Story time: for my birthday in September, I ordered new headlights for my BRZ. They were out of stock at the time, but I was told that if I placed an order, they would be sent as soon as they came back in stock (around 6 weeks).
Well, the back of my car got hit a few weeks ago and I ended up taking it to the repair shop on Monday. My headlights came in on Tuesday. So now they're sitting in a box in my entryway until I get my car back (Wednesday is when they estimated that it'll be done).
brz? is that one of the sporty suburus?
Yeah, it's the brainchild of Subaru and Toyota. And the only RWD car that Subaru makes.
ooh sleek. I think i was looking at one of those recently, but they just don't have enough trunk space for me to justify it at as a first purchase.
The back "seats" fold down and give plenty of trunk space. I disassembled a bed frame and a shelf and fit them in there with exta space for a room lamp when I was changing apartments. It's no pickup truck, but I can manage.
> I almost bought a Lada but I already have two cars
@AikawaMiyu The Lada might be the best car ever made. The AK47 of cars
@fozzy both are hella nice, manual would be my choice but, great find
@AikawaMiyu# 4252 dirty trucks look sick too
@Alpha-57 Ye, I do like that the seats fold. Still, I need to either get rid of some stuff or find a vehicle that allows me to move most of my belongings in one trip. I have no intentions of coming back home, with the exception of holidays, and am likely going at least 1200 miles west of where I am now. This probably is not a super realistic or even practical thing to do, but I also want to bring my kayak and bike with me, so sedans/coupes are probably going to be a no-go. :(
that said, I think a coupe may be somewhere in my future.
Have you thought of buying an 18 wheeler? 🤣
I will say, for how much I dont like the aesthetic of most of them, hatchbacks are pretty good space-wise without being massive.
My rental car while mine is in the shop is a Toyota Highlander. I don't like it, too big for my tastes, and I feel like I'm driving a bus.
damn those subies are nice but im just gonna save up for a manual g35 coupe, im only 16
although most of the people with this car are idiots, i like it
and im only 16 so this is a good first car
I've already planned out my mods to my BRZ: supercharger, new exhaust, sway bars, etc. I just need some extra money.

@Yung Billy Gates is in tough, maybe considering they're so simple and the VAZ hasn't changed much during it's entire production run.
> Have you thought of buying an 18 wheeler? 🤣
@Alpha-57 honestly, I'd love to have a Crackerbox with a screaming Jimmy under the cab.
Have you seen International's XT pick-up truck?
> My rental car while mine is in the shop is a Toyota Highlander. I don't like it, too big for my tastes, and I feel like I'm driving a bus.
@Alpha-57 I learned to drive almost exclusively in full-size trucks and suvs and so really don't mind the bigger cars. I still think sedans and coupes are more, but just at the price of practicality. Not having to do two-point turns at dead-ends is nice too xD
I get nervous enough with Utah drivers, I don't need it compunded by driving a land-yacht.

@Master oogwei why not a 350z with the VQ35HR?
I prefer to think of it as a tank amongst VW rabbits. If I ever get in a wreck, I feel pretty good about my prospects. <:KEK:726877368601411624>
lol just saw this. its a lifted rabbit xD
it's still tiny <:dogekek:726878872607653918>
That is no longer a rabbit, it is, in fact, a hare.
I sort of miss how much of a sleeper this was when it had it's stock exhaust and wheels
@Alpha-57 a ton of money that car is under powered
@Yung Billy Gates because i prefer the looks of the g35 more and can have around the same power as a 350z, also since the 350z is supposed to be the sportier one, people tend to beat on the car a ton and bring it to sideshows full of idiots(same with the g35 but adults have the car too because it is a luxury car).
@sixfivebyfiftyfive that looks clean
@AikawaMiyu hp?
@Master oogwei if I wanted raw horsepower, I'd have gotten a Challenger Hellcat. I like the balance that the BRZ offers. I'm simply making it a little faster because I want better times. I mostly do canyon runs, so handling matters more than 0-60 times.
u right
canyon runs are fun and offer no fun when your car has high poqer
power
400?
The canyon runs are also the reason I'm supercharging it and not turbocharging it. I want more linear power. It'd be a shame if a sudden boost caused me to lose traction as I accelerate through a turn.
> @AikawaMiyu hp?
@Master oogwei ironically, it seems difficult to find exact numbers. i'm guessing around 250. whatever it is that a 1998 WRX would have since it's the same EJ205
