My BRZ "Berlin"

I had a nice long adventure post all typed and ready until my Chrome crashed and lost it all, so this time I'm just gonna keep it short and sweet.

I picked up "Berlin" (so named bc of the town in Vermont where I bought her), drove her from VT to NC (982 miles and 17.5hrs) and had a mostly enjoyable time. Lots of rubbernecking close calls (one guy almost ran me off the road TWICE trying to get a look), dead bugs, a horrifying experience avoiding a giant buck on 81S, but totally worth it!

Without further ado, some photos:

Me taking delivery with my 86 BRZ shirt on!


Odometer and MPG after the trip + a day of driving in Charlotte/Waxhaw




And finally, just a picture of Berlin (without me in it!)



As a side note: Twin City Subaru in Berlin, VT was fantastic - my salesperson Dan particularly - with helping me get everything organized, prepped, and ready for my pickup and then trek back to NC. The process could've been much more difficult but they made it a breeze! After my terrible experiences with the local dealerships, I'm disappointed that I won't be able to go back to Twin City without driving through 5 states.

Looks great.

Found a huge, nearly entirely from the left side to the right side, scratch on the back side of the roof. I can't seem to get a good picture of it, but it makes me very sad

Sorry to hear that man. I wonder how that happened! Hopefully it's not very deep and it can still be buffed out.

Not a bad colour! It looks great in person, never thought I would actually like the colour until now! Congrats and cheers to you and the new baby.
