Just a quick update:

Heard back from the insurance adjuster a little bit ago. As was expected, the car will be considered a total loss. It was too late in the day to send the info through to the...

Oh, no doubt, it was definitely my fault. I didn't see the turn in the road, and I'm sure there was probably something else I should have done once I hit the gravel.

It is what it is though....

Stock tires and gravel roads don't mix

Well, crashed the BRZ this afternoon.

That's strange. I have a 2018 BRZ, and the backup camera displays on the head unit. Didn't realize Toyota and Subaru were different in that regard.

I was thinking something like -2.0 front camber / -1,5 rear camber, with 0 toe up front and 1/16th in the back.

Would that be a good setting? I'm not interested...

May be a silly question, but have you tried changing the battery? Might be it's just ran out of juice, and the spare key could run into the same problem even if it's just been sitting for a few years/
