I saw a White BRZ with steel rims pulling into the Esso gas station on Strachan @ King St West. I was on a bicycle... feeling like I made a mistake ordering mine in black!

Black is a sick colour, sometimes I wish I got BLK instead of Asphalt.

That was scary, came off hwy401 some car was driving up to me so fast, and it was the turn at 40km/h, didn't rev match before dropping into 3rd almost felt like i was gonna spin out, back tires jerked real quick went left and right for a split second and got control again. Still a noob manual driver

Not moi! Hadn't left for ultimate yet at that time, and earlier I was driving the Kia.

Just keep that traction control on! It's saved me a few times in the snow!

2 spottings and 1 kinda:
- Last night around 8:40-ish heading southbound on the DVP just after the Bloor viaduct, I was in the right lane, there was another Asphalt in the left lane. I would have slowed to cruise, but I was running quite late for my ultimate game!
- Apparently I played ultimate against @sub_stance's team last night, and twisted my ankle like 10 minutes into the game. He PM'd me after the game to check if I was okay. He didn't drive his BRZ though!
- Saw a Raven or Asphalt FR-S (couldn't tell cuz of my shades :P) on Don Mills this morning just north of Seneca college going southbound with me.

I had it on >< but was just travelling too quick for the turn, engine speed was still too fast for the 3rd gear it was totally my mistake. I just got scared because the car behind me was coming up to me so quickly, and I forgot to rev before dropping to third, felt like if I braked he'd just crash into me. Poor car have to deal with me learning on it 1st gear and 2nd gear is still really weird to me, I tried my friend's GTI and it felt really smooth and easy.

I still haven't tried traction off or sports mode atm, need to get better at driving before that happens still at 400+ KMs driven.

Just ignore the car behind you and drive like you normal would, if the douche beg comes in too fast and rear end you it's 100% his fault.

All in due time! You'll figure it out! I've already put 16k on Selina, and I learned manual on her!

Sport mode isn't a big departure from normal mode, it just gives you 10-15% more slip. No biggie as it still catches really early on. However turning it off completely should only really be done on a closed course, as it's not that hard to spin out...

Haha, yea, when I first started it felt like this was impossible, after 100KM it felt a lot easier and drove it to work not just around the block. Nice vid , must be nerve wrecking when spinning out.
