Mid Atlantic Chat Thread v2
 
Hey guys,
New to the forum and I was looking at older posts and saw that there was a chat thread a little while ago but it seems to have died.

I like the concept and I want to try to revive it, because who doesn't like making new friends while at work.

A little info about me,
I just turned 20 this month and I went out and bought myself a CPO 2013 Brz in Dark Metallic Grey that had just under 25k miles on it.
It is my first manual car so I'm still learning how to drive stick and panic every time I come to a hill.
Im a full time student at GMU and work two part time jobs.
Currently my car is stock as I'm just trying to learn it, and because school is expensive and makes me want to cry.
Eventually I want to modify my car to my own taste and take it drifting and onto the tracks, etc.

TL;DR:
Name is Peter, 20 Years old, Got my first car and its a 2013 limited BRZ. Nice to meet you, lets be friends.

Haven't actually had the pleasure of driving back roads yet, been just doing the normal drive from school to home, but tomorrow i'll be taking a trip up Sperryville mountain, going to be a blast.

I'm in love with the car, very fortunate to have this type of car as my first car as well, it's my baby. Trying my best to treat and care after it as much as i can. :)

Too much to count.. like $15k+ at this point.

Evenin, I'm Jack, I picked up my 13 BRZ Limited 4 weeks ago. I bought it with wheels, bilstein struts, and a high flow catted front pipe. Car's from Delaware, and I'm in the Lynchburg area. I run the parkway to Roanoke often and I drive all around VA, so I ain't to hard to find.

Haha, was it worth?
How long do you plan on keeping the car?

Probably not the best car to learn manual on, I've driven manual for over 10 years and the spring in the clutch pedal is still messing with my shifts. Clutch feels nothing like what I'm used to.

I haven't had my twin for 3 months and I've already dumped over 10k into it.
Also we met at Mazadar a few weeks back. What's good dude?

We met this past weekend at Cookout. Good times.

I'm a fairly new twin owner, just turned 29 last week, feck. Here's a link to my build.

I've only had it for like two weeks and my worst fear is getting stuck in traffic on a hill...

Have you thought about removing the spring? I saw a post about it in the DIY section but I personally dont know the difference between a clutch with a spring and without so I thought I would just leave it as is.
