Trying to hit on all cylinders of this thread, I lived in Baltimore city until I was 36. In the section of town where I lived parking was a blood sport. I moved to the burbs in 1984 and had my own 2 car driveway, no garage,thought I had died and gone to heaven.

As a teen out of high school I worked at the only Ford dealer in Baltimore that sold Shelby cobras. They had a wrecked 289 that was deemed totaled ( front end damage,not too bad), they wanted $1400 for the remains. I didn't have the money or any place to keep it. It would be worth at least $100,000+ just for the parts today.

I don't think an FR-S will be all that valuable as it is a low volume car,but not as low as a Cobra or a Toyota 2000GT. So not that rare!! Even If you get back what you paid for it in a good many years, you still lose ,accounting for inflation.
I think you are still about 3 topics short.
