Yes.

I went from 15 to 17, feels worth it for a bit, then... not so much.

Save your pennies for a real upgrade later.

money matters...well yes. But from coming from a 2 year ownership of a '17 AT brz...the '18 Ts feels pretty close but with much better acceleration and brakes. It seems like it'd be more fun for me, but I keep thinking of all the time I spend in traffic vs how long my clutch might last in those conditions...LOL.

Wheels look great. For some reason though, it triggers me that the center caps are made to look like center locks.

I'm so used to driving manual transmissions that I don't even think about it in traffic, it's just second nature. The manual trans is more fun in any other scenario, so even if you do get tired of it in traffic that should make up for it. Your clutch should last many many miles regardless of traffic as long as you don't abuse it.

I installed Eibach Pro springs and my winter wheels/tires since temps are now around freezing at night.

I have The new Rally Armor Cancer Awareness flaps getting made now for further winter protection since I drive my car year round.

I used my BRZ to acquire a $100 "failure to come to a COMPLETE stop" ticket. Normally I'm extra cautious when there is a camera, and make sure to come to a prolonged stop behind the stop bar, but I completely missed the fact that there was a camera at this intersection. Even sillier, traffic from the left had a red light, as only one direction moves at a time. Gah!

That shit is just fucking petty.

Can you contest that in court? There's got to be at least a chance some judge would deem you to have complied with the spirit of the law.
