Btw, I'll raise your $130k with my $220-230k. Hope you feel better now.
Pharma is huge where I'm at, so I hear ya. It's disgusting how much the execs and sales people get paid, and generally most of the people in the industry aren't very intelligent.

Back on topic, I started saving for the FR-S a few months ago and I should have enough to say for at least half of it in cash. I would like to see if I can get a good down payment before I take out a loan, if I have to.
