Never being one to follow the cheap car guy, I've made a firm decision to buy a car in the spring. Not a replacement car, not something because my other cars are unreliable, but a more fun car. The car will be a silver Subaru BRZ limited with a 6 speed manual transmission and I'll spring for the factory car cover. As I head into retirement, it's ultra clear that we have way more than we need. I've had toy cars at many times in my life, so this isn't new. I haven't had one since selling my Lotus Elise while my son was in expensive private engineering college. This is a good, practical choice for me. Other cars under serious consideration were a Porsche 718 Cayman GT4, a new Lotus Emira and a Nissan GT-R. The Subaru matches what I like. Low cost, good handling, hard top, no sunroof, manual seats, not drawing a ton of attention. I'm looking forward for the new design to hit the showrooms soon and will wait out the winter and my post-accident medical treatments, then go buy one.
