well, its finally happening...
 
Ive waited a very long time, and finally the time has come, enthusiast s are being handed their keys after a long 5 year wait(well some of us have been waiting that long), personally back then I didnt know wether or not the concept would have gotten this far...

Im glad 5 years ago when I was 16 I decided to put away 4k every year as a hope this car would make it to show room floors, I was broke up until I was 18 and was able to get a better job, and I feel like its paid off...

Also I saw another special trait about this car, its a dream car you can actually afford... Not some 100k 200k car or a million dollar exotic... But still carried the traits of a ground up purpose built car(despite the fact it doesnt have a million HP)

My FRS will be here on my birthday and will be the 5 year anniversary of my very patient wait :)

I can gladly say im one of the few people who got to see and drive the frs/BRZ that wasn't a magazine reviewer or one of the lucky 86, in a way that makes me even more lucky, on my birthday I will be turning 21 and ill be having a beer to celbrate 5 years, a lot of luck, and to give a silent toast to tada to thank him because I have a love for 90s sport coupes but wasnt old enough to enjoy them when they were new, and how the frs gives my generation a chance to live that genuine experience

I plan to enjoy this car for the next 50 years or untill we run out of petrol...

Thanks tada :happy0180: cheers

Congrats man. Refreshing to see a young person save up for their dream car vs taking on instant debt. I am happy for you. When do you get the keys?

Actually im going 10k down to build credit, lol... I have the money but no credit... So this will also be a good stepping stone to getting a house one day

That is smart. If you really want to build credit fast, pay off that loan as fast as you can :) It will also save you lots of money in interest payments. Also make sure you get an autoloan that has no pre-payment penalty. It is pretty rare to see them now, but they still exist (where you have to pay a penalty to pay your loan off early).

Exhaust and I are getting first dibs on rides!

Exhaust can sit in the backseat...

Someone is being really smart here :)


I'm doing something very similar an it's a refreshing feeling.

Dark_Angle 05-16-2012 06:27 PM

build credit = more interest paid over time. Don't pay it off asap.

MrFRsLa 05-16-2012 06:30 PM

I like this guy. Such passion and patience. At his age I would have caved into another car by now.
