Hello all,

Thought I'd introduce myself a bit here since I am new to the forums. I am from SoCal and am in the process of buying the new Toyota 86 860. Just waiting on the car to arrive from the port of Long Beach to the dealer. Also, I have an AE86 that is heavily modified and have been the proud owner of for many years. I am looking forward to being the owner of a new GT86. It's nice to meet you all and hope waste a lot of time on these forums.

Hello From Houston

Hi All,

Regular gear head here. Big fan of Japanese toys, especially sports cars and motorcycles...have a couple in my stable ('86 Starion ESi-R, '88 Conquest TSi, '87 Dodge Raider/Mitsubishi Pajero, '03 CBRF4i, '11 CBR1000rr)

Looking into the FRS/BRZ as a strong possibility for my daughter and here to learn anything and everything I can.

Cheers!

Finally joined the family this weekend!

Here she is sitting at the dealer next to my GF's brother's BRZ.


And here she is parked after a 4 hour trip home.

Thanks!


I'm not sure the tint level actually, it was already tinted. I did have a Mazda3 previously that I had a 35% tint on, and it seems similar. Being that I've only had the car since Saturday, I briefly drove it for the first time last night and it seemed fine. No noticeable visibility issues!

I am new here and I have bought a 2013 Subaru BRZ Limited. I have been looking for a clean Miata for awhile. I have seen no used Subaru BRZ's. The car was barely on my radar due to not finding a used one. I found a clean one that was Stock. It was a lease with all maintenance done. I few little dings in the front do to parking but otherwise in great shape. I am only going to do light mods. I want a good handling car. I don't understand people putting V8 in the car. To me it would ruin its great traits. Tires, maybe suspension eventually. If the car had been a Toyota or a Scion I would have passed on it. I know it is the same car but Subaru knows the quirks of this motor. Toyota just lives on past glory. I am not a fan of Toyota. If there is a Sh!ty driver in front of me 95% of the time they are in a lack luster Toyota. No offense to the Toyota fan boys my opinion only. I am opinionated, grouchy, cripple. I was hit head on on my motorcycle. I am trying to reduce or stop my motorcycle riding. I am hoping this car gives me enough giggles to stay off bikes.
