We had all of our pre-owned FR-S and a BRZ in the showroom. The BRZ I sold last month was a '13. I had to jump it to go for a spin. Didn't have any issues after, but we let the engine run after the test drive and during the time it was with my detailing crew.

Oddly enough, all three twins sold within an hour of each other. lol.

Not sure why the guy at the dealer I was at couldn't jump it. Odd, but who knows.

Haha. Another sales guy I spoke to there told me when they have just one or two on the lot they sell very quickly, but if they get 4 or 5 then they go very slowly.

Maybe the first guy is a noob, and forgot to turn on the jumper box.

Second guy is right. The three twins sat for at least 3 to 4 weeks (which is very long for us since our average turn over is a little over a week). That's why it was odd and funny that they pretty much sold at the same time.

Since this was requested, photos from my Sunday morning drive with the husband. Verdict: yes, he has more power than I do, but even with the ST's handling, it's no match for the FR-S in the curves.

(NOTE: some of these are incredibly nerdy - can you identify why?

)

Kaotic Lazagna · 04-24-2016, 04:15 PM

The fill up pic is the nerdy pic?

Have some nice backdrops out there. I'd me more inclined to take pics of my car if I was out there. Haha

Nope - the fill up isn't the nerdy pic.

Third and fourth pics: 5858 Lucas Valley Road. Otherwise known as Skywalker Ranch

So on the way home from work today I headed out through Niles Canyon then decided to run Palomares back up into Palo Verde/Eden Canyon then hop on 580.
First of all, this is the 3rd time I've done that and I think running Palamores from Niles up int Palo Verde/Eden Canyon is ALOT funner then opposite direction.
Second of all, that same cyclist that yelled at me(and Drew); the one who swerved towards me on the last 86 Drive......he yelled at me AGAIN today. The difference today was I was pretty much cruising....not even spirited driving..it was the last corner before you come up to stop sign at Palo Verde. I was maybe going 45 through the big sweeping corner(speed limit is 40mph according to signage in that area).
I was about to flip a bitch and have a word with the so "entitled" douchebag but I held my cool and just said fuck it and kept going...

I have no problem with cyclists on back roads and all..but when a guy like that pulls shit like that...he's gonna get an ass whoopin one day or worst get himself killed by doing dumb shit like swerving at cars

Pretty much everybody who lives on Palomares hates the bicyclists.

I got to chill with some friends and beers out on a sailboat at McCovey Cove yesterday for the Giants game.

So fun. Highly recommend if you ever get a chance.
