Nah, thanks Ichi but he knows what he is doing and anybody that read it before it was deleted knows as well. He will either redeem or bury himself by his own future actions.

Hear ya on wanting a new car and being leery on used sports cars. Luck of the draw means you could something pampered that somebody had to give up or one that has been run through the meat grinder by somebody that had no clue what they were doing but still traded for more power.

LOL!!! That civic though!! xD! Well, if it helps any, I was also hit by some lady in a truck a few years ago that I never got around to "ghetto" fixing until recently.


Here's the dent that I managed to semi-pull out and if you look on the trunk, you can see the clear coat failing there too. I have a lot more pictures.. it's rough T_T!

So Yeah, I think it's time to let the civic go haha.

I researched and drove the 370 before I got my FR-S. I agree with above, heavy and numb. It's also weird looking IMO. The 86 is quite beautiful, also IMO.

As a BRZ owner who came from an RSX-S, I can tell you that you will love the transition. You might miss the silky smooth shifting and the hatchback of the RSX, but overall the BRZ is a better and more fun car.

I agree 100%. Had it not felt quite as heavy, I may have jumped on a base model. Who wouldn't love 332hp? I just.. Idk, it just didn't feel as fast as it claimed, IMO.
86 All the way!
