The story that lead me to my FR-S! WARNING: Extremely long read ahead! - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Amazing story. This sounds like something I'd read to my kids (when and if I have them).

I'm doing my wheel/tire and suspension upgrades all at the same time, so I'll be sure to give my .02 cents on that when I can

Great post!
It helps reading posts like this in confirming this will be my next purchase in the spring.

Read your whole story! Got more interesting with the 5.0 as I was considering one when buying the FRS they were both the same price (used) but I couldn't get myself to like the "boat" feeling of the stang. Got even MORE interesting when I saw the NA as I recently picked one up to be my daily and track car (86 garage queen).

LOL thanks for the write up and entertaining read. You cracked me up when you were like I MUST HAVE THIS CAR! it was fun reading how you kept trial and error-ing multiple cars til you finally reached this winning formula which the FRS nails. I, like you, have a problem with being kinda fickle with cars and want to own every car out there and want to jump from one to the next. I like your passion and your post reminded me of why this car is special. Hope you keep your FRS for years to come. I will be subbing to your build if you do one.
