Some people think I'm crazy for buying this car being married with two young kids.

BTW I'm 29 and work in the Software Development area.

You are not crazy. I have a 4 year old and a 1 year old... Both girls. I love them like crazy, and I'm also a sports car fanatic. My wife thinks I'm crazy, and so does the world... But I stopped caring about what others thought about me a long time ago.

I'm thankful the FR-S has two small back seats so I can squeeze in my kids anytime I want to drive THE sports car.

By the way, I'm only 26. I'm thankful and fortunate for the opportunity of taking over and operating my family businesses in the hospitality industry.

Thanks for creating this thread since I'm sure there are many folks like us in the sports car world.

Also, I feel like telling that salesman of yours that youth is all in the mind... But I'll find that truth out as my age progresses.

Thanks for that.

My wife thinks I'm crazy as well. On the other hand she drives the Z71 Tahoe/Kid carrier. She doesn't understand my love of cars. She just gives me the "grow up" phrase LOL. I guess I will never grow out of loving cool cars. I do well for myself and provide well for my family and don't see anything wrong with enjoying some things I like.

Kids are 6 and 3
