Interesting. I wouldn't call any of those options especially easy for the average buyer, and I could see some difficulty convincing a dealer to "disable" something unless Toyota makes it pretty clear it's not an issue (even something so small).

If Toyota service declines, a Subaru service will do it. They might ask you to pay for it though. |

EVs are superior in almost every way. If you want a last hurrah, an F-Type is gonna be a lot more of a blast and a lot more of a keeper than a new twin, unless you do track days. For track days, a twin.

Hard to justify dropping $50k on a car that will be driven a few thousand miles per year. |

It’s a want not a need clearly. Not trying to talk you into it, because the market is nuts now. Justifying spending on wants is always hard, if you really want it and the experience brings you happiness, then the money is meaningless. Or just look at the 50k in the bank, if that makes you happy.

We only have four cars. We do now work out of the home again, though, and have to drive kids. We're finally putting some miles on again.

That said, the 74 RSR is a COMPLETELY different car than a 991 GT3. If you asked about a late 964 vs 993 or a 996 vs 997.1, that would be a more apt comparison. We're talking about a car that is almost the same, we could call this 2022 a heavy facelift if you go by other manufacturer's standards. BMW and Porsche both love introducing new engines in a facelift. |

But I also like all the spare cash vs when I had a track car and two different daily drivers. It allows me to do random stuff like, "Oh Jim Jefferies will be here this weekend, I'll get us tickets and make a reservation at a nice place." IE, not a big deal to randomly drop $400-500 without needing to budget for it. We don't have kids. So that's not a concern. I am thinking about trading our one car in on a new truck and getting a travel trailer, so we can be out of the house for big stretches and still work. |

Good luck with the box truck when someone steals it in the middle of the night?
Gotta re-sell all those potential cartons of cigarettes.

Some of those vans would blend in down by the river.
