Red Trail 50 is the first motorocycle I ever had. Had a blast on it even when I upgraded to a Yamahas gt80, and then the YZ250. Wish I still had it! |

I had a '91 civic h/b for 17 years then a scion xa for 9 years then bought the FRS.
I will run the FRS to the ground before I buy another new car. Told myself this is the last car I'd buy. But if I ever have to buy another car it'll be 2nd hand Lexus sedan. |

I doubt they'll produce it in a 6-sp, that's the only reason my mom didn't buy the new Z4, they dropped the manual trans model and bigger engine.

If a second generation came out, I'd go test drive it at the very least, and consider upgrading (if it we're actually an upgrade) Keeping mine as long as possible otherwise. I have other cars for functional purposes so no need to get rid of the toy.

But then again, if Toyota comes out with a true second generation, after seeing the folly of their BMW co-production ways, with a newer, better chassis on top of a new Toyota drivetrain (with 3-pedal 6M/T, of course), then sign me up! Last edited by MrDinkleman; 02-28-2019 at 11:41 PM. |

I think just like the e36, I'll end up buying the highest mileage early production models I can find every time one of my cars rusts out. I wish a Scion trim came with heated seats...

It's not really vintage, it's just old. It happens to be more of a motorbike. 1970 Honda CT90 (Trail 90). Bullet proof bike. It survived me, my two sons and my daughter. - I paid $325 for it brand new in 1970. One like it - the real one, is buried behind Lord knows what in the basement. humfrz |

Nobody has any idea if the BMW venture was a "folly" yet. The things may fly off the shelf. They will not be making their own low run sports cars ever again. Those days are gone I am afraid.

PM me if you're serious. I live just east of SYR. I love my FR-S and hadn't really thought of selling it, but I have too many cars and could be persuaded.

i'm not interested in a new model. i'm not even interested in the '17 refresh. the mandatory reverse camera's in all newer cars means they all need screens, and screens suck. i also don't like the steering wheel controls.
my brz was totaled once, and i bought another while the ink was still wet on the insurance check. and i'd do it again if i had to. this car is the newest-oldest car i've had an interest in. except for certain things, it's a very analog car in the way it handles, something that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in newer vehicles. i've got $10 and a kitkat bar...
