It is nice that somebody actually listened to both sides of the story and wasn't just looking for support for what they already had set in stone in their head.

They're right in that I probably should have done better research before posting a thread, but this was still immensely helpful. To be honest I don't know why this is still getting attention. Thanks again for the help! You too @Tcoat

However, specific to your comment I quoted here, you say your Jeep has become an impractical daily driver. The other thing that stuck in my head from that Quirt Crawford interview was when he said once it had all that power, it was no longer fun to drive. He said the BRZ in stock form was a car you could drive at 10/10 all the time, whereas once you add power, it becomes a chore to constantly hold the car back in traffic. He said it had lost balance and wasn't a practical daily at all. This is the guy who built the car and sells the kits, saying he made it less practical and less fun to drive. So if you want a BRZ/FR-S/86 because you want a practical daily driver, you may be disappointed with a really crazy build. You might decide then that you need another daily driver, so maybe you'll buy something else. Then perhaps you'll get tired of having the FR-S you never drive, and you'll try to sell it, only to find that adding crazy power mods to a car doesn't increase the value in any proportion to their cost. Finally you'll end up selling the car at a big loss just to get it out of your sight. Based on everything else you've said, you've already looked well ahead in other areas of your life. Not sure you've seen the future on this decision. |

OP will be surrounded by zipper-suited sun gods in BMW's and MB's, the Rocket Bunny might be required.
