You nailed my considerations precisely. I do LOVE Fist. But with 55% residual (based on Ford's financial 36 months, 10500mi/year), it seems that RX-8 is quite a steal compared to FiST, even if the wenkel ends up needs rebuilding. FiST is not a "comparatively cheap" car to own. I love it but I can't seem to pull the trigger.

That must be nice, my wife is very open minded and reasonable, but always has the veto hammer handy
It is called trying to stay married. I m not that patient. In the process of thinking getting a FiST, we have got two cars: we switched her daily driver and I got another muscle car.Seriously, it's great to have choices like this! I wish I had your patience and discipline when it comes to cars. I spend/waste money on cars, but it's a passion I don't have to justify to ANYBODY.
Those two she was positive or at least positive-leaning.
But every time I bring up FiST I get hammered although I have got probably the best deal for FiST known to mankind. She keeps saying things like "the car looks too small for you," "it looks goofy,I don't like the front grill," lI dont like the colors (there were only white and black)," You can get it if you lose x lbs and can fit to the recaro seat,"
..... Ironically, we and her parents are Ford investors in the stock market and I love Ford muscle cars (well, I like all muscle cars but I know Fords the best).
Can't seem to get my squaw squared. Help? I m still trying to get a FiST and the current incentives are gonna end soon.
Life took an unexpected turn. It turned out that i really like FiST. Pulled a trigger and it's parked at home now. Thought wouldn't get a black, ended up with a black. Thought would go with a base car, went with a loaded car. Thought would go with dealer A or B or C, ended up with my neighborhood (same zip code!) dealer.
As a note, a side story, two weeks ago many dealers had plenty FiST. This week, it is rarer than a sober guy at an Ohio State tailgate party (Go Bucks!).
As another side story, one dealer let me go home with only $400 price difference, not even trying to counter my offer. Today they repeatedly called saying they were cutting the price. Too late, buddy.
Anyway, I am happy. I am a FiST owner now.
