Also, considered a brz? The limited has more features than the 10, minus the glowy badges and shifter, with more colours.

Well, the debt isn't unmanageable right now and even with a $400/month car payment, I can have it all paid off within a couple years. It would just be nice to be able to afford to go to more track days instead of putting money towards the debt.
Well, I chose the FR-S over the BRZ because I like the way the FRS looks and Scion offers a cool color: Hot Lava. That and all the Subaru dealers in SoCal are marking up the BRZ over MSRP. Sorry, I'm not going to pay extra "just because". Maybe that's changed, but considering that Subaru is more likely to deny engine warranty because you put lowering springs on the car (yup, seen it happen to other people) I just don't want to take that chance or deal with that kind of asinine bullshit.

Let's see, they've put 2 new short blocks in it, replaced all four cams, both cam towers, timing chain guides and now they're going to put another cylinder head on the driver side. A factory assembled long block is not available so they can't do that. The car has been at the dealer for 3, going on 4 months and they have no f'ing clue what is wrong with it. Their diagnostic skills suck balls so they just keep throwing parts at it hoping it will work. It's probably something simple and stupid that they are overlooking. Like a chain tensioner or an AVCS solenoid after the #2 rod bearing gave up the ghost at 8,300 miles.
Hmm...I like your idea about paying off half the debt. In fact, I could pay off all the credit card debt that way and just have my student loan left. That would free up a fair amount of income for other things.
