I know I'm old. I remember turning the crank on my Grandfather's Model A. Later in life when I started driving the only option you could get on a car was a radio. As far as upgrades, you could install a rear seat speaker, fender skirts, cadillac hub caps, shackles, glass packs and blue dot tail lights.
Those memories and habits formed at an early age are probably some of the reasons I appreciate the simplicity of the FR-S over the more "luxurious" BRZ limited.
We all have our back grounds and individual histories. That's why there's such a mix of people, thoughts and attitudes on a forum like this.
I will add that I have to admit sometimes the manual transmission fan boys make me want to gag (even though I do drive a manual). But that too is based on their back ground.
