Just received my VIN# via email. (There is nothing stated in the area for allocation # and ship date.) Alternate cars is on the backburner now. My salesman said he believes it's June 7th that they will see the shipment.

Also, there was one German car I'd consider. Volkswagen GTI. I just test drove one and it's not for me. Driving feel is too numbed out. I can't go with any other German cars on the luxury side of things not because of affordability but I need to have something that won't be judged as luxurious or I lose the trust I have with my patient's that live in poverty to lower-middle class.

What interior features are cheaper on the frs? Aren't they almost the same except for the stereo?

Per the reviews I've read, yes.

Then I double my aw11 suggestion

Youre just making an excuse if you dont think they will judge you when they see a 2013 Subaru BRZ

I can't fit into that thing

And no. They wouldn't judge me with a GTI, but my employer wouldn't even allow me to use an upscale car and work there unless I had another car too. I'm not even allowed to dress nice. Jeans no holes in them is as nice as it gets. Most of my patient's are in poor neighborhoods and in the ghetto. I offer my services as a psychotherapist to under-privileged families.

I can refer you to someone in your area. You need help

Chu makes a decent point. everyone I've shown pictures of the BRZ to so far...100+ people easily hehe.... and all have thought it was in the league of Porsche's.

They see the low roof line, the two doors, and always have to do a double take when I tell them it's cheaper then their loaded Camry. Have you shown the car to your employer yet?

I'm not saying that you shouldn't get it - just that you might need to invest in a DD beater for work purposes.

GL tho, I know i'll have to hide it from all my first dates... can't let them think they hit it big when i roll up, - lol.

I'm sorry but can you make this any harder?

Sounds like a rough job. I probably wouldn't have picked it, willingly.
