I bought my BRZ from Dwyer. They won't go lower than MSRP, even if you're in the VIP program. Not sure about Hodges.

The service departments of both dealerships are very good. Have been nothing by friendly to me when I've had questions or concerns.

I was at Grattan this weekend. I didn't see it happen as it was at the end of the straight but I am glad he is fine. It looked like the Porsche before him dropped coolant or something and the S2000 unfortunately was right behind him.

Wow that is a crazy. I have only seen one roll over at the track and they had to life flight the person after cutting the car open to get him

I highly doubt anyone will go below MSRP right now particularly on a BRZ, there is no incentive to do so. Though I did return to Hodges again a few months after I took the BRZ delivery to buy a used 02 WRX they had on their lot and got a real good deal on that

Winter. I replaced my 08 WRX with it because I couldn't afford the 08 WRX and the 13 BRZ payments along with my wife's car, plus the 08 is a little too nice/new of a car just for driving around in the winter... not worth the extra $$ to have it sit in the driveway most of the time. The 02 is in solid shape too... If I ever find the time (and money) I'd like to turn it into a legitimate rallycross car.

Clearly there is something wrong with the forums. It insists on showing Kask2_6.0 as being a vender

Details anyone?

Had no problem with Fox Toyota in Rochester. The only sales guy I usually go is Christopher Symanzki. He is an honest and hardworking sales person. He even set me up for the color I wanted "Hot Lava" last year when I bought my FR-S who just came out from the Pier. The only issues I had is from their Finance department but the person in charge is no longer there simply becuase she's not doing her job.

So for any Michiganders out there, any cruise day in your city that we can display our beloved FR-S aside from Woodward dream cruise? Just to let them know our existence. I know Port Huron will be having their Cruise day tomorrow June 28, 2013.

Small red sports cars such as the Miata and FR-S/BRZs are Ferrari wannabes. Some psychologists suggest that red sports cars are a substitute for a poor sex life with the spouse. Many proud posters will disagree but don't fault the messenger.

Forum is working correctly

I have been doing misc. projects here and there and selling parts through another vendor on the forum. Now finally having a garage of my own I will be able to do some more fab projects so I decided to become a vendor to make things a little easier.
