2015
Once upon a time about 3 years ago I got the itch to replace my trusty bugeye WRX wagon with something a bit more modern and capable of better fuel economy for my commuting. I hadn't necessarily reached the end of my rope with the WRX but it did have 160k accumulated on it and was starting to show it's wear in various categories. It was a great car and I would buy one again if they were offered new. I didn't opt to replace it with a WRX again as the new cars had gotten kinda ugly (that is saying something coming from a bugeye owner). A far cry from their best looking years in 06-07. I made the decision to order a BRZ Limited devoid of any add-ons as I could source them in a more cost effective manner than the window sticker charge.

Vehicle arrived to dealer inventory. Delivery arranged for the end of June. The car was 10 states away in the Chicago suburbs. I was planning to pick it up when I went back to where I grew up for a friend's wedding.

Delivery and drop off. Vehicle was picked up in the morning and promptly driven to The Tint Factory in Madison, Wi for XPEL Ultimate Clear bra install and 35% 3M Carbon Ceramic window tint. The vehicle was left until the following Tuesday.

Pick up car and start the drive back to Phoenix.
No pictures from Chicago to Denver. It was early and very boring.

Encountered another local who was being transferred for work and parting out his car. He was moving to a northern climate and moving onto an evo. This made for an opportunity to get some nice bits at a very reasonable price.

The car sat in this format for quite a while.
