No not fat, big boned or muscular but not fat! hehe

It's funny, when ever I see a BRZ mixed in with the other models at a Subaru dealer I always think how small it looks. Your photo shows it the other way around.

Had Verus CF Driveshaft installed at The Racers Line. I don't have a good way to lift the car, so it was easier and less time consuming to have Neal do it.

Impressions:
Did not have a lot of time driving the car but there were noticeable changes. Tends to have a bit of a wind up to it which takes some of the harshness of the drivetrain out. 1st to 2nd transition seems a bit smoother. Engine accelerates a little faster, not a lot but noticeable. In some ways is a little quieter, in another way I sensed a bit of a harmonic sound coming from it at cruising speeds. It was very slight and it was hard to determine if it was what I was actually feeling/hearing One thing I did notice is that on the road I live there is one real crummy bumpy section that always seems to torture the drivetrain. It seemed a lot less noticeable with the CF DS. Still a little too soon to come down with a definitive opinion on the installation. It seems like an improvement. Will give it a bit more time.

Hav a project for this weekend.

Cool photo!

I had a '02 S2000 and a '10 MX-5 with the power retractable hard top. Both were fun, but I like my '18 BRZ the most. Yes, even against the S2000.

Funny thing about this line-up, the NA1 NSX is still my dream car. Someday...

I have some issues with blind spot in this car, happened twice, and couldn't notice a car next to me, nothing happened and I am safe. How to overcome this issue?

Adjust your side mirrors for the blind spot. That wasn't enough for me so I bought wide angle mirrors and now it feels like I can see the whole road in them

I bought 2" round stick-on convex mirrors for a couple of bucks and put them on the bottom outer corner of the side-mirrors. No more surprises in my blindspots, no need to buy expensive wide-angle mirrors. Regardless of the solution you pick you should still shoulder check.

They also make it way easier to avoid scraping your wheels when parking up against a curb because the convex shape lets you see down beside your car.

Physically move your head to look next to you, problem solved.

Yup. You have to do a lean forward and look kind of move and now it's become second nature so I look like an idiot ducking forward in cars with good visibility. I can see how this may be an issue for older people or people with back issues though.

I never had this issue with Honda Pilot, more to learn.
