Sometimes I regret and sometimes I don't... *sighs*
I regret that I passed up on opportunities to own something crazier in the price range of the FRS. I could've gotten a mk4 Supra turbo, Rx7 v8, e46 m3, nsx, c6 corvette, or soop the hell outta my mr2 to like 700+HP. I think about this all the time and it makes me really regretful that I'm stuck with a 165whp Scion.
On the flipside, I am happy to have the FRS as it's fresh and it was my first new car purchase ever. There's something about being handed the keys with 16kms on the odometer that feels good; knowing that you, and only you, are the one who's got first ownership of the car. And being as this is a sports car, it feels good knowing that it is brand new and not some used car that was ragged on by it's previous owners. No history, no mystery
I am planning on keeping this beauty forever though. Seeing as I would lose over $10,000 if I were to sell it, I think it would be dumb to get rid of the car.
I have a love/hate relationship with the FRS. Some days I love it, some days I wonder why I even have the car as my mr2 is actually more fun than the FRS.
But truth be told, I needed a new car and if I was going to be buying new, it had to be something special. Not some box with wheels. It was a no-brainer to get the FRS.
The thought of purchasing something else does haunt me from time to time... Like a tricked out v8 '97 240sx modified to the tilt for less than the price of the FRS. But then again, I'm just left with somebody else's mystery.
Good thread!
