Then you might as well get an LFA.


So, when you say, "This is it", have you been having problems with your twin? Just wondering why an engine replacement, under warranty, would be enough to make you give up on the car (my apologies if you have been chronicling issues and I haven't been seeing them)...

Doesn't have new car. Makes thread about farewell.

Doesn't get approved on a car loan, makes new thread "hey guys, decided to stick with the FRS, test drove a GTR and it just didn't impress me."
