My "Financial Mistake"
My back story:
Around 6 months ago I was in the market for a new car. Something nice and something newer but still had to have the ability to accept some bolt ons with relative ease. I was looking at everything (mazdaspeed family, newer miatas, civic si, wrx, evo, s2000, ect., I also was really interested in the challengers, but after seeing it up close its just too big of a car for me) I started to look at the fr-s/brz. I personally like the front end of a fr-s better than the brz. I went though my banks "find me a car" option and found an fr-s not too far away. Decided to go take a look at it. It was around 30-40 min away. It was inside, tucked away in the way back corner. The guy started it up for me and it was loud (in a good way) After browsing their warehouse while they were getting the car out I jumped in the drivers seat and went for a spin. My thoughts.. "Man, this car feels like a go cart, sounds great, shifter feels awesome. The transmission was kinda loud which worried me at first. (has a short throw, and bushings from what I have gathered.) I had to have it. I signed the papers and drove away. I couldn't be happier with my decision. Is the car slow? Meh, who cares. This car for me is about the driving experience. It's my $20,000 therapist. So anyhow, on to the fun stuff.
Bought the car with 12k ish miles.
