I sold it...
 
Well I sold my FR-S Saturday, traded it in for a pickup truck after all I'm from Texas. I just needed something bigger for my daily driver.

This closes the chapter of the vehicle I've had the most compliments of in my entire life :wub: And I've had a collectors ed Trans am, a Porsche, and a 350. None of them came close to my Frs.

I suppose I got a bit down on my car through no fault of it's own, Basically it wasn't the yellow one ;) I fully plan on buying a used TRD in a year or two once they aren't ridiculously over priced.

Until then guys. It was a blast. :burnrubber::cheers:

Sinner! But really, a truck? I was thinking I needed a truck until I drove a new Ram with the 8-speed for a full day. What a miserable driving experience.

Enjoy!

Damn that's a bummer, gotta do what you gotta do through. What kind of truck did you end up with?

Talk about 2 different extremes. Next mod for the truck should be a gun rack.

:D All jokes aside .... trucks are very useful.

I need a truck as well.. The FRS cant tow my miata to race events lol

I almost traded my FRS in for a 2009 tacoma but it hurts my soul to lose over half of my originally invested money in the course of one year.. New cars effing suck.. >.>

Trucks should be old and cheap. Spend $3-5k on one and keep the FR-S.

Such is life - all the best.

Good luck finding a cheap manual RS 1.0 in a couple years that isn't thrashed. They probably only made 750 manual ones in the whole country.

How is that even possible? I don't think even a Yugo lost 50% of its value in one year.


Or are you just talking about your down payment?

Yea you are right. I am just a worry wart about long distant trips. 2400 miles round trip in an old truck sounds scary.. lol

Basically after having approximately $12,000 into the FRS from date of purchase I only carry about $6000 worth of equity if I was to sell/trade in. Mind you I bought used so my initial buy in was pretty low. It just sucks thats all..

If I EVER land a new job I will be taking a one way trip to new miata town.. I am addicted to the idea of that car.. If it handles like my NA but I can actually drive it on the freeway then I will have a winner. I might even buy a brand new one! I would attempt to keep that car forever :D

Umm... I'm thinking about how to do this (discretely) in my FR-S. :D
