As mentioned earlier, I sold my BRZ back to the dealership after I bought my Grandfather's BRG Miata. Its a bit of a legacy car for me; I have been oogling that Miata since I was 11 years old...taht was 23 years ago.
Since I have gotten my Miata, because it already has battle scars, I have no problem driving it hard and stuff. I still wash it and vacuum it when its needed, but its JUST A CAR.
Suave I know exactly what you mean man.
Lemme name the cars I had that I was too scared to push...Nismo 350Z, Porsche Boxster S, STi, SRT 8 Challenger, BRZ.
Lemme name the cars I drove like I stole em'...89' AW-11 MR2, 88' AW-11 MR2 Supercharged, 91' Miata
Can you guess which cars I had the most fun with?
If I didn't "inherit" my Grandfather's Miata, I don't know if the BRZ would still be on the garage queen pedestal or not...

EXACTLY MY POINT!!! Cheaper cars are enjoyed more! Makes them WAY more fun. My 84 mustang I had a BLAST in. I paid $900 for her. I bought my cobra ($25k used,and my first car loan), and babied the damn thing. WAY better car in every way, but never had as much fun in it because I was worried about [enter problem here].

IT WAS DESIGNED TO BE A CHEAP SPORTS CAR! Sooner you (in this case, and I) come to that conclusion, the better off we will be. The car will be worth $6k soon enough. Will it make you think of your little lady differently? This isn't an M3, 911, or GTR, that starts out high, drops and holds, it's a car that was designed for beating the hell out of by a younger demographic because it was cheap. It'll be in civic range soon enough. But honestly, what civic are you going to have this much fun in????
Edit: you have tape on your front end….why? Worried about rock chips? You are proving my point. It costs $500 to repaint the bumper. If you are racing, that's not a ton of money to be honest.
