What do you all do with your 86 for fun?

That was on my way back home to Eureka, from the place pictured. Now over 11k miles on my four month old 2015 FRS. (Most recent road trip was 8469.2mi.)

Recent trip MPG per car's computer...32.9 going east, 31.2 for overall trip...including city driving. Most freeway driving was up to 10mph over the limit, and west Texas has 80mph limit. 93 octane fuel used Texas and east of it. No such available west of Texas.

I did drive in snow in west Texas one afternoon. Ever drive 55 in an 80mph zone ? Well I have now...lol.

My only complaints: Inherent blind spots, making lane changes difficult in traffic, and paint which chips easily on the road (freeway) driving.

Is it a great road trip car ? Hell yes !

Note: Car had 16mi. on it as new to me...October 2, 2014. Car was already thoroughly tested, prior to trip, on twisty, rough roads, dirt roads, etc. in the lost coast area of Northern Cali. And I certainly did not observe any cautious break-in period prior to 500mi. as was advised. (I beat the piss out of the engine in high rpms from the get go). No oil burning observed so far.
First Oil and filter done at a Scion Stealership in Florida at 7800mi. No problems to report at that time and also now at over 11k mi.

Lived there for two years of my youth. Thanks for sharing.

There is a particular part on the left rear quarter panel that I rub my myself on. It is just that sexy. That and drive it, which puts me in the minority, sadly.

Just drive it like I stole it without being a danger to others. I was looking for any used brz then I saw the blue series blue and fk me that thing is as sexy as the day I first saw it. Them looks though and that handling... Even when it came handle it tries to go sideways which is as awesome as the handling lol

She is right months old and just had her 15k checkup. The most fun you can have out of the bedroom. Oh who am i kidding she more fun than that to.

[bdk1021]

I commute 75 miles a day in her. Only about woo of that is necessary of course. The rest is full throttle through the turns.

[bdk1021]

Eight months old and 20 miles a day. Damn auto correct.

I would think the 3M spray-on paint protection would be a better option, and might even be less expensive.

I tried 3m spray on. Long prep for not much. Protects okay but tends to lift and peel after a couple washes. Which is like a week for me. Ended up removing it all. Kinda. Its difficult to remove from seams.

Thanks! I don't put it on during open lap days, only when doing Time Attack because of the hot rubber that can come up from the crazier cars and melt into the paint. I've already accepted how easily the front end gets chipped
