Looks fantastic. Very unique without being gaudy or ricey.
What's next? I think you will run out of things to do at this pace, or at least money.

Glad I snapped up this tag number. 😛

So I WAS having a good weekend until stupidity invaded my sensibilities and I put the parking brake down and didn't step on the brake and proceeded to clean my glasses. Well the car rolled forward right under my truck and put some paint ripping gauges and a nice 14mm gash near the passenger light. Ugghh!!!

I am terribly sorry. Your car's value has gone down a bit with this hit and it is your first new car. I think you'll have to repaint the whole front. At least you didn't have a bigger damage.

Some months ago my shiny 3years old forester had a hit on the back by a young lady who lost the control of her car. Personally, I was stopped on a traffic light and then I was hit. The damage was big and the insurance of the other driver had to pay more than 13,000 $. They accepted to pay everything, but not to pay a total loss. So my forester is now fixed, but it will never be the same. E.g., in some road pavements there is a small vibration noise from behind. Thanks god I didn't have my brz at that day.

Unfortunately, this is all about cars!

You're right but New Jersey doesn't issue Japanese Katakana symbols. This is the closest to it and "TEQ" is the Americanized english version know well with Toyota enthusiasts.
