drive it... until then I was still passed that we were even thinking of selling my wrangler...

We drove it...... I had never heard of an frs before that test drive. Ivendrvien a g35, a 280z, a viper, a mustang and a 3070z. I felt something really special about this car I had never heard of....

2 hours later I had committednwhat I thought was adultery or abandonment when I drove that car off the lot, leaving behind my most valued possession. I mean I really really loved that jeep.

Since then I have driven 1200 miles in my '14 ultramarine frs. I didn't realize what I had. I think I do now..

Just.....wow.....

Her name is Candy Rocket......

Welcome to the dark side. :)

Welcome! Damn your post brought a tear to my eye. :thumbup:

Awesome!!! ^.^

Welcome to the club! May you enjoy many miles in it.

Soon you will learn how annoying it is to be headlight level with Jeeps and the like!

They're fun for off-roading, don't get me wrong. But blinding to sports car drivers!

I had two sets of lights. I turned off the top lights when pulling behind a sports car. I felt like a duck if I forgot...

Congrats! Needed a family vehicle? hopefully you don't trade Candy Rocket in when the time comes for a family vehicle again. :sigh:

Not sure if I understand the story correctly...were you going to just get a Camry and got the FR-S instead or you got a Camry and also an FR-S (selling the Jeep for the FR-S)? Anyways, congratulations - the car is indeed something special...and it gets better the more you drive it!

Got a camry and the frs....

Looks cool, but please don't name it. ;)

I hear where you're coming from having sold my jeep and picked up an FR-S back in October. This is an old pic, by the time I sold it have bumpers and sliders too. It was locked in the rear. I miss wheeling, but will have a dedicated trail rig in the near future ;)

Congrats and welcome!

Seeing those Jeeps... makes me think of how I would never be afraid of low driveways ever again. Nor would I need to go at a 45 deg. angle over speedbumps and other dangerous objects...
