Jeebus' SWP BRZ
 
She's been mine a little over a week now. 850 miles and counting. Averaging pretty decent mileage ~28 at the pump. So far it's been great. Planning on being a daily driver with occasional AutoX duty. Some mods planned in the future, but for now she's stock (other than the tint).

Today I did some Zaino waxing...the paint really pops now. So much so that it's hard to capture on camera.

But I was able to get some of the pearl in this pic:

shadows all over those curves:

for some reason she wants to park backwards in the garage:

Looking good

This is the most "fun" car I've had. Not the fastest. Not the grippiest. Not the nicest. But the most fun.

Here's a few of my previous fun cars:


335d with JB Diesel tuner. (525+ TQ WOAH)

Wow nice line up of cars...

I'm a subie dood, have a STi but after driving one of these cars for two weeks it's hard not to like it.

A little low for day to day stuff and too slow. 260whp stock would be perfect bit oh well

yeah, it is a slow mofugga. If I didn't live where I do, I'm not sure I'd want to drive this thing every day. But my commute consists mostly of super curvy mountain/back roads and this is where the BRZ really shines. In city driving, and battling San Diego freeway drivers, it is too slow to be super confident. Especially with the SHIT torque dip.

Eventually, I'll prolly have you, @Visconti, fix that for me. :thumbsup:

Sounds like you need a radar detector first

don't jinx me. I've been driving 16 years and never had a ticket. :party0030:

Wow! You are so lucky to have driven all those nice fancy cars =)

BRZ is looking superb! Nice and shinny!

Gorgeous line-up of cars.
And the white is really growing on me as a color.

jeebus 09-02-2012 03:15 PM

Added a few more layers of Zaino z2 and z6, topped it off with ZCS

16 years and no ticket? That either takes some serious skill or serious luck. I had two speeding tickets before I turned 17. Even though they were only 11 and 9 over. Gorgeous car.

Very nice car collection. Dear gahhd I want that E28 you had! Wish they got better gas mileage; I'd totally rock one for a daily. Or a '91 318iS.
