Nopes, I wasn't.

I was on I5 southbound around the west seattle bride exit last night around 9:30pm-ish and saw either an asphalt or raven fr-s (too dark outside to tell).

saw a Lava and Whiteout in the parking garage at Lincoln Square last Friday night, then waved at a (I think) Granite when I was leaving the garage? I've been seeing them everywhere lately!

ha. I live two blocks from there, but the BRZ only comes out once every two weeks. I think people spot Bob's BRZ and call me more often saying they saw me than the other way around. Gosh Bob@driftoffice, why'd you haveto go and make yours look exactly like mine?

I think I've seen you a few times. I'm usually around Seattle around 9:30/10 a few nights a week.

meh, it's meant to be driven.

I'm not sure I would have picked this car as my garage queen if I did this again, honestly. For what I want, maybe buying an old e30 325i would have been about the same benefit of a "learn to drive RWD in a track setting w/ low HP, good balance."

this car seems like a great choice for the DD/weekend trackrat combo, whereas something like 1) a junky track car or 2) a full on M3 would be a better garage/weekender/track car. Honestly, the BRZ gets far better gas mileage than my DD that I bought just to keep her off the roads and ding free.

Bob's has the CF wrap \ vynil, so pretty distinctive I thought? So you have another whiteout?

I'm a literally like 2 or 3 blocks from the gym too. The wife has just changed her schedule so I've been carpooling with her car to put less miles on. I did just got a GoPro3 a few days ago though so you may see the BRZ running around there randomly doing test vids all week

Yeah I have a CF vinyl roof, did that about a year ago now. My DD is an e46 330i, I live in between 4th and 900.

M3s are the track cars everywhere. Buy em and run em relatively stock, or for a full track build they need very little extra work. Mostly just new brake kit, maybe new suspension, half cage, chip... maybe a couple other smaller things. I love reading my monthly roundel mag from the CCA... some guy with a track prepped M3 put down pole position times compared to the professional circuit lap times at some of the east coast tracks. insane.
