EDIT: Took another look and it seems the friendly conversation would not have started if you didn't say "he thinks his opinions matter." Just my outlook, though.

P.S. a GT-R wing looks surprisingly decent on a BRZ. But you'd do better than a GT-R wing. Just my two cents.

Yeah I can't lie, I partially instigated as well. Lol. But I like the low profile look of the GT-R wing! I guess I'm going for form over function here.....

*I love the irony. I'm posting my opinion lol. With that in mind I suggest a chocolate milkshake.

Your post actually convinced me to get a shake yesterday! But I got vanilla, because no one else's opinion matters. lol.

I need to work on my sarcasm. That would have been a hell of a response. Damn it.

At least on here there's a sense of camaraderie when someone tells you that they look like "rice mobile". Because they drive that same "rice mobile". Lol.

It's difficult but not impossible. I am 31 and pitched Facebook around a year ago, and while it did "cost" me in some ways, the net improvement to my life has been pretty huge, honestly.

Sometimes people suggest taking a 2-week vacation from FB and other social media to see how much you really miss it, but I'd say it takes more like a month or so, and by then, people that reach you that way may have written you off as a jerk.

One day I'll be brave enough and give myself a social media cleanse. Perhaps once I graduate college.

I think putting all that shit on these cars ruins their look. They take their design from the Toyota 2000 a clean sexy little car from days ago. But that's just me.

That's a nice looking car, and I'm sure many others will agree with you. But I like putting a little "shit" on my car. Just to make it personal in a sense. I saw this and fell in love! Name:  ImageUploadedByTapatalk1449966514.731119.jpg

Like I said that's just me. I like the vintage look it has. Also a GTR is a ricers wet dream. There's one in town that acts a Dumbass . I saw a late model mustang embarrass it. For the money or ld have a Vette or audi R8. This was supposed to be the reincarnation of the skyline. I think Nissan missed

FYI, the Skyline is and always has been in production. It's still sold here as the Q50 and Q60, and before that, the G35 and G37 (the latter still being available in coupe form under the new Q60 name).

Every misinformed JDM fanboy loves to jack off to the Skyline name and call the current GT-R a Skyline, even though it's not really a Skyline, much like the MKIV Supra isn't a Celica and the GT86 isn't a Corolla.

As far as your choices go, I agree with at least the R8 being a better option in terms of driving fun than a GT-R.

And this is exactly why I don't open my mouth about the GT-R, cause I don't know anything about it and could care less for it, except it's wing. Because I want it. 😛

I mean no hostilities towards anyone; I'm just mentioning how the Skyline name is mistakenly slapped on to the R35.
