Quick mini-rant on the FRS and what we use it for

Hey everybody first time poster long time reader here,

First and foremost I just wanna say I'm 24 years old, live in Ontario, Canada, drive my car year-round and lap/compete at the tracks regularly.

I've been getting a lot of questions (the same ones I'm sure most of you have gotten), which can all really be summed up with "Why the FRS/BRZ?". All of my enthusiast friends and even non-enthusiasts always ask me the same thing - why I didn't buy a WRX/EVO/RHD TT RX-7 or some car of that sort and chose the 200hp 'underpowered' car that I did.

Now I was under the impression that this car was made to be an AFFORDABLE car that can be used for everyday driving, while still being able to drive it to the track - have loads of fun - then drive home safely. This is exactly what I use it for and this thing does it perfectly.

I commute 80km to-and-from work Mon-Fri then drive up to the track, throw down solid lap times and have a blast doing it, then drive home without a worry in my head. On top of the gas and insurance being very affordable and reasonable, I literally couldn't ask for an all around better setup. I get a lot of track time in the car without having to worry about mechanical issues which has made me a much better driver with just one season in my FRS.

This is what I believe the true nature of these cars is, the affordable everyday track car for guys like me and you and I couldn't be happier with it. Never thought I could have this kind of experience without spending all of my money but boy was I wrong.

Thanks for reading! I hope you get the same joy out of this car as I do!

Oh and here it is
