Bought a 2011 Scion xB fall of 2010. It was a huge downgrade from several new Acuras previously and then a new 2008 Accord EXLV6 which had a cheap plastic interior compared to my 05 TSX. Long story short, decided the xB would be a really efficient little pinball machine hauler as I was buying/selling/restoring pinball machines at the time as a hobby. It did lack excitement, however.

Was really bored with the xB and starting to tire of constantly tinkering with and moving 300 lb pinball machines in and out my basement.

Casually surfing the web for something related to Scion and discovered the news an FR sportscar was hitting the market a month or two before it went on sale. That got me thinking. Sold off my 4 most valuable pinballs I was willing to part with for $23,500. cash. Put a down payment on the FR-S the day it went on sale. Joined the forum around the same time I placed the order.
