Yeah, I'm 29, I'll be 30 in August, and the sister just turned 18 in December, so I feel like a dirty old man around her sometimes...

Hehe I look forward to getting older just so I can be "that dirty old man." Come on, they get away with just about anything!

Geez tho...that aunt is almost too young for me.





...almost.

I purchased from Rally sport, but just about everyone sells it. Installed in 10mins. You will need a breaker bar to get the bolt off, and a torque wrench to put it back on.

I drove past a minivan in my daycare parking lot and saw a very sad face of a man. He saw the car I picked up my son in. I saw the deep regret that was in his face. He was driving a mini van instead of a sports car. I remembered then how close I was to buying a van.

Ha ha.

We love our minivan, but it's my wife's daily driver, and mine is the Breeze.

Going to a passenger car from the BRZ feels like you are too high off the ground...a minivan must feel like a semi in comparison.

Nothing wrong with a minivan unless you don't have a fun car too. Then there is where the problem is.

I think the funniest part is his van was probably worth more than your BRZ.

Those Odysseys and Siennas are like 40 g's.

I have no idea what van it was but...

Sad face for the only children (or ones with only one sibling) whose parents transport them in minivans or econoboxes instead of 86s, too.

From what I hear locally from 86 owners with kids, this car is almost as much fun for them to ride in as it is for mom & dad to drive them around in.

I'm on my phone so if I make mistakes, blame Sportsguy83
