Aren't all BRZs WRB? They made other colours?

Hell, I had a buddy that was stopped three cars up in line when a truck hit them all and shoved him into the car in front of him. The insurance company found he was 10% "at fault" because he "obviously" did not leave enough space between him and the STOPPED car in front. Made no difference with our no fault insurance but pissed him off royally.

Good to know, and a big WTF. The amount of rage I would exude towards the insurance company would be immeasurable.

Oh yes there was rage. He was going to fight it but it would have cost a fortune to argue something that didn't really impact hi (no pun intended) in any way so just dropped it.
My wife flat out rear ended a guy with her RVR but lucked out since he never even stopped or showed up at the reporting center so she was never charged. Did $14,000 damage to her car so he had to have had something with his. We figure there was something shady about him and that was why he didn't stop or report.

If he waits a few more months there will be a nice Lava FRS for sale!

Haha... I want to.. especially a brand new one with the G-force meter and all but... Unfortunately, the right thing to do is not spend more money than I have on a car lol

I've considered all other options and you just can't beat a twin for less than 10Gs... you just can't. there's nothing online or new that will look as good, go as fast autocrossing and be that close to track-ready for that price. Miatas are even almost around that price now and lord knows they're fast but I can't go from an frs to a toy car that doesn't make sense.

As far as used examples go I don't mind frs/brz/86 I just want the cheapest one I can find that hasn't been modded too much in the wrong ways.

If I haven't found anything by then... who knows.
Side note are you planning on getting another one or something else?

I have my name on a Hakone edition when they show up. Probably not until late in the year according to the dealer.

Will be selling my FRS for $1,000 over whatever the dealer offers me for trade in value so it will be a deal.

Actually it is better than that. I shouldn't have grabbed the first pic I saw before since that is just a shopped FRS not the real thing

Immediately googled it and found that article as well looks amazing inside and out... now watching youtube videos of McLarens on the Hakone road in Japan... yet another place added to the driving bucket list it seems!

@TorontoNat , I advise you take this. It might smell like old inside, but nothing a good detail couldn't fix.

I hope it works out for you! I can’t imagine not driving this car now.
