Finally pulled the trigger.
I was so thrilled to see the Performance Package option released last year, and was lucky enough to grab a great deal on a new 2017 Limited PP in Crystal White Pearl as the model year came to a close. The BRZ has always intrigued me, but like many, I was initially put off by the relatively low numbers on the spec sheet. Needless to say, numbers don't matter on a car like this. I've never had so much fun with an vehicle in my life. That includes the 15 minute F430 drive I was lucky enough to experience a few summer's ago.
Bought new with 4 miles on the clock. It will see about 50/50 track/road use around the PNW area. Looking forward to sharing the journey with everyone. The first few months are all about getting to know the car, getting some proper lessons at the track, and of course stockpiling all of the parts.
