Well, I am not really a fan of the S2000, and I enjoyed their build quite a bit! NOS was interesting and definitely pretty unique for S2ks afaik. As far as the cosmetic stuff goes, I think it looked okay, but I don't think S2ks look particularly interesting anyways. I'm glad they got rid of it and moved on, as that is the beauty of their show, but I'm also very glad they bought one in the first place, as it was pretty left-field from their usual stuff.

I'm only saying 86 since the wallpaper in their last video is an 86. We shall see.

Goddammit, I'm not meant to be a sedentary desk jockey!... I just outgrew my reserve fat-pants. So as of today, I am the fattest I've ever been. Time to start exercising again.

... Not because I actually care about my weight or body image (with my lifestyle I won't live to see 40 anyway), but because my newly acquired fat ass is officially bringing my BRZ's MPG significantly down. Time for some weight reduction! haha

I need to get back on the grind as well! 2 years ago in college I was in the best shape of my life, now I graduated, have a full time job, and sit at a desk programming, I've put on a few

Also one of my DRL's went out. Maybe I should get iJDMToy to send me a free one since they're using my pic on their Amazon store, lol.

Working in health care - always on my feet.
Sometimes I wish I could sit all day. Hah.

I guess the grass really is greener on the other side

Exactly the same story as me man. Two years out as well.

Okay, so I'm thinking a BRZ or WRX might be a good car to buy (funny how I've been on this forum for so many years and only now I'm thinking of buying one lol), and so I call some dealerships up... Scion dealer says only automatics in stock, closest Subaru dealer says no test drives?? :/ Is this a joke or something?

Are there only one of each dealership near you? Usually if you find a shitty dealer, the best option is to just go to the next one and keep trying.

I've bought cars from dealers in different stays on numerous occasions. If you're up for the drive is often a good way to find better deals from more honest dealerships.

Nah, there's another dealer about 25 minutes out so not too bad but I was hoping I didn't have to drive that far. I'm just shocked that a Subaru dealer would not allow test drives? It's not like they're selling Lambos or Ferraris. How are they going to convince people to buy a brand new WRX without allowing a test drive?

I'm also hoping this isn't a common problem overall, there are some used M3s at a couple dealers that I'm really hoping I can test drive. Yes they're wasteful fat pigs but the loud V8 noises are possibly worth it lol. I've always wanted to wring an E90 M3 out.

In case anyone is wondering, that is a detail from Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch. Not to be confused with Robert Bosch, inventor of the spark plug.
Painted between 1480 and 1505 and currently on display in Museo del Prado, Madrid.
The whole triptych looks like this:

There's a lot of other entertaining details, which can be studied by downloading the 512 megapixel version from Wikimedia Commons.
