Smile An early goodbye and thank you

I haven't posted a lot on ft86club, but I have done a lot of lurking, especially after I first picked up my BRZ in 2013. These forums have provided a ton of advice and information from a community which is truly dedicated and in love with their cars!



I've had a ton of fun over my 4-year ownership of my BRZ, from driving up the coast of Cape Cod to down the California coast and one long drive across the country with all of my stuff. But now I have a long commute and at 6'8" the longer trips in my BRZ have started to wear on me as I've gotten older. So sadly, it's time to part with the first car I ever owned.

When I get home, I'll probably list the car on here for sale for a few days before posting to craigslist so that an enthusiast has a first crack at owning one of the best cars you can own today.

Thank you all!

I bought an SL63 AMG! A much different car with a much different focus for sure, but my lifestyle has changed a lot since I bought the BRZ.

I also have a 2001 Dinan Z3M roadster which I will keep as my tossable car that I can do little projects on.

I tend to drive my Z3M roadster a lot more in the summer while I can keep the top down! Plus I don't want to have to street park any of these cars and I'm out of garage space.
