The OP has succeeded.
Jurrasic Park lets me out of my paddock every few days to drive my FR-S.
Retired 8 years ago at 60, so you do the math. Not going to bore you with a long back to when I was younger story since most of the youngsters here don't have the patience to read more than 2 lines. Must be a texting thing.
1964 red MGB - bought used, my college car, great ride but a rust bucket and a mechanical nightmare and them damn SU carbs, 4 speed manual
1990 red Ford Probe LX with a 3.0 L "Vulcan" V6 engine, not really in the "sports car" class, 5 speed manual, quick but way too much body roll in the corners. Drove it for 8 years and then passed down to my son.
Had my eye on a Miata for many years until I test drove a FR-S in 2013. Found a red (must have a thing for red) pre-owned certified used 2013 in March 2014. It was advertised as a manual but was an auto. Best auto I have driven.
