Either way you slice and dice it, most people need one car. If that one car is your BRZ / FRS....enjoy it, drive it. If you bought it new, hopefully you drive it 10-15+ years...spread the cost of ownership over that many years, in the end it shouldn't be too costly. It's the people who buy new, sell after 1-4 years, that get hit with the major depreciation. ...now that is a bad "investment". Think about all the thousands of people who do this 1-4 year car ritual, of buying something new...or even a few years old, only have the vehicle for a short period 1-4 years, the sell/ trade in for the next latest and greatest on the lot. Now that is the vicious cycle, car manufacturers want people to get into....like a drug habit

Very true, but damn it’s fun driving different cars and not same shit year after year. Pay to play.
