I'm 50, a professional, a director at my firm, I drive a Scion lowered,with header and exhaust, am in professional settings all the time with people who drive what they perceive as a nicer car than mine. when I tell them I drive a Scion they give me the polite nod. Then usually after our meetings we go back to our cars and it's the same reaction all the time, disbelief when they see the car. Now they want to know more. All I ever tell them is that there are 2 types of drivers. Those that have a car to get from point A to B. Those that actually enjoy getting from point A-B. The FRS is one of the cheapest platforms if you actually like driving. Please note that I also have a Mercedes and a brand new Lexus IS300 and never had a compliment on either one of those cars. I say who cares what others think and if you enjoy the car and it gives you vigor and enthusiasm. Keep it! FYI. The older you become the less most things actually excite you.
