I'm Liz, a 54-yr-old Dr's office manager and nurse who works full time, and finally was able to get the kids grown and ditch my Expedition EL daily driver. I still have that beloved beast, however, which gets me where I need to go in inclement weather and off-road, and hauls anything or anyone, but it was time for a car that is FUN TO DRIVE for a lady who LOVES TO DRIVE.

The BRZ, as you know, is just the car for that kind of person. I stumbled upon a used, single owner 2018 Anniversary model in nearly pristine condition with 18k miles. I am tearing it up on the quiet suburvan roads, and just about weep in disappointment with my 5-mile commute, so sad to be pulling into my driveway. I want to drive it all the time. When people ask if it goes "fast," I tell them it is the most exhilarating time you can have going from zero to 45mph, lol.

I have done some NASCAR Driving Experience time, so when I say I love to drive I am not kidding, and the fact that I can have a great time just going to work and back makes this midlife crisis purchase a good one. I'm sure I'll have questions and want to get some experienced opinions about certain things I notice, so I look forward to reading through some threads and getting informed about this relatively new car that (as a manual transmission limited model) seems oddly analog and refreshingly basic.
