Ordered my BRZ on March 1st, 2013 in Moorhead, MN and picked it up on March 21st with 6 miles on it.

I come from the Honda world, as I have a 2004 RSX-S that I've modded for track days:

My plans for this car will also be Autocross and track days.

Here are some videos from 2014 Race season so far:

The Day it arrived off the truck





Filling it up for the first time, then back to work. I had the dealer specifically not take the plastic off OR wash it. If anyone is going to scratch my paint, it's not going to be the kid at the dealership getting paid $7/hr. It's going to be me.





Driving it home from work.



Safe at home, plastic removed. Yes. That is how much snow we have in Fargo, ND. STILL. Ugh.







BFF's



What do you do 72 hours after buying a brand new car? Take it apart, of course.



Stock Intake Removed.



Perrin Crank Pulley Installed. Weight savings is equivalent to removing 100lbs from the vehicle.





Perrin Inlet Tube and Cold Air Intake Installed.



All washed and ready for a month or so nap (While waiting for snowy, salty roads to stop being snowy and salty.



Someone please come buy one of my vehicles. I have too many.
