guys please be careful, people are insane these days.

What in the actual fuck... I reckon you almost got held up. Probably should call the cops to see if anything was reported and could benefit from your footage.

Or maybe he was setting up the worlds smallest autocross track...

Noooo..not the beautiful shaved bumper .
This is why one of my next main purchases will be a blackvue or something similar that can record when my car is parked for when crap like this happens.

That susicious roadblock though. Glad you got the heck out instead of waiting around to see. Was that in Jersey?

You're famous. Your video made it to CT.

I hope YouTube pays you monies for it or something and it'll help the bumper fund.

Replace the uper fake grille with a reall grille or go back to running the emblem again? Would also be great for cooling. But, Really the LED pattern in the fogs are the only thing that bothers me. I can't help but, putting them in a row and using that big area as a brake duct or for an oil cooler would be and look better (IMO.)


Saw the vid, had a few of those "I feel like I'm about to get car jacked" moments. No roadblock but, when stopped a light. I used to ask and now I don't. Only one I can recall recently, I was stopped and some guy walked towards me. I asked him twice if he needed help. And he started sprinting without a reply, I bolted.

love the jalopnik discussion:
"If the guy truly had a gun, the driver wouldn't have had a chance. That lethargic BRZ acceleration would've been like shooting a stationary target."
"Frankly he'd be better off running."

lol

That's crazy. Was the video high enough resolution for the police to get the license plate?


That little stunt is only going to work until he comes across someone else with a gun. Then the problem will solve itself.
