I'm Ted, I traded in my modded '07 Mustang GT for a WRB BRZ Limited on Monday. I'd been eyeing a replacement for the Mustang for a while - wanting something smaller and more driver involving. One day I was out with a friend looking at cars for him (M3's) and on a whim we decided to swing by Chaplain's Subaru to check out the BRZ. One thing led to another and I found myself rocketing up and down E Mercer Way with the absolute widest grin on my face of all time. For months that test drive stuck with me.

Eventually, I went to Carter Subaru in Shoreline with the girlfriend - I wanted her to have a chance to drive an automatic to see how she fit and if she would be comfortable. We worked with a new (to Subaru) salesman Jacob Stewart who let us test drive two cars that day (an auto and a stick). At that point I resolved to get the 'Stang ready to sell - it had been finding every excuse to frustrate me. The last straw came after I paid for a touch up and detail and found a nice new scratch on the rear bumper after parking on the street in Fremont for 20 minutes.

After that, I just didn't want to be around that car anymore. I drove it to the dealership in Shoreline, got the cheaper advertised price from the Ballard dealership, got more than I was expecting on trade in, and drove off the lot with Bernie. 160 miles into break in so far and I haven't stopped smiling. This car is EXACTLY what I wanted and I can't describe how excited I am to drive it every day.

If any of you guys are ever up in the Pinehurst or Northgate area and you see a WRB running around, give a wave! Glad to be part of this community, hope to see you all at an Autocross this summer.

Cheers

Welcome to the community.

Welcome, @GotMunchies?, you WRB guys are gaining slowly in numbers... more WRB cars than almost any other combo... except white FRS's.

Good read, thanks. Also glad your GF liked the M/T that raises the fun factor a little higher IMO. Congrats and welcome here.

Nothing crazy... yet. Thinking about the shark fin antenna, wide mirrors, and the Perrin license plate mount when I get my plates.
