Got it shipped from my condo in Colorado at 10,000ft to my parents' house, where I'm living for a year, at sea level. I'd never driven it below 7,500ft. WOW it makes power down here. I need to...

I got the cheap ones from Amazon. They fit fine and look like the ones pictured above. Big improvement on a silver car, probably any color.

I've carried my XC, Trail, All-Mountain, and Enduro MTBs (all current gen Scotts) in my BRZ but wasn't sure my DH bike would fit. I recently found out it does! There's still enough room in the back...

New Car Buyer Survey

I assume everyone who's bought a new BRZ will get the same survey email from Subaru that I did. It takes a long time to complete but I hope everyone does it. It sure seems like they're interested in...

Last time I was over it was 20 yesrs ago on a dirtbike. You should go drive it (North to South). Such a fun road with very tight switchbacks on the way up that this car loves in 2nd gear. Then flowy,...

Hit 1000mi on a straight away between uphill switchbacks on Guanella Pass, so used the top end for the first time while power sliding out of the next one. Nice to not need to hold the rpm below 5k...

Why 0° Camber?

Why do cars like the Twins come with 0° front camber and no built in adjustment? Does runnning 1° or so increase tire wear that dramatically? Even if that's true, they were clearly willing to...

It's not just MPG. An engine that's spinning at 3500 when highway cruising has more vibration, noise, and wear. It deters high speed cruising. In my STi I'd gradually back off to 70 cuz it just...

I don't think many people will swap swaybar mounts, it's mere curiosity about the differences.

Exhaust heat shield barely touching and vibrating? I'd also like to know if the sound continues after motor removal.

So even though the bushing connects to the car differently on the BRZ vs GR86 the bars are the same shape and the bushings are in the same locations?

It's a matter of perspective. For me lighter always = better. If carbon wheels were made in our size I'd buy them. I'd certainly never be caught with alloy wheels on my bikes!

Hey! It gets pretty good MPG and fits a bike in the back. It's an economy car that just happens to power the correct wheels. I need to buy it for fiscal responsibility.

It's not like Denver is middle of nowhere. You'd think being second in line at Colorado's biggest Toyota dealer would score you a car by now. Whatever, snow's about to start flying anyway.
