Congrats! Just made that drive about a month ago. I went across I-70, but then went down through MOAB instead of continuing across to the 15. Amazing roads at Arches National Park!

I'm already in love! I need to giver her a name her and get her tinted ASAP. But more than anything, I need to learn how to drive a M/T. Today was my first day behind the wheel actually driving it.

Before anyone asks, I personally didn't drive it from CO>CA

seems like a lot of people make the trip to CO to buy there brz..is there any specific reason for this? just curious..

Don't feel confused. Just don't buy aftermarket crap that has no value except for making your car "different" with no added value. Many aftermarket companies have many coming and going thru that revolving door.

I love the import scene, but I feel old and confused right now.

Still, maybe I'll just vinyl wrap or paint the stockers. The car definitely needs an exhaust and lighter wheels before I drop half a grand on lights :\

Delorean?

Yeah, I'm curious as well. I live in San Diego and I'm wondering what people know that I don't....

Yes, I'm about to fly out to CO in just a bit myself. When you're able to get a limited for a steep discount, it's a no brainer. CA dealers are marking this car up still.

Call Clint at Heuberger and he'll give you all the good details.

Hit 1000 miles, survived a hailstorm, and needed a jump from Subaru roadside after taking a 10 day vacation and finding the battery dead. Jump start guy said I need a battery tender if I'm not going to drive more than 4 days

I was traveling for about 10 days and my car started no problem.

I left my car at the airport for 11 (very long) days last month and didn't have an issue.
