I am at 5 years 11 months of ownership. Purchased 07/02/12.
I lived 30 miles outside of town. In June 2012 I saw an FR-S online, called the dealership to make sure they had it, and left my house in a hurry. Only to have the salesman call me a when I was almost there to tell me they had sold the car! THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES!!!!! I was sooooooo happy when I got to the dealership the fourth time, and MY car was there!!! YEAH! 73373 miles this morning. https://i.imgflip.com/2blvzn.jpgvia Imgflip Meme Generator |
So, where's the photos?????
Yeah we in Canada are definitely metric as is most of the world, since 1975 or 76 as I recall. It's actually a far superior system but the US and UK keep hanging on to Imperial measurement with its difficult units conversions and of course the US had to have their own non-imperial gallon just to fuck things up even more. Canadians typically talk miles or Fahrenheit when speaking with Americans if: they are old enough to have a feel for conversions or have spent significant time in the US or UK. Now, measuring weight in stone is absolutely fucking ridiculous but so is eating bacon fat on toast. |
Guys...does anyone know how many years in metric this is?

Time sure flies. Pretty sure it was 6/7/12 when I picked mine up. Got called in as soon as they had some show up. I didn't have a preorder, but was on the list in case others fell through, and I wanted to sit in one to make sure I'd fit (6'4"). When I got there, the salesman pointed at the 2 BRZs and said, "The blue one is available." Traded in my 2010 STi.
She's been my DD for 6 years. Now...well, I'll let the picture speak for itself. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1731/...a8df4c07_c.jpg IMG_20180604_091952 by Matt V., on Flickr |
Curious if anyone over 100,000 miles has sprung the big bucks to change the fuel filter as per scheduled maintenance. I only use 93 or 94 top tier fuel so hoping at that point she still runs good.

I picked mine up on 5/12/12. I got a call from the dealership (Friday noonish) she was in and ready for me. I got to the dealership after work, around 5PM. The car was on the showroom floor, with a rope around her. As soon as I saw her I knew she was mine. Had told my wife I was undecided if I'd actually get it. Was getting ready to sign the paperwork and the salesman pulled some BS with my trade, so I got up, said call me when you get your head out of your rectal cavity and left. I had no intention of not getting the car, but wanted to make a point. Sure enough they called first thing in the morning and apologized, so I went straight to the dealership and brought home Alyssa. We've been together for over 6 years now and the honeymoon still isn't over.

The true (humble) greatness of the 86 wont be missed until it is gone,
