Backstory - when our youngest headed off to college, I thought to myself "time to get a fun car...no need for a responsible/kid-lugging sedan for the first time since college". Ran my thoughts by the wife and she immediately said "you deserve it" (LOVE that woman!). I researched the crap out of 'affordable sports coupes' for a couple of months and the BRZ kept popping up high on lists. Then I saw an online advertisement for the 'Series.Blue' and I was hooked...it had the look I wanted at a price I could afford. I had no desire for the more common muscle cars on the 'affordable sports coupe lists' (Mustangs and the like) and the Miata just wasn't appealing to me. So I found a local dealer that had a BRZ WRB S.B en route and asked him to let me know when it arrived. The week before it arrived, we went to a Scion dealer and test-drove an FR-S Monogram, just so I'd have an idea of what it was like to drive a manual again. The Monogram was ok, but the next week when the BRZ S.B arrived and I saw it 'in the flesh', well...
So to answer your question, it was THAT moment in the showroom (and before the other couple looking at it with another salesman had a chance to check with their bank for financing - you snooze you lose!). 4,000 miles in and I'm thrilled.
