Ok, Ok ... touché. I just meant, I like driving a car that you don't see everywhere. For instance, when myself and a few of my friends went to London to go to college for a semester, the FIRST thing I remember after leaving the bus station (bus picked us up at the airport) was seeing a brand new Porsche 911 and a Ferrari 360 (this was in 02 so the 360 was still in production). We immediately took pictures of the cars. But as the days went on we realized that at least 50% of the cars we saw around there were Porsche, Ferrari, high end BMW and Mercedes. It got old. I ended up getting more excited seeing Integra/Civic Type R's and GT-Fours. Now, the 911 is right up there in my book with the 350z, Corvette (regular or Z06), Camaro SS, and Firebird WS6. They're nice enough that my eye picks them up, but my level of desire for them is a 2 or 3 out of 10; "It's just another ..." is what I say to myself. I'm even mildly like that to lower end Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Vipers (I'm around the Bills and the Sabre's players a lot and my uncle has 2 Vipers and a Ferrari). Point is, I don't want that to happen to the FR-S/BR-Z. I don't want it to become another TC/WRX that I see everywhere and think "Great ... another one of those ...".
