Wow, this sucks. I definitely need to start checking my wheels. Sorry to hear about that

270 degree "turn"/entry onto highway, recommended corner speed 35km/h, taking it around 60-70km/h, road wet from earlier rain.... straightening up, even with all the nannies on I threw the tail out.

That's a moment to make you go "let's not do that again, dumbass."

Those Prius drivers man.. they have a need for speed, especially here in Cali. I've scraped 3 times now, twice getting out of steep driveways, and once on a parking block, pulled in too close.

I bought my BRZ used with 5k on it. The original owner removed the badges except for the front one that he had painted pearl white to match the car. I wanted to remove the paint and return the front Subaru emblem to stock. I removed the emblem from the car and used some paint stripper to remove the paint. It ate into the plastic on the emblem and it is now rubish as they say on Top Gear. If anyone with a BRZ has removed your emblems and would like to sell them to me, PM me please and let me know what you want for it/them.

Dropped my car off at the dealer.

Haha I had a prius C chase me around lake tahoe yesterday, I had a lot of weight in the back (camping gear) so he was taking advantage of his lighter weight - I was still losing him in the corners driving normally.

I screwed up by waving at a corolla that had a hood scoop!

Most important thing for me when something like that happens is to not brake inside the turn or the tail will definitely go, rain or not it makes you glad that you left TC on when that happens.

LOVE this thread!!

I broke the head off the bolt that holds the factory exhaust tip in place...spent 2 hours drilling the threads out so I could get the tip off for my new Perrin tips. Fortuantely I had all the tools and an open schedule but damn that's a crappy position to hold a dremel for 2 hours...the tips look great tho...pics soon.

Well, it was not today, but a while back. Pointed out a deep scratch in my trunk to the dealer. The dealer had one of the techs take it back to buff it out for free. Came back and the scratch is still there, but not as visible, but now the paint has horrible swirl marks and bugs the hell out of me every time I see it under the sun light
