Do it. I use to live across from Elizabeth Simcoe School in south Scarborough. There was a teacher that drove a Hummer who only lived 3 blocks away. Home for lunch to boot. Probably used more gas just to start than the actual drive.
Will you lose much on your current car if you sell it to buy the BRZ?
You nailed it.
Probably at least one gtam member. Not sure what his current user name is as he starts a new account every few months.
I personally love the look of the new Z. They’ll sell them for sure. But the dealers will get greedy and toss on thousands of additions to the car so they get much more over MSRP.
Between roadside assistance, ride-sharing, and online meetings, there's a lot less risk these days than it was back in the 80's.
The higher spec versions are pretty nice (and a quarter million dollars or more). 100K is no longer exotic, but 250 is probably still in the club.
I guess a lot depends on what you consider necessary traits of an "exotic" car. Personally, I am more interested in something that blends in visually but is exciting to drive. I understand if someone wants an exotic to be loud and bright to show off.
I don't know about that. A mini with a busa motor (or vintage muscle car with EV swap or . . .) may fit that definition and I consider it in no way "exotic". I think there needs to be some extension of that definition to include an eye-watering price when new. Is a cheap "exotic" possible? Maybe an Alfa 4C? I don't consider it exotic but you sure don't see a lot of them and it looks strikingly different.
