Hi from a new member
 

Hi, my name is Sean. I picked up my BRZ Limited last week from Portland, Oregon and drove it back down the Pacific Coast (via 101 and 1) back to the Bay over 2 days.

The drive was about 750 miles. I really enjoy the car. I felt like I really learned the character of the car since about half of those miles were on twisties and the other half were on the freeway.

I intend to leave my car stock for now (other than camber bolts and maybe mudguards) but might consider some suspension work, wheels and tires later. I got about 26mpg for the whole trip.

Here are some pictures I took with my phone.

See you around!
Sean

Welcome! Congrats on the car!!!!

Nice. Pleasanton neighbor. Welcome back :thumbup:

Welcome! Great pics. Can't beat the the Pacific route.

Good to see ya here Sean :D Wanna go get some breakfast/lunch in ptown/dub today?

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

Sure. I'll send u a pm. I'm celebrating lunar new year this afternoon w family at 3 so before then is good. My car is ridiculously dirty right now, lol

Welcome sir !!! ;D

Welcome home! Lol

Thanks. it was definitely a lot of driving to do over 2 days but the roads were beyond fun and I had no passengers complaining about my cornering speeds :D

Definitely need a hot tub after sitting in the car for a total of ~12 hours, lol

sexy, welcome bro!

congratulations and welcome! be careful hanging out with the peeps on this forum, you see what they've done to their cars and next thing you know you're breaking your budget buying new parts and mods... :happy0180:

Was just re-admiring your pics but just realized, is that an action shot, or did you hold up traffic just to get that pic :respekt:

I feel ya, the lack of lumbar support just kills my back after a couple of hours of back road driving. I can't imagine what 12 hrs. would do to you.

Don't listen to Blaine (j/k)! Hold off as long as you can and enjoy the car as it is! I tried so hard, but like everybody here, I caved.

Another new face on the next meet.:D its funny how the BRZ's front end reminds me of a Manta Ray...a smiling Manta Ray.:D some HID's and LED's wont hurt your pockets that much. Some rotas and tires, lowering springs and you are good. I wish my FR-S was white.

Haha, I wish. Road was stopped due to one-way traffic control for a mudslide near Crescent City, CA. I hopped out, snapped a couple, and ran back to my car when traffic started up again. :D

I know, right... especially CSG Mike and all of the $uspension toys that went into their project car. drool.

Thanks again guys.
