Got a pic of my BRZ in Subaru Drive Performance magazine

I submitted a pic of my car and short blurb for the 'letters from readers' section of Subaru Drive Performance magazine and they picked it; much to my delight.

Print copies are out soon, but the online version is already out:

One of the classiest vehicles out there...just don't go too crazy with the mods, it's near enough perfection right now.

Wow, that'll be like the 2nd BRZ I've ever saw them mention in Drive! It's like Subaru's bastard step child...

Yeah, that's what I always thought too - it was mostly WRX's and STi's. Glad to see us represented more.

My legacy plates took a long time because I pre-ordered them before the program was a sure thing. if you remember, there were three possible plate options - black, yellow and blue. people had to send in their checks and when one choice met the minimum 7500 pre-order quantity, they'd start making them.

I sent in my check in oct 2013 and got my plates in august 2015. so, it was almost a 2-year wait for me.
