Couldn't have said it better myself... Occasionally I'll take the backroads on the way home just to unwind and push the car through corners, I LOVE IT when a big bad SUV is tailgating on the straightaways and then disappears after a few corners...

(Sadly (thankfully?) I'm not as dumb as I used to be, and after noticing an increase in the deer population on these particular roads I've decided to stay off them for a bit...)

Hey Tcoat, would my car have the same prestige as a Subaru if I rebadged to BRZ? Even though its essentially the same damn car with a few differing pieces?

Most definitely, its a testament to the difference between being a "fast" car or a "quick" car. That happens at least once a week and makes me giddy
