Nice. Looks like its still in good shape. BTW, was that the STI that was going for $2,400?

Correction: that STi will be clean after I get it to Driven Perfection next week. Right now it's a filthy mess!

Haha, no I'm afraid not. Though there is one for sale in NH for $14k with 200k miles on it, LOL

Since summer is coming to an end, I've always wanted a lobster roll. Not CT style with butter, but with mayo. Anyone have any suggestions?

Sorry to say, but time to delete me from the registry. Much as I LOVE this car (BRZ WR Blue 6MT Limited), it's just too impractical for me as my only car. It would make an ideal second car, but too many compromises for everyday transportation… not enough room for my 21 yr old in the back, the wonderfully taut suspension is grinding my kidneys to dust on drives to NYC from central CT, don't want to take it out of the garage in the snow, won't fit much more than a big pack of paper towels from Sam's Club in the trunk, etc. I'm gonna miss it like hell, but one good thing about it is that it's retained its resale value pretty well; getting $24k for trading it in after 9 months and 7500 miles (for a 2011 certified pre-owned Audi A4 Quattro, if you care).
Now, no getting on my case that I'm an idiot and it's the greatest car in the world, etc… it's a great car, but not for everyone, and it just took longer for me to realize it. So, enjoy your BRZ/FR-S toys everyone; hopefully I'll be back when I have a 3-car garage and can afford a wonderful vehicle like this along with something more practical. Take care everyone, drive fun and drive safe!

I'm sure nobody here is gonna give you any grief over parting ways with the BRZ. You gotta do what you gotta do, just a fact of life.

I wish you the best of luck with the A4!

That's sad to hear, but an A4 was actually my second choice so not a bad compromise! Call up STāSIS and get an exhaust and tune and you should be pretty happy with it!
