Of course. As you said, if trying to impress other people is what a person likes and wants, then it's completely their right to buy whatever car they want to do that.

I'm certainly not a psychologist, and could use the services of one. But I think along the same lines as @PenGun and @Capt_Spaulding. If the main motivation in buying a car (or anything else) is primarily what others might think of it, more than a person's own intrinsic liking of it, I think there might be healthier ways of addressing a sense of low self-esteem.

It's like when I was in high school, and I got rid of a Ford Pinto and bought a 1969 Mustang Fastback. I thought it would be easier to get dates. At the time I was choosing between the Mustang and a Saab 99. I also happened to like the Mustang, but one of the reasons I chose it was because I thought it was a 'hotter' car and I would likewise be seen as 'hotter' by the girls at school.

I was woefully wrong.

Me too, but I'm a few yrs younger. U gotta try autoX.

I’ve noticed a lot of the YouTube BRZ videos are kids anywhere from 18-25ish. But maybe that is more to do with younger kids videoing themselves.

I’m 30, FWIW

Yes, I agree. We youngins love filming our install videos and posting them on You-Tube.

I sampled autox a couple times in a school car, and did very well. I'm liking my road course focus, tho.

As long as were having fun!

I tried having fun once. I hated it.

Bought my FR-S at the age of 55. 60 now. I drive a lot. Don't race. Like driving in winter in snow. Don't like it when other people drive in winter in snow around me.

Just disappears. And all that's left is a body moving through space and time. 7,000 RPM. That's where you meet it. You feel it coming. It creeps up on you, close in your ear. Asks you a question. The only question that matters. Who are you?
