Been lurking for a while now, just haven't had much to say since I've been without the BRZ for almost 2 years.


With that said, I still keep in touch with a lot of the folks I've met through this forum over the years and make it a point to attend the SKO every year.

Swapped the BRZ for an F-RS and now you're too good for us. It's OK. No need to try and cover it.

I have transported 4 adults in my FRS too. Not sure how comfortable they were or the yoga required to get in the back. So I guess having those extra doors do make you special

Basically, this is a nice, fun, place, but after a year or so the "information" side of the equation is fulfilled, and the "entertainment" side becomes the majority of the reason... and, no disrespect to the fun and enjoyable folks here, but I prefer real life to the internet. If the folks I interact with on a semi-regular basis here were closer geographically, I'd love to get together. They're not, soooo... I hang with people in person rather than spend too much time here, or online in general.
I hang with "real" people as well but most of them are not as fun as the ones here.
Strangely enough I have met almost all the Norcal guys that have responded here. Some of them several times. One of them even bought blinds for my room at their place.
