Glad you're sort of OK, hope you stick around. Would you like your badge retired or retained in the Registry?

Nope, no airbags deployed at all. If the side curtain had then i wouldn't have hit my head on the drivers side window and gotten my concussion.

I wanna stick around. Either another 10 Series, a Monogram or *GASP* a BRZ Limited! It would be cool to have owned one of each of the twins!

Retire it but say "Wrecked by 0351USMC" next to it.

I was thinking "Wrecked by Bambi".

If shopping new, options might be limited to Mono or BRZ. Personally, a new Mono checks all the boxes with a wider, more customer friendly dealer network than Subaru I believe.

Hi guys, #1686 reporting in. New member here. Have had this car for about 10 months now.

My license plate also has 86 at the end (unintentional!)

#1988, original owner purchased 1/22/15 with 73 miles. I think I got a decent deal for $19,100 from a Toyota dealer listing on ebay.

He didn't have much competition bidding on a sports car during a blizzard, had a brilliant snipe ready and the dealership was brand new to eBay and may have messed up the auction reserve.

THAT'S A STEAL!

Yeah the dealership was a hassle, I was lied to, and it was delivered covered in mud. However, after getting it cleaned and driving it, it was well worth the discount. There was another listing for another one that sold for $18,800; I don't know if it was ever actually picked up.

Sign me up! #0182. One owner, he had it for 16K miles, then returned it to the dealership where he originally bought it from where my wife works. I found it online, didn't tell her about it, scheduled a test drive, then she ended up being the salesman who "sold" it to me and made a big commission. I called my bank and they sent over the check within the hour and I was out the door for $19,995! All service records available, and a meticulously maintained FR-S with no issues.

Innovative way to get approval from the other half, congrats!

You're not, I took mine to a dealer twice. Each time I waited an hour for them to YouTube the feature and glance at the documentation I laid out. I was told I'd have to leave the car a full day, and they wouldn't provide a rental car because apparently I'm not old enough, but im old enough to buy a new rwd sport car.

Anyone have the common issue? I've heard a computer module in the center console. The dealership is not an option in diagnosing, but will replace parts if I find the issue.

Don't recall anyone having your issue.

IIRC, owners get a loaner only if the car is kept overnight.

I was told to have someone drop me off or rent a car, it would be overnight. I guess I'll have to live without it, at least until there's some 10 series partouts I can nab the switches and computers and do it myself.

The dash has never lit up on my 10 Series either. Odd, but never bothered me enough to take it to the dealer.
