I am an instructor for the BMW club, and you do not need a BMW to come out an play with us, your 86 would work just fine. Here is our chapter website:

That's a really good idea, however since its 100% the other driver's fault my deductable will end up being reimbursed by his insurance company in the end. So I'm going to get it properly fixed.

Plus with life changes I may be getting a different car so I want it to be 100%

Glad you don't have to pay anything! The guy that totalled my hood with a softball remains anonymous, so I had the pleasure of paying for it.

Well boys and girls, I bit the bullet and ordered the TRD semi bucket seat. I figured since my car will always be slow I might as well make it appear fast lol. Also, I decided on only ordering one seat for two reasons. 1. the price ($2235 per seat) and 2. It eliminates the side airbag which I would like to have for my passenger.

Welcome, good to see new (or future) owners here. We haven't been too active lately, but I'm sure things will pick up in spring.

I think there is one on Lyndale in Bloomington right behind the Paradise car wash.

I am not sure if any of you have seen this, but it seemed fitting since it is the holiday season. They will start making them again if 11 more people order. Everyone needs a BRZ ugly Christmas shirt.

I know there is a "pay and spray" on '17' in Shakopee but that is a little out of your way. They do seem to be nearing extinction.
