Well, I'd say you are all set with vehicles -

And the Bots, cant forget them posting interesting off topic sites..

Had to check this one out as im partial to them scarlet BRZ's...

Liked the revue on what to expect for the different scenarios, was waiting for the winter scenes not just the talk of snow.. (my car just got stored for them nasty months today,
Ski is go for the weekend here)

He liked the black steelies look for winter.? Better looking wheels can be had for just a bit more for that purpose.
My 18 yr old rusty has a better look without black steelies.

That cabin filter service bill ! Kind of relate to that as My Subaru dealer has been pushing unneeded service items since my first service.
I keep telling them the items have been replaced on my other car and they stop pestering the confused senile old hippy.

I ended up with a Lotus Elise. Smaller, lighter, more engaging, and more fun.

Do what I did and put a inokinetic 111RS suspension with monoballs, rear sway bar, rear links, chassis brace, New coilovers, fast arms, etc. On that Elise and take it to the next level.

That's all find and dandy, but, isn't it about time for a new paint job?

If you think that's bad there is an Exige up on BaT right now that I find very off putting.

It actually is in pretty good shape, just very ugly. Unfortunately it's paint, and not vinyl. Probably wouldn't be too outrageously expensive to put back to all yellow. The dark film over the blinkers and side markers is just stupid. Hopefully the carbon fiber things on the steering wheel will come off without damage. The seats and under carriage look in very good shape.

I've driven an Elise with a newer Katana. They are a quality product. Hopefully you could add a cat to get rid of the engine light without having to re-tune.

Ugliness and engine light should lower the price a bit, but Exige are getting pretty high prices these days.

honestly it's fine as is. Instead I'm dropping 5 or 6 thousand fixing the HVAC, blower motor, and heater core which are all destroyed.
