The 86 is starting to show some signs of aging. The hood is covered in white speckles where the red paint has chipped, and it definitely makes a lot more groans and moans than it used to. It also needs new struts. Other than that it runs as good as the first day I drove it. It would have to have a catastrophic failure for me to get rid of it at this point. It has no real value as a trade-in. I am looking to replace it as my daily eventually, and have an order for a Cadillac LYRIQ, but that is slow going. I've been #1 for an allocation at my dealer now for almost 2 months, original order placed in May, 2022!

990200 yesterday. Still works fine. Got new Continentals for it two weeks ago.
Developed a squeak in the clutch pedal assembly. I spent an hour or so playing contortionist spraying down everything I could get to with teflon. Was still squeaking and I gave up, sweating, sore and out of sorts. Yesterday it wasn't squeaking anymore. Apparently seeped into the part making noise overnight. Last vehicle was a '95 Dodge Grand Caravan. Drove that for 19 years before the FR-S. Keeping up with basic maintenance helps, along with very little municipal salt on the roads. Not crashing is a big plus too.

Cars been dropped off for hail damage PDR work. Was told "3* days" which means 3 days work and I lose the car for 2-3 weeks for whatever reason.
They're likely to scratch stuff up so insurance said they'd pay to have the car(me) recoated. |

I hope they used OEM scratches rather than aftermarket ones.
