So, you've averaged about 3 a year since 16? Commitment issues?

I wish. The one thing I'll never do is add up all the losses lol.

48 yrs old. Just put a deposit on a bRed manual premium coming in a few weeks at the local dealer after shopping more expensive options.

I love driving and am lucky to not care too much about my age or what car brand looks cooler to others but it is funny to hear what coworkers think about "going backwards" since I have been lucky to have quite a few "cool" cars in the eyes of non-enthusiasts.

I track whatever I own at least a few times a year, and one of the main things that got me interested in the 86 was how ridiculously over priced sports cars are right now and the fact that I thought back on my yearly track day (we rent Roebling Road Raceway for ourselves once a year) and out of cars like the GT350, Golf R, 991.1 GT3, ZL1, Corvette, etc. I had the most fun in the last 10 years in a 2016 ND miata. Owned a 2013 FRS so hoping this fixes the few minor things I thought needed fixin.

Btw I thought I was bad at 74 vehicles owned including 17 motorcycles. Not sure how you have owned 91 in the last 11 years but congrats! DMV, paperwork and getting my cars dialed in properly (and work) keeps me governed to just a few a year these days!

(the secret to exiting it is to place one foot on the ground then push off the door and do a "vertical combat roll" down along the side of the car till you get both feet planted) -

I remember you off this forum when i bought my 13 BRZ. Glad to see you still here.

Hello all,


i'm "only" 37, but have had a C5Z06 for over ten years now. so by now i'm kinda done with the midlife crisis car thing


i'm strongly considering a GR86 since I moved to the city and have no space for two cars anymore. I also have a Fiesta ST which was my daily until i moved a few weeks ago. Not really using either car these days... but i still want a fun car for a nice drive on the weekend during summer and the occasional daily duties.
