lol I squash teenagers in the back of my BRZ all the time. They sit sideways and splay their legs along the seats lengthwise. As long as they’re buckled in, it’s all good. I like to say that the BRZ fits three people, or four people if two of them are willing to remove their legs and put them in the trunk.

I drove an SI while I was shopping for a new car, but my head kept hitting the ceiling.  I’m a hair under 6'0.  That was odd.  I would have had to lean the seat way back to be comfortable in that car.  In contrast, my tiny little BRZ is like a Tardis inside - plenty of room for all of my limbs and my head.  

Welp this won’t happen in Oregon, since we still have to interact with a human being who pumps our gas for us.  

I did this on Saturday for my holiday party, using the recipe for the Fizzy Communist I saw on this very site! I mixed the gin & cherry liqueur in a pitcher, and then just had to top up each glass with a little 7-up.  Then when I ran out of 7-up, it was simple to just turn the pitcher into a traditional Communist…

Hey, thanks so much for this recipe. I served it for my holiday party this weekend and it was a huge hit! I pitchered the gin & cherry liqueur, poured each guest a small amount on the rocks, and then topped with 7-up. It worked beautifully. When I ran out of 7-up, I turned the mixture into a standard communist by…

There’s only so many times I can tell the kid they bring dishonor on my house...

You’ll have to teach him how to sit on a chair in the weirdest possible way.

Japanese dead wet girl movies have been scaring me senseless since Ringu, so yeah, I’ll see this one.  

I don’t know if this is psychosomatic or what, but I get serious brain fog when I chew gum containing artificial sugars, especially while driving. It feels like the world is...somewhere else. I don’t know how to explain it. It’s like my eyes are in my brain and working, but what’s outside doesn’t reach some…

well that’s just, like, your opinion, man.

I was lucky enough to see the Pacific Northwest premiere of this at the HP Lovecraft Film Festival in Portland last month with Stanley in attendance. It’s a mind-blowing film, and it was cool to hear Stanley’s stories about how he adapted the Lovecraft story, the changes he made, and working with Nicholas Cage.…

Was this the GUTS one?  I grew up in Tulsa and that place was pretty legendary.  Being a gay Jew, I stayed away from it, but I heard a lot of stories.  

I recently traded in my 2012 GTI for a 2014 BRZ. Lots of reasons why, but I felt like it was OK because I was at a point where the trade-in value of the GTI was equal to or slightly more than I owed on my loan (although I had to play some hardball with the dealership to make them give me enough for my trade to pay it…

Hi, 40 year old gay nerd dad here. I drive one of these and I do none of those things.

Well that’s just, like, your opinion, man.

Straight lines are boring.  The BRZ is made for corners and twisty back roads.  That’s where the fun is.

As the former owner of a MKVII GTI...

Agreed, this car would suck with an automatic. Source: I own a BRZ with a stick, and it’s a grin machine.

Currently train in wing chun kung fu. Our punches are quick and whip-like and you don’t see them coming. We don’t blade when we fight (we fight facing our opponents straight on), so we have equal power on both sides (i.e. we don’t have a jab and a cross), and we attack & defend simultaneously. Wing chun is designed to…

Who the heck is Ryan Wyden?  Might want to check that...
