Goodbye 86, I'll miss you! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Due to a bunch of circumstances, I had to get rid of my beloved FRS.

It was a fun car, but I just couldn't own it anymore. I'm starting a family, the small town cops in my area have nothing better to do than harass people in sporty cars even when they aren't breaking any laws, my insurance is about to skyrocket, and I'm saving a huge amount money by downgrading to a different car.

I present to you: my 2013 Hyundai Accent SE 6 speed manual:

It's a huge difference, but it just needed to be done. Truth be told, for the price this is a great little car. The 6 speed manual trans is very good and it keeps the car pretty engaging and fun to drive. I plan on lowering it and putting a set of Buddy Clubs on it.

It sucks to go, but sometimes life happens and you just have to roll with it. I am going to miss the 86 and the community around it.

How much did you lose on the frs?

grodenglaive · 05-29-2013, 07:38 PM

Hopefully one day you shall return.

Could be worse you could have moved to a van or a crossover, or even worse a Corolla. 6 speed at least you can still mash the gears.

I had zero options on my FRS, so I paid 24,995 or something. I got a little over 21,000 on trade in... It could have been a lot worse.

Yeah, I was determined to stay with a manual trans. Me and my fiance are really tiny people, so we can fit a family inside of the little mini wagon.

Yup, 4x100... I have a set of Buddy Clubs that I'm gunna throw on her... I'd offer to buy something, but right now saving money is key. And since I already have the Buddy Clubs, it is an obvious choice!

Should of sold your wife instead, those are more easy to find then an FRS.

Women cost more too...

stanm · 05-29-2013, 08:30 PM

Sorry for your loss
Korean cars have come a long way!

I would tell the cops to put the badge and gun down, and lets see who the real man is.

(then I'd get pummeled into submission.)
