With a more expensive car, I would feel qualms. A used engine is cheap. A used Porsche engine? Heh! Plus if I want to have fun, loud and light and tossable are good traits.
This^. I could have bought a new Cayman as easily as the FRS but as a high milage daily driver I would have felt bad slowly destroying it. Cost of purchase and upkeep aside (I get paid milage for work so either car is virtually free as far as my income is concerned) I feel I get every bit of fun out of the FRS as I would the Cayman. I will leave the Cayman for the dude that will drive it every third Sunday through the summer (if it isn't raining) and pound the crap out of the poor old FRS whenever the chance should arise.
