Looks terrible but I walked away scratch free, just a little shaken up.

Yep, luckily no pedestrians.


For those who are wondering, I got hit by a car making a left turn while I was going straight.

Well you did a nice job of squeezing between that tree and the wall.
Don't worry they made more of them. It does suck you had just paid it off though.

Same here, first new car I bought and with it all paid off I can't bring myself to let go of it. I'd be bummed if this happened but I'd probably be asking myself if I should get a new one... Any thoughts on replacing your BRZ with a newer BRZ? tS?

Still waiting on the final word from insurance but I don't think I'll get another BRZ/86.

Really considering a new 2018 M2 since they're heavily discounted right now with the release of the M2 Competition.

Also looked at CPO Cayman S and CPO RCF but can't find the one with the right specs and price.

I don't have a car at the moment so I will need to make a decision within a month or so.

What about the schmancy new Supras? I have some concerns with all the BMW parts in it but that's mostly because of increased service rates.

That's on my list too but I don't want to wait, also will be paying mark up or MSRP for it.

I think the 2018 M2 is a better buy at the moment, found quite a few that's selling for 50k after discount.

I was about to meet with an accident and the breaks of BRZ are really awesome. This was at the I-10 East or West far right two lanes exit on 290 East hwy Houston. I was almost at the end of ramp and a truck came from left lanes I-610 and cut me off. My honk didn't help him at all, anyway I was in shock for 5 minutes. What's wrong with people to stay in their lanes?

Perhaps he wanted a closer look at your honk..
