Okay I've convinced myself that despite the ugly ass rear end of the twins, I would probably like to have one for my purposes.

However depreciation is still a concern. My MR2 has maybe lost like 1k in value over the last 2 years. I think a 2013 FRS would probably be shedding 2k a year at this point, which is a lot.

Maybe I can get an old beater G35 or BMW 325 for a year and then grab an FRS when they come down a little more.

Its really not that bad. I was up to normal in 4 days - and as long as you take the meds that you are prescribed, there will be minimal pain. just discomfort.

Just remember to TAKE THE DAMN meds. Even if you don't need them right then, make a schedule and stick to it. Don't take too many, but do the recommended, no less.

Well, I had planned on putting it off until after the wedding, October 5th, but I guess one of them got infected and now has a huge hole in it. I have a terrible tooth ache and it's just a nagging pain. I have a pretty high pain tollerance, but I can't sleep at night because of it.

I've been reading up on it, and I think it should go over well because all are fully exposed and just chillin there like a bitch who doesn't pay rent. It should be like pulling any other tooth out. But I'm no dentist and I also don't know how the roots are under my gums.

I'm hoping that a month will be plently of time to recover from it. Don't want to look bad for the wedding.

You have exactly 0% to worry about. I had all 4 of mine removed at the same time, and we had to talk the surgeon into it, because apparently mine were so badly wrapped around the nerve that he didn't want the liability of operating on a minor. Even with that, it was 4/5 days and I was back up.

In a month, it will be nothing but a distant memory. If you are really worried about swelling for those 4 days, just buy a bunch of ice packs before the surgery, and keep your cheeks on 24/7 ice (not the frozen hard ones, but the ones that get cold and pliable so it can mold to your jaw). It also helps with the "ache" termondsly. Drugs, ice, and pudding for a little under a week, and you will be fine.

A month is way more than enough. For me, I had them knock me out with general anaesthesia, had 4 teeth pulled at once, and all the swelling was gone in under 2 weeks, and I was feeling okay after 1. They even kind of messed up my jaw hinge too.
