Hi everyone! I traded in my wrb 2002 WRX hatch for a "used" 2013 Ultramarine FRS this past November. I was set on a wrb BRZ for the past couple of years, but issues with the WRX forced me to pull the trigger a little earlier than planned. Unfortunately, at that time the only used BRZs in my area were silver and that color doesn't fit my taste. The "used" FRS had less than 2K miles, a very good price, and once I saw/drove it I was sold.

It was kind of a present to myself after successfully relocating back to the US with the Mrs (worked in Saitama, Japan for 6 years), getting a masters, landing a full-time job, and passing the CPA exam. "I love it when a plan comes together" haha. We also had a kid in January, but that was after I got the FRS locked down (wife has the family car, 2010 Impreza hatchback).

It will mainly be used as a daily-driver, but I'm planning to hit up my first auto-x this spring and want to keep it in the stock class. Only minor cosmetic mods have been done so far...
-Perrin 4 inch antenna
-JDM sidemarkers
-Cobb knob (black/red)
...and a set of black Work Kiwami's (17x7 +47) are on the way.

Cheers
