Cool story though.
It's not elitist because I would apply same advice to myself. And not ignorant, because it's based on premises we can agree on, such that fr-s is a rwd sports car which is primarily meant to be enjoyed at the limits of traction, to which it is the easier to take than a basic civic. I don't think it is wise use of resources and probably even dangerous for most people. People who don't drive stick looking to get an FR-S most likely want it based on superficial impressions from 2fast2furious and commercials, or reviews, not first hand experience or reality.
