Where and what time is the car meet tomorrow morning in round rock?

ALSO:

WTT: I would like to trade my DGM BRZ WINGLESS trunk for a DGM BRZ trunk W/Wing

My trunk is in perfect condition and so should yours. Mine hasn't been de-badged.

I am located in the Austin, TX area. I'm willing to drive a fair distance to meet up and exchange trunks.

Thank you in advanced. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.

Pretty sure I saw Odd today on lamar around 530, I was in the forester though...

statefarm for the win.

statefarm/allstate seem to be god tier insurance companies. definitely paid out in the past. no issues.

I ran some calculations and I could pay geico about half of what I pay statefarm a month. Happy to give state farm my money

Geico is another one I have heard bad things about.

EDIT: Nvm, I think I'm gonna hit up Pro Car Audio. They have 5 Star reviews and are a few minutes away from me. I'm taking my car there anyways to get my OEM Audio installed...but I just noticed they do car security as well...so I'll ask them about that while I'm there.

The OEM Audio + is pretty easy to install (the only hard part for me, and I'd never done interior work before, was reattaching some clips for the carpet on the back of the back seat), you should be able to DIY or have someone on the forum help you. I'd do it for you but I'm traveling for work for a month straight.

Getting ready for Autocross here at COTA!

Awesome, that photo was taken before I got there. I really hope we earned a second trip for Spokes to host an event there again. At some point though I want on the GP track!

Here is my vid from the fastest lap I had on the day.

That last bend before the finish was chewing me up. I kept going in too hot. Even after one of the guys gave me some great advice on the grid for my 6th run I was not able to slow down enough to take it smoothly.

That looks like so much fun!! Great job!

I was up till midnight installing my Mishimoto radiator. Swapped all spring clamps to worm clamps on the Mishimoto hoses. Damn it was hot outside yesterday.

I should've taken a picture to show y'all the damage. Basically the thieves broke the screen off in a terrible attempt to pull the whole unit out. The end result was a crooked, bent up base of the stereo unit with a missing screen. Progressive thinks they can just bend things back into place and put a new screen on it....

I would ask them for a $500 comp and either replace with aftermarket or get a used

I finally spoke to the repair shop and they let me know that they will replace the entire unit. Hopefully it arrives early this week. I've been dying to get this OEM Audio system installed!

Final Progressive update: Got my car back this morning. To my surprise everything looked perfect. The new Nav still has the plastic on it. Everything was great up until I said, "So, is my check in the mail to cover my stolen subwoofer?"

The agent started panicking and shoveling through paperwork. It took another 15 minutes but he went from supervisor to supervisor until finally he came to me with a printed check for exactly the amount that was on a receipt I had given them showing the cost of my stolen sub/amp.

I'm very thankful that the agent was able to take care of me right then and there, but it seemed too obvious that they were hoping I'd forget about that reimbursement.

I dropped my car off across the street at Pro Car Audio where I'm having my OEM Audio installed along with an alarm system.
Can't wait to get my car back tomorrow!! It felt so good seeing it in good condition after what felt like an eternity.

P.S. The BRZ interior feels HUGE compared to a Mustang.

This is the jack I've got now:

Should help reach in the front to the jacking point without pushing up against the bumper. These jacks and jackstands are quite good for being from the cheapo store. Highly recommend both.

This one is also very heavy, lol.

so with my new cwest kit, I too have outgrown that jack you sold me. I can BARELY lift it off the rear diff, but it takes about 20 micro pumps before it gets up to really start lifting. I'm pretty amazed honestly.

which jack did you end up getting? the one you quoted here? recommend it? how much you pay?
