Ive waited a very long time, and finally the time has come, enthusiast s are being handed their keys after a long 5 year wait(well some of us have been waiting that long), personally back then I didnt know wether or not the concept would have gotten this far...

Im glad 5 years ago when I was 16 I decided to put away 4k every year as a hope this car would make it to show room floors, I was broke up until I was 18 and was able to get a better job, and I feel like its paid off...

Also I saw another special trait about this car, its a dream car you can actually afford... Not some 100k 200k car or a million dollar exotic... But still carried the traits of a ground up purpose built car(despite the fact it doesnt have a million HP)

My FRS will be here on my birthday and will be the 5 year anniversary of my very patient wait

I can gladly say im one of the few people who got to see and drive the frs/BRZ that wasn't a magazine reviewer or one of the lucky 86, in a way that makes me even more lucky, on my birthday I will be turning 21 and ill be having a beer to celbrate 5 years, a lot of luck, and to give a silent toast to tada to thank him because I have a love for 90s sport coupes but wasnt old enough to enjoy them when they were new, and how the frs gives my generation a chance to live that genuine experience

I plan to enjoy this car for the next 50 years or untill we run out of petrol...

Thanks tada :happy0180: cheers

Congrats man. Refreshing to see a young person save up for their dream car vs taking on instant debt. I am happy for you. When do you get the keys?

ngabdala · 05-16-2012, 06:15 PM

Very happy for you. Don't drink and drive. That's all for now

Dark_Angle · 05-16-2012, 06:16 PM

Actually im going 10k down to build credit, lol... I have the money but no credit... So this will also be a good stepping stone to getting a house one day

That is smart. If you really want to build credit fast, pay off that loan as fast as you can

It will also save you lots of money in interest payments. Also make sure you get an autoloan that has no pre-payment penalty. It is pretty rare to see them now, but they still exist (where you have to pay a penalty to pay your loan off early).

Exhaust and I are getting first dibs on rides!

Exhaust can sit in the backseat...

Someone is being really smart here

I'm doing something very similar an it's a refreshing feeling.

Dark_Angle · 05-16-2012, 06:27 PM

build credit = more interest paid over time. Don't pay it off asap.

MrFRsLa · 05-16-2012, 06:30 PM

Good for you man! If your ever in LA let me know and I'll come blow your doors off! This a late B Day present for me as well. Just turned 23 in April. Yeah don't drink and drive!!! And pull a drift for MrFRsLA!

I like this guy. Such passion and patience. At his age I would have caved into another car by now.
