Do you have secondary transportation? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

2 cars is a must

3 cars is a dream

Holy Christmas, just took a look at the first page of your build thread, that is one sweet looking 280Z. If that were my backup car I wouldn't mind at all if my motor let loose

Thanks. If I had a 3-car garage, I might have kept the Z. But, I was just tired of maintaining a 35 year old car (at the time I sold it).

I have a 2006 xB that I bought new. It has about 185k on it now and I smacked a deer pretty good in 2015. It's become my winter commuter when it gets really snowy. I park it at the bottom of my 1/4 mile long driveway and walk there from the house (it's only a few hundred yards from the house as the crow flies).

The FR-S sees no salt. Also, this is only two to three weeks out of the year. I live in Kentucky, not Chicago.

Buying a second car is the best thing that ever happened to my brz. I have a '16 4Runner now, had a few Ford pickups before.
