TY again everyone! I feel so welcomed from the ft86 community already haha :p

Edit:
Lots of people are asking about a bit about me so here it goes:

I (M 20) am a uni student. I currently have a Mazda 3 2014 GS auto, but my family needs another car and I said why not give this amazing car to my sister and get myself an even cooler one
My mom also specifically wanted a "cool" looking car since we have had boring cars all for the most of our life. IMO the FRS/BRZ/86 is the best bang for buck "least boring" car I could find, so that's why we want it
Hope that clears things up. Feel free to ask if y'all have any more questions

Just wait until you test drive. Boring will never cross your mind.

Well, after you saying that, I would recommend you get a BRZ -

Stay focused on your studies.

For some reason when I first read his post I read it as PPI as in a pre-purchase inspection. Funny how the brain makes assumptions based on context when not reading closely.

PPT Hahaha

Who do you think you're kidding - you would most likely blow it on something like this -

You're alright there, omadab -

Presentations over the years went like this:

winging it > chalk boards > transparencies > power point > laser light shows > holograms > winging it.

(I'm missing one - what is it?)

Reminds me of the only time I got to drive a real Cobra. Back in the 80's, when I was running autox, this guy had a 289 track only car. He let me do a run with it. What a monster. You really had to man handle that thing.

If I had to spend that kind of money on a car, I would probably get an R8.

While I have you on the line there @finch1750 , do you know of a place to eat up in Loche, called Al the Wop's? Have you eaten there?

When I was roaming around the delta, back in the day, I always made it a point to stop in there and have a steak and peanut butter on toast.


Have I asked you this before ?? Seriously ??





humfrz

I have heard of it, never beent here though.

And no, I don't recall you asking about it before but my memory is not much better then yours. I just don't have an excuse

Umm... 150 000,00$ is French Canadian currency format. i8 would probably be a much safer bet here

If $150k landed in my lap and could be dedicated to a vehicle purchase I'd be looking for an $80-100k RV, set $25k aside for fuel and another $25k for insurance. That ought to cover me for a few years of cruising with minimal time spent working.
