I think some people are really missing the (OP's) point.

I'm in my 40s. I'm not rich but I do pretty well. And I've owned lots of cars. Some of them have cost a LOT more than the FR-S. But it's not my daily driver and I store mine away for the winter as well. (Of course, keep in mind I do live in the thick of the snow (read: salt) belt). Should we not care about the FR-S just because it cost $30K and not $60K? Or $90K? What a strange way to think.

I no longer drive expensive cars because I live in a rural area and my commute is over 100 miles every day. No matter what I drive, I'm going to have over 100,000 miles on it in four years. Most cars, and certainly not daily drivers, offer much return on investment and any car will depreciate very quickly with those kind of miles. I may miss my Audi or BMW but in my case, it's just throwing money away. With my used Fit, I don't fret over where I park it; that some careless individual will ding my door. Or that I hit a huge pothole. Or that my car is driving through a salt bath and I won't have time to wash it for another two weeks. Or that a passing dog is using my wheel as a fire hydrant. Or that the truck in front of me is spewing loose gravel all over my hood.

Well, actually, I DO care about those things. Even with the Fit. But it doesn't REALLY bother me. The FR-S on the other hand is special. I really LIKE the car. And not because of how much it costs. Or how much it doesn't. In size, weight, power, balance and performance, it's very much like a car I once lusted after in high school: The Porsche 944S2.

The OP is taking delivery but won't be driving his car for a few months. And he was considering the merits of putting it storage vs leaving it parked, perhaps on the street, somewhere, during that time. I think his premise was either misunderstood or people have just grown terribly cynical.
