Though I was to old for the FR-S. What's you age.... - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Ok. This is awesome. I don't feel like I'm tiring to hard to hold on to my youth. I love my new FR-S RS 2.0. I liked the 1.0 but just seemed a little to Fast and Furious to me.

That's funny. My wife said the same thing. I was on the fence between a Focus ST or the FR-S. My wife said " if your going to have a mid life crisis, get the car that looks the part." Lol.

If you buy the car when you're younger you're a "try hard ricer drift racer wannabe" if you buy the car when you're older you're "trying to hold onto your youth"... So going by what society tells me there's never a good time to buy this car

61 officially, but I started counting backwards 4 years ago so I'll say 53. At this rate, My daughter will be older than me in about 12 years.

Nigelr32 · 05-28-2016, 12:31 PM

53, and i have two 86's, but I also have a Fiesta ST.

Youre never too old for an '86 in the UK. It has a lot of respect here, but is renowned for being underpowered.

Well at least the furious part.

I am so sick of hearing "ohhhho mid life crises eh." It is an inexpensive econo coupe not a freakin' Ferrari or Vette.

This ^^^ all day long. The car was targeted at the younger pre family crowd AND the older empty nesters with some disposable income and no need for passenger room or have a second more "practical" vehicle yet we are the two groups that take the most flak for owning it.

So just as the title says....How old are we?

I'm 41, my dad got his FRS before me.

32. I have a 5 year old son and 2.5 year old daughter. I have a booster for my son and when I take both kids out I just take the minivan.

I also cross shopped the ST siblings but got the FRS because i wanted a more pure sports car. Both the Subaru and scion camps have their fill of undesirable enthusiasts and there is literally nothing on the BRZ that makes it go faster or handle better. I got a smoking deal on my Halo 15 w/ cpo warranty so I jumped on it.

Another one of these threads? I'm an undead vampire lord. 3012 tomorrow.

Honestly, age is just a number. Always enjoy life and don't let the number hold you back from things you love.

As long as your healthy you will always feel young!

So don't do drugs and get drunk everyday and look after your body.
