I've been putting off doing this, but given this is very close to the 12th anniversary of me joining this forum (2/1/2012!) I figured it is good time as any. Below are the stats I had been updating annually in this thread about my FRS journey.

I do regret falling just short of making it to the Moon (distance wise).

Ultimately, I have no doubt the FRS could have made it to 300,000 miles. Other than the one mechanical failure documented above involving the battery tie down failing and shorting out the car, it was never in the shop for a mechanical breakdown.

It did have the two body repairs (one front, one rear) from idiots trying to run me over. From that, the rear end job was causing some slight body issues. For example the rear lid had a gap issue that I needed to get addressed, and the rear end had started to squeak a little more than I would have liked in the last couple of months.

It also was at the point where it needed some maintenance work done on the suspension (all the parts were original to the car).

Overall, I loved this car and was sad to see it go. If I'd had a place to park it I would have considered keeping it, but it just didn't make sense to keep it, either physically or fiscally.
