If anyone is interested, myself and a couple of the other Grand Rapids FR-S owners are turning this car show at one of the local universities into a mini-meet along with some of the 3000GT/Stealth crowd. If anyone's free, I'd love to have some BRZs come out and say hi... and obviously other FRS owners are invited as well haha

Rundown: April 13th, 11AM-3PM, usually a 100+ car turnout so its getting up there in size.

More info/registration can be found here: http://www.gvcarshow.com/?view=home

oh and its a FREE event so no worries there!

Installed my CF eyelids. Pretty subtle but I like it especially with my side mirrors

Very nice. Much more subtle than I would have guessed but a really nice touch.

Yup, what Cameron said.

I couldn't see the spoiler but I spotted the fogs.

Quick question, do you guys know any touchless car washes in Sterling Heights near Kart 2 Kart?

I will be driving ~130 miles so it might be good to clean up the old girl before the event.

Why is it that every TDI Gulf I come across wants to race me? I really don't drive like a douche bag. But I get a lot of cars and people who line up and try and get me to race them. lol

I suspect that it is all in one's head. Many people just want to get to where they are going quickly just as myself with this car. We are different people when we get in different cars. Your situations may be different from mine but with the situation you describe, I would just roll out normally and not let yahoos, knuckleheads or mulletheads bother me.

No I don't race a single one of them. But they are for sure racing me. They rip their tires loose and speed away. I guess maybe it is because I make eye contact with people around me. I was looking at their car and maybe they thought they had to prove something lol. Yeah I don't get worked up or bothered about it, kind of funny to me, just saying I seem to be a magnet for races.

For sure. It is kind of funny, sometimes I will take off real fast with them and then peel off at the speed limit and they go on for another 30 mph or more and I just wait for the day the cops pull them over. They love to do it on Woodward and that road is a police magnet.

Haha I can't lie. I kinda do the same. At the red light rev a little bit and inch forward then when it turns green just go like normal and see them peel away and realize no one is racing them haha
