Buying a GR86 has taken me 10 1/2 months so far. Best guess is it will take 19 months, we'll see...

Another Everyday Driver GR86 video. For those suffering a wait for the GR86, don't watch it.



Just posting this next video because it's funny. With the weather going to shit I might have to get this software to play around with.

It's not like Denver is middle of nowhere. You'd think being second in line at Colorado's biggest Toyota dealer would score you a car by now. Whatever, snow's about to start flying anyway.

Interesting. I ordered mine from Heuberger at the beginning of September and they said I should have it in January. Of course, that's a BRZ and not an 86.

Assuming that the spread is the same as the first gen then there are a shitload on each coast and it tappers down as you get more central.

And the Subaru dealer in Colorado Springs sells more Subarus than any other dealer nationwide. At least that used to be the case.

It seems weird that the GR is so hard to get. Considering they are built just over 3:1 to the BRZ. At least according to 2022 numbers.

They are marginally less ugly so more people want them!

While I wont disagree that the Z probably doesn't live up to what people might want from a sports car, I also think everyday driver are a bit OTT when it comes to their baby. Watching their BRZ/GR86 comparison was a bit of a 'eww' moment for me.
