And with the fluids that come from the factory these days, they are designed to go longer.

So yeah, I'm waiting til 7.5k. Hardest part will be handing the keys over to the dealer because I've NEVER let anyone else change my oil - ever. I want to be like, "can you just give me the oil and filter and I'll do it myself at home??" Ha!!

I hear that! I guess I am old school and did #1 change myself at 2K to get the initial break in crap out as indicated by oil analysis by other ppls. Since my BRZ came from out of state I get no free dealer oil changes. Last FREE dealer OC on my wife's VW CC they over torqued the drain plug ruining the threads on the plug. Fortunately the pan was OK. I like FREE but, it's DIY for me every 5K and needless to say, I'm done with that dealer.

Welcome! Yeah. Lot's of opportunities and meets in our community for sure. Not too long ago we did a photo shoot at the Quarry and had 19 86 cars show up. We may have to break that record in the next month or two and do another shoot!

Road rash and rock attacks to our unique urban assault vehicles are inevitable, unfortunately. I already have some small windshield chips and a rock nailed me on the roof a couple of months ago. Get some xpel on that front bumper as soon as you can afford it! It's a warzone out there!!!

[Newguy]

I'm in for a meet like that...I'll see if it doesn't conflict with work...but would definitely like to be a part of that

Yeah, over near Culebra and Ingram.

Yeah I am used to rock chips, I had an mr2 before and lrobably had over 100 rock chips. The downside of owning an awesome car I guess haha. I am really surprised theres not more hot lava models. Universal toyota and north park both have one of each. North park also has a red and gray one, sorry dont know all the actuall color names yet. Oh they also had a "used" AT at north park, but it had had its fender liners taken out and the washer fluid reservoir was damaged.

I test drove two genesis coupes. One had the paddle shifters, those things sucked, the shifting wasnt sharp, I would upshift and there would be close to a second lag before it would shift, plus those things handle ligs pigs stock, I felt like I was driving a big sedan. They have nice power though with that v6, but aside from that I dont see the appeal.

[Newguy]

Did you mean that the paddle shifters sucked? Cause the if those arent good and the ones in the FRS are better I'm happy I went with the better choice

Oh dude the paddle shifters in the frs are amazing compared to the Hyundais, apparently all their shifters are the same. They just had this terrible lag when you were shifting, plus the coupes are heavy. FRS definitely a better choice, by far.
