Thinks she cares about all the neat things you have done to maintain the integrtiy of your car? LOL Good luck!

Yup, respect. My wife drives an Impreza Sportwagon and I doubt if it's ever been over 4,000rpm in the 9 years she's had it.
And I'm OK with that because she doesn't crit me when I give my cars a good hiding.

The only time I ever drove her Impreza, I picked up 2 speeding tickets in one trip and she was seriously not impressed because they came through the mail to her.....

My favorite things about my BRZ:

Stock additions:

Keyless Ignition/Entry - Very overlooked assest IMHO...I can't tell you how great it is to not have to take a key out of my pocket to get in/lock/start my car. Its not that i'm lazy, but its less of a chance of them scratching anything.

Auto Dimming Mirror - I will never own a car again without one now.

Aftermarket parts:

*DUN DUN DUN* Airlift Air Struts/Management system
Perrin Tune
Kartboy Short Shifter

If I had to name one, the tune...but I honestly love every part i've installed on the car. If I didn't, it wouldn't be on there!

Why: I recorded the girl who backed in to my car and got her to admit it was her fault. I also recorded the dealership doing burnouts in my car and the manager badmouthing me for bringing my car in to them, complete with lots of cursing. I also recorded the service writer doing cocaine in their parking lot.

Second place, CARSMO armrest.

While the rest of my mods are nice and I do not regret them at all, those two have made the most difference.

I think it was $380ish installed by Toyota and part of my factory warranty.
Is that something they ordered in or what? I would like for it to be under warranty, but for half the price I could do the Subaru mirror.

Haha nice

My wife is the same way. She drives way too slow. It's funny though, because she will criticize me for how fast I drive, yet wont drive herself in the nasty weather.

I am guessing it is the standard Toyota option (universal mounting, etc.). Mine was installed by Toyota and is covered by my factory warranty. I may not have gotten the best deal, but there is zero worry with it.

So true. That's why I don't take my car to Walmart.
