That last pic looks like it wouldn't fit my suit bag but was intentionally made for an exact fit for a golf bag. I guess they know their target buyer.

Yep. They know the two crowds overlap.
Hell Toyota thought it was important enough to even put it in the promotional materials.

*Depending on size/shape of bag, some may not fit.

Not wheels or tools, mind you, just bags.

The real question is sound insulation. If you put the old bag in the trunk, will it be quiet enough that you don't have to listen to her thumping around back there or trying to scream around the tape?

Well if you follow instructions as per the diagram they are supposed to be decapitated with their purse beside the body. You also should be ensuring that the passengers wrists are securely bound so they can not alert the authorities as to what you have in the trunk.

I was at the dealer were I bought my car today to get a key fob, Noticed a 2017 on the lot same features as mine, PP, homelink, trunk tray, and wheel locks...only the color was different, this was a dark gray. These cars most not be selling that much in my area. I have not seen another BRZ on the streets yet. only one older Zion and an 86.

They had a used 2015 BRZ, 45K miles, with wear and tear. asking $21K crazy.

Did you ever test drive one?

Ganthrithor · 09-26-2018, 12:32 AM

Just sit in a chair, then imagine going even slower but making much more noise and having a lot of fun. There you go.

BRZnut · 09-26-2018, 07:25 AM

We usually don't test drive our new cars anymore. Always found it really hard to get a feel for a new car with the salesman sitting next to you on a short drive. Find it more useful to read test drive reviews before I buy. Just did that with our 2018 Mazda CX5. My test drive was the day I took it home.

My car was a demo. I was allowed to test drive it before I paid. But I hadn't touched a manual for 14 years at that time. I did sit in the driver's seat and fire it up. So the noise I could hear, just need to imagine the fun

Then I shut it off and started talking money. Good thing I didn't drive it at that time though. Took me a couple of weeks to be not scare of it. Then another couple of months before I'm totally comfortable with threwing it around. So taking it out to the streets the first time I met it would be quite meaningless.

I didn't even test drive, first dealer salesman didn't know to drive a manual and he was driving on first gear without pressing gas in the parking lot. Second dealer salesman (vietnamese) was driving and I was at the passenger side (didn't see a dip). Following week, I bought tS and stalled it 3 times on the way to home and some honking at the intersections.
