RWD's can be intimidating at first no doubt. The best way to get over any fears is to let the car lose rear traction in a controlled environment, your confidence will go through the roof. I got so adept at car control in my S14 i would take left turns, kick the back end out, and be able to aim the front left and rear right tire just about right where i wanted them everytime ..Oh and the fun i had at roundabouts in the middle of the night..lol

You DO have the balls...they're just buried deep inside you....sick..
You know what? just like what Mr. Jay Said... I am not willing to wait until next year to get my BRZ. No thanks.

Waiting for them to descend! LOL! PUBERTTYYY LOL

If they can offer a 2.9 financing rate, with a grad rebate program for a white DV1SS, then I am all for it. LOL

Yikes..a grad rebate..hmm..i don't think subaru appreaciates education as much as toyota does Subaru engineers are self Taught yo!

Am i seriously going to be THE BRZ at our FR-S meets?..haha

One of my possible planned mods for the BRZ, I thought it be cool to have the FRS Front bumper...on a WRB BRZ..Wow..gorgeous . The other route is to just wait for vertex or chargespeed to make a nice non-aggressive bumper for the BRZ

Subaru doesn't have one IIRC and a Scion at a Subaru :-s

Edit: Oops answered my own question by looking closer at the one pic. It is his Scion dealership across from Marriott on Hornby.
Lol... Yes I meant Scion. Was thinking too much about the BRZ, since I wasn't even considering the FR-S.

Not too bad, interior is kinda meeh though, but they did what they had to to keep prices low.

That's what Solo2 / Autocross is great for! You can safely explore the limits and even if (when) you step over them all that'll happen is you'll hit an orange cone.

The Vancouver area has quite a few events to try out, eg: http://www.vcmc.ca/forum/forumdispla...-Racing-events

If its the same as the one used in the US, you can find the manual here.

It's ugly as sin but its pretty feature rich.

I think the one we saw was different, I don't remember the two huge circles. It was on a piece of paper and probably black and white, so I'm not sure if we really are getting the one I saw as standard.

The interior is definitely quite low. I am scared that the seats might not last or they might stain over time because of the cloth material they use - seems very felt-ish. LOL. I am scared that they are going to have pulls or what not on them.

AUTO!? LOL. Yeah, you're the keeper. AHHA. But a very good bf to let her drive it 90% of the time.

How about you take the 10% of the time that you're here to teach her how to drive manual so that you can a) save money b) have lower resale value c) have better fuel efficiency, d) have funnnnn NO? LOL.

Hey Ikaros, that is exactly the same unit! It is definitely feature rich as it has XM radio. I don't think the more expensive one has it.

What do you guys think of this head unit to replace the stock one? I think its gonna be pretty sick.

Too bad I don't know how to wire it up... remember? i am a noobbb.

lol, I don't think there would be any bolts involved so you're gonna be OK xD

Weird, maybe it's cause it was printed in low quality on the paper then, cause I thought it was something else.
