36 here, going to be 37 in a few weeks so I guess this is a birthday present to me. My first car was a Celica, then a Supra so I've always been fond of Toyota, but I just can't see myself driving a Scion so its the BRZ for me.

Had 4 mk1 MR2s and 1 MR2 Spyder

Need a sports car that will fit baby seats, and that will fit my bike without the removal of my passenger seat!

(yes that's how I transport my bike in the Spyder).

Though I will add, I will probably add some power to my BRZ down the road. I put a 3.5L v6 in the Spyder, and while I don't need THAT kind of power:weight this time around, something like 50 more hp would be nice.

In the past I owned a craigslist $200 Mustang and a bought from a friend for $2000 Corolla. This time I'm doing it right, I'm buying new and I'm going to enjoy it. If I end up selling the car or driving it for 10 years, I'll be happy either way.

20 here. Parents put a generous $30k cap on me for a car, and I've been eyeballing the 2013 gencoupe, 3 series, and the, obviously, the BRZ, among others.

36 here. The BRZ fits a perfect niche for me as a daily commuter and weekend autocross car.

I am 27, this car will be replacing my Dodge Intrepid hand me down from High School. I also owned a miata and S2k, but quickly sold them because they weren't as epic as my Dodge was. Hopefully the BRZ will be a sound replacement.

21, turning 22 in October. I won't be buying the brz until after I come back from the navy next summer. leaving april 2nd. hopefully by then an sti will be available for me to compare.

wow karbon you are one lucky son of a gun. be sure to thank them everyday then, wish my parents were that generous. also I'm slightly offended being grouped up with 16 year olds

turanuk · 03-24-2012, 04:13 AM

I know I feel very fortunate. I'm excited to be done with finals and greatly looking forward to heading home for spring break to be with my family.

Just turned 36 here beginning of March. Soon to be back from Afghanistan in a little less than a month. So can you say hopefully late birthday / end of deployment present
