@GotM and I had the vtr1000 superhawk. God I whish I still had mine. 1000cc sport touring with a vtwin. torqie engine. Loved the twisties. Must have done every road trip in Az there is. Snow, rain you name it. Never a problem.

Got mine a few years ago for $1500 put a crap load of miles on it and sold it for more than I got it for in the end.

Here's a pic of one. Basically an rc51 with no fuel injection.

Other than that

A lot more people in Laveen-ish area with BRZ/FR-S!!

Also, I haven't been here in awhile, been busy with class work (Finals next week), what's new that has happened?
Ya I flashed my lights at the cr to and they didn't do anything! Supposedly theirs a lot of people in laveen but today was the first time I saw another frs! Crazy

Getting in/out is quite easy providing I have enough room to open the door wide enough. I hate that the door doesn't have very many 'stops' as you open it. Often I have to hold the door as I carefully get in/out, so as not to scratch a car next to me; or I have to try and squeeze in with it open to the first 'stop'. If I have room to open it wide though, it's a breeze. My girlfriend is 5'0" and has more trouble getting in/out than I do. She hated getting in it from the very beginning, LOL. I think I have to put more effort into getting in her Dodge Ram than my BRZ

Take it to the track! That would be my first response to anyone with a non-turbo V6. Then (hopefully) watch them slide off it on their first turn :P I really with my g/f's brother had kept his V6 Challenger. He upgraded to the V8 though. I'd still like to think I'd have a good chance at beating him around a track though (once I actually get some track time in :P )

Easily one of my favorite episodes ever. As soon as I saw the FR-S in the title sequence for Season 19 I got all girlish (this was prior to me buying my car). I think I watched that review 5 times that day and just had the same Jeremy Clarkson grin on my face the whole time, LOL

Here is me having to add some gas about 5 miles short of the next town. Was on 7 day trip up to Estes Park Colorado. We were doing some triple digits on the Northern part of the 191. I thought I could make it to I40, but the higher speeds really drank some fuel. I remember looking down and seeing the reserve light on at 90ish miles. Typically I would not get this until 115 or so. I ran out of gas! Luckily we knew this was a possibility with this bike, so I had a siphon hose. Had to find a can to get the siphon to work.

That place is awesome, but I think I shorten my life every time I walk in there. The fumes are something else.

Ok for you local guys if you want brake lines clutch lines or oil cooler lines please pm me first I just had a mini stroke when I saw the outrageous prices they are getting for some lines that I could build a way higher quality line with no expiration date for half the price.
