Anyone wanna spectate a race at Sonoma tomorrow? Got an extra ticket! EDIT: taken.

Also: Dangit. I just drove like 10 miles on a 100% flat tire. The coilovers have been on less than a week, I just figured they were breaking in and causing oversteer somehow. And scraping

Oops?

Which version did he get? Why unhappiness at another man's happiness?

Daily thought- ok, so I'm kinda looking into new rims for the frs, but there's not a whole lot of options I like. I'm thinking of going black steelie rims. I'm looking at 17x8 and 17x9 for that offset, but to get the nice pretty steelies that I want I'm going to also have to run an adaptor from 5x100 to 5x4.75, which will be about an inch wide. The rims look to have about a +20 to +30 offset. So my question becomes- do yall think these will even fit if I decide to l9we it in the future? I'm worried they will stick out like crazy. The only other advantage is that the wheels and spacers total out to less than 500 bucks. Just thoughts...

He's got the full-on F-Type R. More jealous than sad, hehe, but he has driven my car and thinks that BRZ handles much better since its about 700 lbs lighter. The sound track of that super charged V8, with all the pops, whines and gurgles, on the other hand, is hard to ignore.

EAGLE5 · 09-01-2015, 12:59 PM

Probably more like 1000lbs if it's the newest model with awd. I think envy is fine and can even be a positive emotion if dealt with properly. Envy sometimes motivates me to do my best. It doesn't make me sad though, nor does it make me dislike somebody.

Its human nature to be selfish, which is not necessarily a bad thing, we wouldn't be around if we were all completely selfless. Its the same reason we are all narcissistic (facebook, build threads, etc.), procreate (to pass down OUR own superior genes, not that other dude's) and live in a society (mutual benefit). I agree that envy drives us to get what we want, which in turn drives us to push ourselves, improving ourselves in the process.

Wow... its been a long time since junior college psychology

It's gonna stick out, but you may also have inner clearance issues. Can't remember, are you on stock sturts? How big are the spacers? If you calculate the effective offset after spacers you can check the wheel fitment thread and check pics

Years ago, my ex-boss got an XKR convertible. Oh, he was so proud. He was/is the biggest douche. Now he owns a Porsche speed shop. Says a lot about that brand.

I heard there was a car show in Japan Town SF sometime this month. Does anyone know about this?
