The BRZ is a special car for sure. I will miss it very much whenever I am taking a turn and wanting to slide the rear end out and have some fun. The WRX is certainly a very different animal. Extremely planted and it feels like a rocket next to the BRZ.

I am thinking in three years or so I can find a used FR-S or BRZ on the cheap and have a third car.
I hope you do get to scoop one up later. Congrats on the new purchase though.

yesterday I went where cars go to die and said goodbye one last time.

right now its -3F -4R, as soon as I see Tony the fender roller I can tuck a bit more. I don't want it slammed, just enough so that the top threads aren't visible.

Oh man, just read through you latest updates and I am so sorry about your car, but am really happy to hear that you are okay. Cars can be replaced, people cannot

If it helps, I totalled one of my favorite cars (1987 Mazda RX-7) and I never thought I would get over it (I was really shaken up and it took me a few weeks to get behind the wheel of any car again) but I did. And I eventually bought a 95 RX-7 that made me forget the 1987 RX-7 really quick..

Good luck with the next car you might find a bargain on a gently used 2013

And if you want something different there is always a WRX. Different animal but very fun in different ways and with Blizzaks is a tank in the snow and ice.
