Love the post BUT...
One of my first cars was a 70 Olds Cutlass Supreme. My dad paid $2000 for it. 40 years later the cost is well over 10 times the price while average salary is much less.
Gas was pennies per gallon, now its dollars.
Technology has sky rocketed too.
Mty FR-S has to compare to an Acura RSX that its basically replacing.
I paid about the same, they are about the same size and weight, similar power and style.
The Acura is MUCH smarter! Better build quality, more intuitive layout of nearly everything in the cockpit. I put 200k miles on it and have hardly done anything more than oil changes, breaks and tires. AND I still have it. I spent $1500 on it this past year, for the first time I changed the spark plugs, the front struts and a few other incidentals. It still needs rear shocks and some bushings and yet another set of breaks but engine is smooth, tranny is solid, interior spotless and the body is ok.
Ive had lots of other cars too!
MB E300, CLK 320. Ive also driven some trucks.Honda Accord, Civic and a small variety of other Japanese and American models. VW Sirocco was fun.
Ive had Mustangs; '86 GT 5.0, '71 302 coupe, '66 V8 Convertible. Oldsmobile's! '68, '70, '71, '76 Cutlass Supremes, '98-LS's and a Vicious Bitch '80 Z-28 Camaro Custom HotRod; 400HP 350, 4-speed,
I like cars and I like to drive.
Friends had had awesome cars too, Haha basically just name it!
This is my first Toyota product!
