As stated above, $25K, PLUS the availability of a suitable replacement (ie Nissan 240 if it ever makes it to market).

To me it's more than a car....it's the symbol of a whole lot of sacrifices I made to myself my family and my country. Sacrifices that have ended my military career. I bought this car because I deserve it. It's more reward than 14 years of service will ever be.....so yeah....I'm in my FR-S for the long haul.

Hell yeah!!

It would take a severe change in lifestyle (ie loss of job) for me to get rid of mine. It was a delayed promotion present for me, so I have no plans of getting rid of it!

as one who plays the lottery often, i think about this all the time. i would have a garage/house custom built to fit all the toys i want (zenvo zs1, lamborghini aventador & reventon, the veyron, V12 vanquish, rolls royce phantom, the list goes on and on)

a part of me wants to say i would have the zenvo as my daily but im already paranoid when it comes to the frs and door dings. in reality it would be my "sunday car" and i would keep the frs as my daily.

as of right now, nothing can make me part with it. i think i would have to literally lose both my legs and wouldnt be able to drive it. i plan on keeping till the next "coolest" car comes out.

Moving to Australia.

Then I'd buy a Toyota 86 GTS.

Tt3Sheppard · 12-25-2012, 12:51 PM

For me it would have to be if I lost my job and couldn't afford the payments, if the car started having cels every week. Besides that I'm keeping it until it explodes. I think everyone here knows this will probably be one of the last cars of its kind. New govt standards are forcing automakers to make boring heavy cars. Oh and hopefully by the time the supra comes out I will make enough to afford it. Supra dd and frs track car

If the designers of our twins follow the rules that seem to have been established over the many decades we've had automobiles, they held back on the design of a few items, in the production of our cars, that they were already aware of but were wanting to save for another year to make the follow up (2014) model appear much "improved" over the original (2013) model. If they do as I suspect they will, a few of the things I know they will improve is the third brake light and the seat belt attachment to the seats. If they correct those things along with getting rid of the Corolla knobs on the dash board I'll probably trade my present model in on one of them.

Wes · 12-25-2012, 01:20 PM

I would only part if this car gave me problems constantly, but other than that I plan to keep it even if I do get another car.

root · 12-25-2012, 04:27 PM

Two FR-S's.
A KPGC10.
I suppose if something big happened in my life, yes I'd get rid of it, because in the end its just a car, but it'd take a lot.
