I work at oncology Hospital. Cancer is a damn roller coaster, be diligent in appointments and such... what is or was your treatment?

Damn. I'm really sorry :\ Hoping for the best that you'll have some kind of path to healing.

Canceled my 2023 Mazda 3 order and bought a used 2013 BRZ Sport-Tech. Picking it up in May from a good friend in Ontario who has owned it for a number of years. 6MT, higher kms, 2 owners, clean title... sounds like something I've done before :P.

Last year was surgery followed by radiation therapy. This time around it will probably be surgery and chemotherapy, but not necessarily in that order.

I never know what to say in situations like this. But, I wish you the best of outcomes. Be good to yourself.

Although probably the most common BRZ colour it is also the best!

I am partial to the red as well, shame it has paint fade issues. Plus the special edition colors are nice from 2016 onwards, not partial to the navy interior in the series.Blue 2015s.

Jealous. I have been looking for a blown engine twin to fix as a commuter.

Definitely regret not getting WRB sometimes. White is the most common color here.

I get the whole ts color schema thing but given the choice, white wouldn’t have been in my top 5.

I wanted something I could still play with for a daily but wouldn't end up down the track car rabbit hole... so that ruled on Civics and Fits a-la-Sundae Cup.

The BRZ was offered at a good price and it comes with factory goodies that I'd be doing to say another FR-S, such as heated seats and the 12-16 BRZ HIDs. Plus this one was super well maintained and has some mods that I might keep, headunit, suspension + 17x9 wheels, full exhaust, etc.
