Reasonably happy with the GT86 after having a Nissan S14a for years. The GT86 is nothing like as solidly made as the S14a, plus there's the torque dip with no turbo...

IMHO you must get one with the full spec of keyless entry, heated seats, alcantera, dual climate etc.

I've done a number of mods on mine, it's an easy car to tinker with

Yes! Exactly what I want. Two seats so I can take the wife or daughter with me. Sunny day, no particular place to go, and a tank of gas. That's perfection.

Hi y'all. n00b here. We just picked up '17 BRZ a month ago. Did the muscle car thing in the 70s and found out about sports cars over in Europe in the 80s & 90s. So, basically, this isn't a mid-life crisis. If you see me with an 18 year old cheerleader.......THAT'S a mid-life crisis.

No, I'm from the hill of Dallas. Yeah, there is one. We're real proud of it. I've also got a '79 Vette, a stock '09 Solstice, an SC '07 Solstice & a grocery getter. Gonna need a bigger driveway real soon.

Oh, OK ...... after your comment about 18 year old girls, I thought you may be from the 3 sisters area of Oregon.

Up in them thar hills ...... they start breeding early ....... kind of like in the hills of Kentucky ......

That's quite a stable you got there ......

There are a lot of these things buzzing around my area, mostly driven by retirees.

My first powersliding vehicle! I went through 5 of them in 3 years (1979-1981) then got a BMX in 82. Still remember those years fondly.

Yep, I remember those damn things ......

I was living in CT on a less traveled dead end road when I got my sons those.

As if the big plastic wheel didn't make enough noise, when I was trying to nap, they HAD a clacker on them, which I promptly snapped off both of them.

Then, I convinced the neighbor kids that something was wrong with their big wheels and snapped the clickers off theirs also.

Then I could take a nap .......
