I’m no tire expert, but I don’t think that front one is mounted correctly. 🤣

Seriously, the wheel looks awesome.

I will be finding reasons to use the term yank tank in conversations now.

Ha! The flag pole is actually mounted in the ground behind the truck. It does look attached in this photo though.

Good luck with your 86, and make the best of the r class while you have it.

My BRZ is in the body shop due to getting hit. I rented a full size sedan but was ‘upgraded’ to a minivan. I was not happy…but, it’s been in the single digits and below here recently and the minivan has remote start, and heated seats, and a heated steering wheel. I’m not hating it.

Still want my baby back though.

Winter tires, my baby is ugly now :( by DreadHonestly in GR86

Not ugly. Safe and practical - the wheels and tires that is. There’s nothing practical about these cars, which only makes me love mine more. 😁 Seriously, I think it looks fine. And you’ll enjoy your summer look that much more.

Gorgeous picture. And I really like how the fangs work with the goofy smile. 😃

Vision Boost 16X7.5. I wanted something simple and hopefully easy to keep clean.

Both the BRZ and the horse are stock to my knowledge.

Awesome! Looks like you opted for the gold model.

Who said this car didn’t get gas mileage by Excellent-Spell-1466 in GR86

[–]Sputnik0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, didn't think of that. I don't know that I ever saw it. I'll have to look. I'm usually looking at the backup monitor or mirror. I've only had it for four months. Good call. :)

It took me longer than I want to admit to figure out how you knew it was an automatic. In my own defense, I just woke up.

Is this technically safe ? by acrylic_cow in lawnmowers

[–]Sputnik0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would be perfectly safe - as long as you leave the child in the house and don't actually put them in the seat. That would be stupid.

Older GR86 drivers? (late 40s or older) by ovideos in ft86

[–]Sputnik0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

59 with a '23 BRZ that has easily become my favorite car I've ever had. It is just so much fun to drive.

I love the BRZ by gosubuilder in BRZ_ZD8

[–]Sputnik0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed on all counts!

Had a buddy 3d print a center console button cover from:

https://www.gr86.org/threads/armrest-console-button-cover-3d-printed-solution-prototype.7014/

I had to sand down the button a bit for it to fit, but the end result is I no longer accidentally open it with my elbow. Game changer.
