Sorry to hear your FR-S got messed up.....:(

If you are young and single and not too tall and liked to drive your FR-S and never had a roadster, I'd suggest you take a ND (the new one) Miata for a test drive......;)

I drove a 2006 NC for 7 years and 88,000 touring miles and enjoyed every mile. mrs humfrz, not so much ..... however, she does like our FR-S .... :thumbsup:

For now buy what you can afford. Then when you graduate from college & get a steady job with a secure income then buy a nice sports car. You got your whole life ahead of you. As my late grandfather used to tell me, "A car will always be there, You want it that badly then go work for it". Nuff said.

buy the car that make you the most happy.

Buy a drop top Datsun 510.

Stay away from the M3...unless you have money for repairs. Lots of things go wrong with BMW's once the warranty ends and the cars get older. It's why they lose value so much. They will cause you a headache :bonk:
If you can, buy one with a warranty and once it ends get ride of it haha

I read it like he owed 3K MORE than what they were giving him. Whoops... I know how gap insurance works :slap:

I meant fast car.... not just american icon / muscle whatever.

LS1/2/3/6 equipped vehicles are much easier maintenance than these cars and can get upper 20's MPG with a six speed manual. Easy to mess around with? Obviously they checkmark that. Just saying, if you've never even considered a car like that...don't limit yourself to a miata or a genesis. Get 8x the performance for 1/2 the cost, lol.

I'll be there with mine in 2 weeks, sorry for your loss.

I read the other day you were a broke ass college student. If that's the case, I would stay away from the M3 or SLK350 or Porsche. You can get them at an affordable price, but keeping them well maintained and keeping them on the road is going to cost far more.

Just look at tires - the M3 is running 265/35r19 on the back - even "cheap" tires that size are going to be $250 or more. the stock PSS on it are like $450 each. And the M3 absolutely chews through back tires. You have to look past the sticker price. New set high performance tires for the FR-S are about $450 without any rebates. Those same tires would be $1100-1400 on the M3.

Prolly going with a miata if I could find one. These things are pretty damn rare to find one in a decent shape.

Haha my hair is at the dude's hair length. Now if only could I grow a sick ass goatee.

That's awesome. Mine was too for a few years in between post-Navy and my dad's genetics kicking in. Good times.

Dude! None of us want to see an "ass goatee". Especially one that is sick.
