So, it's been just over a year since driving the FR-S off the lot.
First time I parked it in my driveway:
Didn't take long to get here:
Here's how it currently sits (minus the recently installed cat-back):
How do I feel after a year of ownership. I suppose a mixed bag of sorts. I've logged 15k miles in a year, a majority of those miles coming from trips to North Carolina and Tennessee to drive the dragon and also to Georgia for Southern Worthersee.
I've been able to meet some pretty cool local 86 owners through the car. The car itself is still a blast but hindsight is 20/20. A few months after purchasing the FRS, I got bit by the Porsche bug and have been lusting over a 996 turbo as of late. Unfortunately, the bug didn't bite me soon enough and I ended up in the FRS as opposed to just getting a Porsche.
Now, I'd like to think I make sound financial decisions (already looking for 3rd set of wheels for the frs, may make you think otherwise lol) so looks like I'll be sticking with the FRS for a wee bit longer.
I'm still unconvinced I'm signed on as a driver enough to want to take the FI plunge, largely in part due to my strong desire for a P-car. I'm absolutely convinced that turbocharging this car will absolutely make it "perfect" and that much more fun to drive but if I'm not in it for the long haul, do I really want to put forth the effort, time and most importantly the money towards a turbo setup? Hard to tell at this point. I really need to find a screaming good deal on a kit - that would make the decision that much easier. lol.
Either way, no regrets and I absolutely would do it all over again, given the opportunity. Although, I have learned through this car that I will probably never, ever buy new again though. Depreciation sucks!
