Nah...2009 997-S ( maybe PDK ). Getting older sucks, but I can heal and toe and have nothing to prove so I'm starting to feel the auto blip itch coming on !

I'm starting to drink the koolaid on those and I am seriously debating one of those as the next car.

Since the roads around here are all messed up, I like to drive the BRZ more often that the 997. There's no need to be super careful about driving the BRZ, where as with the 997 turbo, I have to plan ahead of time about where I'm going to make sure I don't damage the car.

if u have a 997.1 with pasm, try the dsc unit that tpc racing sells, transformed my car!

we sold both brz for a pdk991s and a manual987.1S with a rs370 kit in it on rs pro jrz. no regrets but I miss the rawness of the '86 in some ways but not many

5 months in and I already have as many miles as 1 year of owning the BRZ; damn I love this car!! Thanks to 5 months' worth of commuting up and down a highway that's been torn up for construction the whole time, I now have a slight bend in one wheel, a small bubble in one tire, and my front tie rods are wearing out fast. Luckily, both inner and outer tie rods can be had for ~$130-160 shipped if I go aftermarket. I am due for new tires by spring anyway, and should have a hookup through Bridgestone. The wheel might cost $100 to straighten. Not terrible.

No mods yet, but I'd like to get a set of Cargraphic lowering springs, H&R wheel spacers, clear side markers, and LED taillights and DRL's. Maybe if I can get a deal on some used parts I'll get headers/exhaust, IPD plenum and intake, and a tune.

Aren't you really young? I swear I remember you saying you were only 18-21 years old...

Lol....I'll answer for Myles...he is not 18-21. Nope. He is Porsche 911 with PDK aged.

Andy (me) just turned 30.

Larry is mid-20's.

Dan is I think 29 or 30.
