In 2015, I was able to convert my 2013 BRZ completely back to stock and recoup about 75% of the cost of my mods (which were nearing $20,000) to trade it in for a very fair number when I found a great deal on a 911; wouldn't have been so lucky if I sold off all my stock parts and tried trading in a heavily modded car.


My '17 carries the same mantra, though I'm going much lighter on the mods this time around.

Funny how that works, huh? Go extremely hard on a build (lots of time, money and work) and the next time around it's like, "yeah, not doing that again."
