Yep here too. She likes sporty cars and loves driving a stick but dislikes my clutch so much it makes her hate the car. Like this morning, our '12 Forester (her car) had to go in for the airbag recall so I took it in, instead of coming to pick me up in the fun, high mpg, reliable car she chose the beater old Durango we keep around for when we need to do truck stuff or the weather is really terrible and we don't want bubba in the brodozer or soccer mom in the Escalade doing the AWD slide for life taking out one of our good cars.

Damn. Some of y'all mugs got it rough. My wife was hesitant to greenlight the FRS as we are having kids soon but I sold it on her. After driving around with me she loves going on adventures in it.
I even have the green light now to build a weekend road warrior NA Miata, on the condition I don't get back into motorcycle riding which I am totally fine with. I feel much safer on 4 wheels. If I time everything right and the magic conch blesses me with good fortune I can have the miata ready before kids are too big for FRS and trade in for sporty Lexus, or STI if they ever make one that's not hideous again, preferably wagon.

Maybe show her that video of that race twin in Australia flipping, and the driver is ok. Or maybe that will have the opposite effect. Haha

Yes I think so. So really, it righted itself which is that much more impressive. These are very advanced machines, you see.

About 80% of the ones I see driving around are older (using your measuring system). They just aren't hanging out where you are so you don't believe they exist. I strongly doubt that anything near 90% are people registering them for their kids. Go back and look at some of the old threads and the average age of the people buying the 13s is well north of 40. All in all it is not the "young" persons car that you would believe it to be. Not like Civics where the average age is around 12.

You can doubt my 90% figure, but it's pretty hard to even want to call that graph relevant/accurate today. You were probably right about those numbers back in 2013/14, but now? I wouldn't be so sure. TBH Civics aren't even affordable for 12 year old's now because of insurance. It's those G35's people be buying now.

You sure it's not a Subaru De Testarossa? They are twins after all, I would double check just to be sure.

It's only a Testarossa if three cars are inline bumper-to-bumper (making sure my simple math is right... flat 4 x 3 = flat 12 Testarossa)... yes, we're good.
