I want to quote your posts, but something's wrong with vBulletin right now.

Here in the U.S., we have the BRZ Premium and Limited. Premium is the equivalent of the lower tier models such as the Scion FR-S (no push-start button, no heated seats, and no dual climate control IIRC), and Limited is the higher spec models with the above mentioned features.

I actually desire a rear fog light myself to be honest.

I think I pic Monday my cam to the dealer for some pics of the new pure Modell.

Just last week my wife and I were going down the highway (I was driving her car since she won't get in mine) and she was on Facebook on her phone.
We came up behind a truck being towed like that and since she was so intent on some drink recipe or something I just let out a fake, but very loud, gasp. She looked up, screamed, dropped her phone, grabbed the dash and screamed again.
I was in deep shit for about 2 days (it was my fault of course).

My Dad used to love to tell a story where he did something similar.
He worked power line construction for several years. He and a coworker (a longtime friend) were going from North Carolina through the mountains in a blinding snow storm to Tennessee to help with outages there. His buddy fell fast asleep. The convoy of about 5 trucks decided to stop for a coffee refill at some truck stop. My Dad was in the last truck and the available parking spot was right in front of a telephone pole in full view of the rest of the convoy.


My Dad rolled up on the spot at about 5MPH with the pole right in the middle of the windshield. He slammed on the brakes and yelled "OH F**K!" The guy woke up, looked up and bailed out of the truck (no seatbelts of course, it was the early '60s.) My father then rolled the truck to a slow stop.


His coworker was forever known after that as "Jumper" amongst the crew.

The old 1952-55 GMC deuce and a half trucks that the army was still using when I joined had an electric fuel pump system controlled by a switch on the dash. If you turned it off while moving, waited exactly 3 seconds and then turned it back on you got a massive backfire that sounded like you just blew up.
When taking the FNGs out on their first ammo supply run we would tell them how sometimes the load would just explode for no reason (you can see where this is headed I bet). Would drive for a little bit and switch off the fuel. Had to grab more then one guy that tried to bail while at speed.
This was also fun when driving through a town with people on the streets when the truck was plastered with Danger Explosives signs.

How about a "I can't drive for 2 more years but will get a BRZ then, What mods should I get first" thread? Is that close enough?

Just do what I do when I have my 2 hour each way commute on a major highway. Leave at 5am or so and go home at 2pm. I never have traffic or idiot issues. Now those hours may not work for your job but tell them that is what you want to do.
