In other news, the BRZ I'm purchasing comes generically modified and I'm looking forward to reverting it to stock... am I doing this right?

It currently has full exhaust + OFT tune, coilovers, and a few other bits that are all coming off. Game plan in my head is for stock suspension, stock exhaust other than catback, camber bolts, and a shift knob (oh and $70,000 in engine work to make it some insane do-it-all NA FA20 thing ).

Then body will be made out of complete carbon fiber. Then I’ll slowly move the interior to white carbon fiber. Don’t want to spend 100k on a car already built would rather spend 40k on something I did without touching the motor. Then plan on spending 60k on the motor. Excluding the ev swap.

Brilliant, I did chuckle when I noticed it was a twin. It wasn't intentional, just searched Google Images and picked off the first row

His posts are brain breakingly stupid. He has to be trolling.

Went down a rabbit hole and am thinking about changing my car's setup again. Anyone want a good deal on a GTC-200?

Had a random weird day yesterday. Was walking the dog in my apartment complex with another neighbor and their dog, and then we ran into a guy walking his dog. So our friend asks the dude for their names and stuff, he says they just moved in with his wife. Then he tells us he's originally from X town. So I say "hey wait a sec, same here. I went to Y high school." Then he says he went there too, class of 08 (I was class of 11) so apparently we may have crossed paths. He said I looked a little familiar but tbh I didn't recognize him at all.

Then in the afternoon I was walking Haru again and ran into the dudes wife walking their dog again. I realized holy shit she was also in my graduating class. We never had classes together but I knew a lot of her friends and I remember since she was a lifeguard after school at our pool she was there sometimes when I lap swimmed lol.

She didn't recognize me at all tho and I acted like I had no idea who she was.

This'll be interesting. Never thought I'd be neighbors with people from high school in another city.
