Though I was to old for the FR-S. What's you age....

LOL! Well, that's one advantage of the BRZ Limited with the in-dash rear view camera displaying through the navigation screen. There's no way I could see the nano-sized image in the rear view mirror.

Oh, The Red One , don't count yourself out too soon.

At age 63, I bought an NC Miata and put 88,000 miles on that puppy. Then at age 70, I bought my FR-S. I'm now 77 and figure I have at least one more new car in me before my kids take my drivers license away from me.

So, you got a ways to go -

I'm 73. Have I commented in this thread before, can't recall as I do have CRS and CRAFT.


I'm hoping to be able to get another vehicle, IF I'm still allowed. (Same issue as humfrz).


Torn between a new BRZ and a new Bronco. I do have my reservation in for the real, full sized Bronco. Waiting to see which vehicle is available first.


I could buy both, but that requires freeing up garage space which requires work. At this age I don't like work very much.

I was big on the Bronco, but then I saw a picture of one in the wild and it doesn't look anything like the concept.

I'll be 65 when I plan to place an order for the 2021 GR86. Really wanted an MX-5 but SWMBO was adamantly opposed so, happy wife/happy life.

Boy, I hear that. What I did was to rent (from the garbage service) a 2 cu yd dumpster, which they emptied 4 times during the month. Then I wheeled it into the garage and started throwing stuff into the dumpster (if I hadn't been used it in the last year, in it went).

Meanwhile in my basement I still have one damaged hubcap from a car I sold 40 years ago.

Best way to clear out the garage (& the basement, etc.) is to move after living in a house for 39 years. That's what we did last year and it's amazing how much less space & crap you need in your life. It takes a lot out of you but better than putting it off. It doesn't get easier as the odometer clicks off the miles.


As an added plus, moving afforded me a garage that was an empty canvas and it was great to build a work/storage space from scratch.

When I cleared out the garage before we moved, I finally tossed a donut spare from a 1980 Tercel that had been totaled in 1984.

I'm almost 69 and have had my FRS since they came out (mine was teh first one sold in my city). I still take it to track days. Sold my Mini Cooper S to my kid and replaced it with the 13 FRS in 2012. It's my daily driver so I dont put too many miles on my Maserati Spyder.

I'll keep having fun behind teh wheel until I can't turn it any longer...

32, bought the car when I was 29 (wanted a Porsche before I turned 30, had my eye set on a Boxster, but wound up shelling out a little more for an 86.

1st owner was 69 when he sold it to me. He'd just bought an RF Miata.

Brings to mind a story about my younger brother (he is about 74 years old), 6'1" and in good condition. He has a 1967 Corvette Stingray, that he has restored. He mentioned he had power steering installed in his car .... because it was getting too hard for him to steer -
