Why are you considering a new car?

What benefits do you enjoy that are important to you in the FJ?
What do you hope to gain as benefits for owning an FR-S or BRZ?
What characteristic(s) about the FJ do you value the most each time you drive it?
What characteristic(s) about the FJ do you value just as an owner of the FJ?
What characteristic(s) about the FJ do you dislike the most each time you drive it?
Why did you decide to purchase the FJ in the first place?


What changes do you see coming in the next 5 years that could impact owning an FR-S/BRZ? (commonly answered with "new job," "more kids," "a pet", "weather")
What lifestyle changes (ex. hobbies) do you see coming if you had gotten rid of the FJ all together, rather than replaced? How do would you feel about these changes?
What lifestyle changes do you see coming if you replace the FJ with the FR-S? How would you feel about these changes?

Realistically, how long can you see yourself owning the FR-S?
How long did you initially plan to keep the FJ?
How often have you thought about getting rid of the FJ?

...etc.
Wow! Well done!

That just about exactly covers it

All we know is.... He's called The Stig
