I know this is me venting and all, I get it. But when are people going to be tired of banging this same old drum? And how many teenagers have 35k lying around? Did I miss out on a childhood?
I'm in my 30's, have a BRZ, going to get the GR86 next year, and the notion that to own such a car as an adult is a preposterous act. As an adult I finally have a few dollars and continue to be fiscally irresponsible so I can do things like, afford this car.
The weird vociferousness that results from this car is something I suppose I'm not made to understand. As far as I know no one goes around saying things such as "wow, see that Mustang? not designed as a momentum car. It's useless."
and the engine, the continued wild speculation regarding the failure rates is astonishing to me, and the "need" to immediately engine swap. As far as I know, and some of the tech papers from Toyota stated that the outgoing model is a terminal chassis literally designed around the FA20 engine to keep the weight low, so why then would you put an inline or something other than a boxer into it?
While I can own up to me complaining and screaming out into the abyss, is all of this stuff pretty commonplace with car enthusiasts? I always thought it would be pretty fun to discuss parts/potential mods, but the car community, as a whole, has been a little off-putting. Or the, "you know you could have bought..."
