Not bad for a 10+ year old car

Would be interesting to see any other 2013's still with the original owners, condition and all.

Mileage though?
My FRS looked worse than that after just 4 years but it also had almost 200,000 kilometers on it by then.

The 86 still looks new after almost 3 years but I have done about 25% of the driving.

The car has 79,543 kms on it. Less than 50K miles.
Driven April 1 to Oct 31. And even then, not every day. Then there's the year it spent May onward sitting in need of a replacement blower from Japan.
It has lots of small scratches and dents but still cleans up well.
After watching a YouTube video of a guy in Japan with tons of GTRs in various condition I was inspired and painted, cleared and polished the front spoiler, which looked like it swallowed a fried egg after a fight with the pressure washer. Not perfect, but much much better.

Year round driven.
Few nicks and chips if you look real close but from 10 feet away still looks new inside and out.

Nice! I have yet to see one of those on the road. My mother drove a '68 Cutlass convertible in the early to mid 70's re-painted dark metallic green.

Probably saw 3 or 4 GR86's so far though.

Aside from Dadhawk, I'm probably one of the few holdouts. As a second car, the amortized cost per year drops every year. By the time I am ready to sell it, I am sure it will be sought after.

I should probably make sure I can get the tuners info updated in case it ever needs to depart with its supercharger.

My old FRS is still going strong.

As far as my dealer could figure out there were between 18 and 21 Hakone edition cars sold in Ontario. Probably safe to bet a couple have been wrecked already so the odds of seeing one in the wild are pretty low. I know there was one sold in Stratford but I have not had a confirmed sighting yet.

I see 22 Grs and BRZs almost every day. For a car that is so hard to get they seem to be freakin' everywhere.

So far, haven't seen a single new BRZ. I guess everyone is willing to pay an extra $2K for a nicer front clip on the Toyota.

What's with the handbrake? Just excited that it's 10 years old?

Been around 50/50 for me.
The London Subaru dealer has sold at least 8 last I heard a couple of weeks back . They had 3 in the showroom waiting for pickup at once at one point.

I thought my 105k km in 4 years was good :lol:

50K mikes on my MY19. 40K is highway (MA-NY weekly trips for 2 years). Have a few dents from nuts. Other than that it’s great.

That BRZ looks like a show car. The paint looks good enough for a brochure!
Dents from nuts? That must hurt, sounds like a motorcycle gas tank. lol
