You meant to say *Riding a bicycle*. I am in the bicycle industry, so if you ever want buying advise please keep me in mind (plus it looks like I am not too far from you either).

The main thing I'd be keeping an eye out on is the likes of Kia or hyundai (possibly another manufacture) trying to semi-copy the exterior body style of the 86. To me, once other manufactures "copy" or clone the original that is a death sentence to the original.

For example, look at how BMW and Lexus seem to go back and forth copying each other luxury models (tail lights, body lines, etc)... bad bad. Then when Lexus first came out with that black hour-glass grill back in 2014 or so (not its been copied by other manufactures).

The only other two sports cars I'd ever \consider owning (due to their body lines, performance, etc) would be a Porsche 911 Carrera S , or GTS 2009+ (those are still about $48k+ used... still) , or a Nissan R34 (won't be possibly imported for another 9+ years) . Slight possibility for a E30 M3, but those have gone up in value a lot in the last 4-5 years. Mo $$$ , and/or Mo time ...... then a GT86
