Insane. You are my hero. At 16? Wow. Unless your parent bought it for you... not that there's anything wrong with that right??


It would be nice if you answered even vaguely, for the under 18 owners, how you afforded a FD.


Thank you

Got mine a little over a year ago I think. I was 17 and had been searching for the right one for 3 years. Decided I had to have one at 15. Had my dad pay for it in whole so we avoided paying interest. The interest we would have paid was slightly reduced and pasted on to me, I have to pay my dad back in monthly payments with some interest. Either way, I'm one of the few people I know that has one of my dream cars already. Actually the only people I know that already have their dream car are all rotary owners.

I see Red95FD are in the same boat or at least floating close from the Titanic. Got mine at 45. Took me more than half my life to be able to afford a sports car. Bought used with 4000 miles in 93 or 94. Too old to remember and too tired to check the title.

hmm may I ask what business you are running?


Also, anyone regret their purchase? If so, for what reason?
