That did not look like very much fun.

You should be very, very proud of yourself for getting through that without turning green and looking totally miserable.

The problem is how the small startup auto builders tend to act. They try to gussy themselves up and project an image like the established players instead of embracing who and what they are. This lends them to say things that peg the BS meters on people that know the industry and promise things that can't be delivered…

The BRZ reminds me a lot of the 2001 BMW 330 in terms of feel at the limit. It'll push if your off throttle, but is mostly neutral. The difference is when you get on the gas, that mechanical LSD will make it rotate no problem. I really like how it never does anything spooky no matter what surface its on (except gravel…

@#$%ing crickets! The service departments keeps telling me that its normal, I keep asking why the car didn't make that noise when I bought it. I loathe that noise so much, it sounds like a belt is slipping and it's intermittent enough that it catches me off guard

Well, that's not my biggest complaint... and I've mostly gotten over the crappy infotainment system since I just started using it as a Bluetooth receiver for my phone only.

Lemme tell you, I own one and its really that shitty. The BRZ infotainment system wouldn't have been considered good in 2003.

That just about happend to me in an International Scout a few years back. My buddy picked me up in the truck the day after he got it and the first corner we took cause me to slide across the vinyl bench seat, thumping into the door, which popped open. That left me dangling out the side of the truck hanging on the rain…

He was just demonstrating how to properly say the car's name... "I-BENT-a-DOOR"

I applaud and support your realistic yet outlandish goal.

Wow. I have nightmares about doing stuff like that.

This. My petrol powered toys get more attention from dudes than chicks. I came to terms with that when I was 16.

Because you spent a ton of money on the fast car and you can't afford or park a comfortable car too.

... 56 percent of women view men who drive exotic or fast cars as being show-offs or arrogant ...

Maybe, but that would require Detriot PD to actually do something. So, no.

I own a BRZ, this thread reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend the other day.

Not true... plenty of people will have that view at track days... particularly at the end of straightaways.

You can't pay off victims families to avoid going to jail in the US and that's not what happened here. The criminal and civil cases were separate. The criminal case happened and then five of the families or victims chose to settle for the ammount offered rather than pursue a civil suit.

Those settlements must have been huge for the other victims and their families to walk away. They are going to get destroyed in a civil trial, seems like the criminal defense practically teed it up.

Don't talk to me like you know me.
