WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY?

[Turkish]

Replaced the 16mm bolts on the front struts with the 14mm oem crash bolts and set for max camber, will be getting an alignment tomorrow to see just where I wound up. My goal with the bolts is to be ~-1* but I will take what I can get.

I'm so surprised this hasn't happened to me yet. The car is really small, so when I park in a space I usually have a good amount of distance. Usually it's kids that smack the door... like, they smack my door into another car door. Only lightly though.

I've been guilty of smacking a BRZ's door into a wall... @2point0 still loves me somehow.

Helped an older guy charge the batteries enough to put the slide out in for his camper.

I thought we weren't ever going to talk about that again. You just rekindled sad feelings. Now I have to go hug my car and let her know it's all ok.

I'm pretty sure that a tiny orange light, whether tinted or not, is going to go completely unnoticed when next to 5000k HID headlights at night. I'm not worried about people seeing me. It's a useless marker IMO, it doesn't even blink.

I'm not worried about tickets for crap like that anyways. If I was I wouldn't have tinted the car.

It's not just a light, it's a reflector. It's for the safety of others as well as yours. It's not just about tickets.

I have a real problem with drivers with this attitude on the road.

How would a light go completely unnoticed when next to 5K HIDs? It's a light that is there for a reason! Your sidemarker lights indicate to other drivers which direction you are traveling... It's not about getting tickets it's about other drivers safety as well as your own. Not that you seemed to be too worried about that.

This is a SMOKED sidemarker with a stage 1 led in it. It's not as bright as stock but you can see next to my HIDs it is VERY noticeable and even from a distance. Why not just get smoked sidemarkers and leave the bulb in it for everyones safety?

My freshly washed car got sprayed with nasty muddy water by the landscaping company at work. They said it just came out of the hydrant but I have a bunch of brown water spots. So pissed--I called and complained but haven't heard back from the manager yet. Dunno why they couldn't take 60 sec to ask if people wanted to move their cars--I wouldn't have minded at all.

You rekindled my pants.

There's a car show going on next weekend that I won't be able to attend, but I'm going to let a buddy borrow my car to take. Since no one but me really knows all that's been done to my car, I'm going to type out a list of my mods up til that point. My God, I'm not looking forward to that...

In our neck of the woods the law requires that side relective marker for PARKED CARS at night.

But then again we still, (like many jurisdictions) have not repealed the law requiring a person walking in front of every motor vehicle, waving a lamp so as not to frighten the horses.

Obviously I'm talking about not being worried about people being able to see me at night due to the car having very bright headlights as well as fog lamps. I'm saying in the grand scheme of lights and reflectors on the car the front corner markers easily go unnoticed--whether they're off or on.

Again I want to make it perfectly clear that I'm not trying to drive around at night and get hit.

And honestly I'm debating whether or not to wetsand them down a bit because they did turn out a bit darker than I anticipated. And I need to order some brighter LEDs for them if I'm not.

Everyone just chill a little.

I hope you're ok & I hope the best when dealing with insurance.

Hopefully it's not totaled... GBS is a precious color, there's only about 1000 around.

If it is totaled, may it rest in peace.

yeah im all ok. im ready to fight insurance if they try any Bs.
i dont think it's total because it was more of a glance hit then straight on, radiator or condenser weren't touched.
