Looks great...of course it's the perfect color.

Welcome to the club.

Congrats on the car guy! And that picture of the headlight that people are referencing is a good shot. Pretty spot on. Strange how even though I own the car and look at it everyday seeing it from angles like that just make me appreciate it even more.

It sounds a little silly to say, but the headlights are actually my favorite aesthetic part of the car. Especially the eyebrow (for lack of a better term) surrounding the edge of the low beam lamp. Hmm, that gives me an idea for another pic...

Congrats! Hope you enjoy the forum as well.

Welcome aboard brother WRB for finally pulling the trigger. I feel the same way about buying a Colt LE6920, you have inspired me. Now to move the wife out of my way and just do it.

Took about a month for me to get used to MT, I learned on an old M3 though. BRZ is super super light and precise compared to the M3, but the M3 was really easy to learn on - bigger engine and fewer gears = more forgiving? :P (at least it felt like I didn't stall that much.... managed to stall the brz like 3 times the first week =( then we changed the clutch position and it was a lot easier)

Did you move the clutch closer to the floor?

yeah - we made the engagement point lower - much closer to what I'm used to.

It's gonna take me a few weeks to get it down, and the first drive to work today in traffic was terrifying, but I'll get the hang of it.

Man, it feels good...

You'll be doing this before you know it!

@Tone she looks great. But you're making me nervous with that concrete parking divider!

oldlostcory · 06-11-2013, 12:38 PM

I picked mine up the same day! Same car too, WRB Limited. Traded my Integra in on it, loved that car but it had just seen better days. How many miles have you put on her? I'm up to 315. The more I drive it the more I'm liking it.

must have been a "buy a brz limited" day!!

Nice! The silver has really grown on me. Looks great.
