Hey guys! It's me!

If all goes according to plan, I will be looking to purchase a BRZ within the next 3 months. I'm very much a car guy, but even though I'm 24, I've only ever owned one car for the past 7 years: a handed-down 1998 Subaru Legacy Outback (automatic... blah!) Still, I've managed to have fun with it. I kept the stock ride height, but it's got some fat sway-bars, bigger wheels and tires, and a whole host of other tweaks inside and out.

Anyway, hopefully I'll be able to participate much more in these forums in the near future! My Outback currently has 276,000 miles on it, so that's my excuse for this new car :P

Now I will spam with some photos which none of you are likely interested in!

Hey guys,

Just picked up a 2013 BRZ Sport Tech (Canadian version of Limited I guess) last week. I'm from Winnipeg but flew to Calgary to pick it up due to colors that were available, and the deal I got. The drive home got me through the break-in period as well before I store it for the winter.

I put a TRD Exhaust on it the day after I got home, and just ordered some 17x9 GramLight 57DR's in Gun Blue yesterday. Plans before spring include lowering (springs probably), audio upgrades, and maybe a front lip and side skirts.

Here's a pic of it when I picked up last Tuesday at Subaru Calgary:

Just bought a 2013 Satin White Pearl BRZ! Immediately took my wife to Jimmie Johns where one of the workers ran out to tell me how much he loved the BRZ and that it was his dream car.

Hello all, I've been lurking here while waiting for delivery of MY14 BRZ Sport-Tech. It (finally) arrived (10/25/13) at the dock here in St. John's, now waiting for it to be delivered to our dealership, (I'm a tech at Capital Subaru). I will have it in my possession by Tuesday 10/29/30, and hopefully get it broken in before winter storage. I was going to wait for spring before buying, but we can't keep BRZ's on the lot! A stock pile of parts have accumulated since being ordered and I can't wait to get them installed, I'm more anxious to get the parts installed then to get the car itself, sorta. Anyhow, I looking forward to contributing to the community during my ownership.

I've been lurking like a champ the past week or so. So I'm new but not in the club just yet ... Waiting for the right deal and dealer.

Almost leased an FRS a couple of weeks ago, but then I thought better of leasing in general and also not getting all the tech that the brz limited has. So now I'm working with a local dealer and perhaps ordering a SWP limited. Waiting to see what kind of deal (or lack thereof) they will do.

In any case I'm really excited about owning this car. The more I look the more I want one.

Can anyone point me to a thread where people have listed what they paid for theirs? Thanks!

Pollo- get in contact with Clint. He has a few topics and goes by heuberg since that's the dealer he works for if you want a brz. You won't get a better price

I traded my 2012 base mini for my 2013 BRZ. So glad I did. That car had no power at all. Interesting interior design though. More impressed with the simplicity of my car.

The Cooper S is pretty peppy. Really when comparing the MINI to the Twins you have to compare the S to them. The Base Cooper isn't even remotely the same purpose anyways.

The Cooper was a fun car to have and even enjoyed autox, but was time for a change and happy to be enjoying some RWD!
