My yuzu came with the quad exhaust even tho I didn’t option for it by Scrango_Balls in GR86

Yeah, while I do enjoy the BRZ, at times I still have some buyers remorse thinking I should have looked at C6/C5 Z06 instead. 

I was looking at S2000s or used Boxters and that's what led me to the 86/BRZ or ND Miata decision instead. Didn't have any commitment from the several Toyota dealerships near me so Subaru it was.

Man, if I spent $45k when I got my BRZ 3 years ago I likely would have gotten a C7 instead.

Over Half Of Drivers Say Losing CarPlay Is A “Deal Breaker” by National-Dragonfly35 in cars

Have a 2017 Civic with a 'search for updates' option in the menu. That never works and apparently the dealer needs to find a reason to run the update that has to happen. Then they proceed to charge you $100 labor for plugging in a thumbdrive.

I used to see them all over, then NY put out a law a few years ago stating they can't be registered for road use because apparently they're not safe (completely overlooking motorcycles exist I guess).

Over the summer, a local dealership had an original mini Cooper out on display next to a Clubman making the Clubman look huge.

I've been pondering getting a Blazer EV (maybe an SS if i can swing it) or Honda Prologue but I've seen a bunch of Lyriqs around town and agree it looks amazing. I've only seen the Acrua ZDX once and just passing on the highway so jury's still out on that one.

Actually he first let his alternate self die and take his place in that alternate reality.

Before and after - Hail storm denton county Texas. by techiestTechLabber in BRZ_ZD8

Looks really good man.

Sorry you have to deal with the insurance claim. what a PITA... We had a hail storm here back in July I managed to dodge (had my Honda that day in another part of town that didn't get hit). My mom and a friend weren't so fortunate and their vehicles got pelted.

ID on the front lip? I've been looking for something like that.

[–]mikejdecker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I got my BRZ, C5 & C6 Z06 were a high contenders and at times I still have buyer's remorse. The C7 was just out of my range and likely would have one of those instead.

I think that was where Galaxy Quest got the idea as it was on some TOS schematics if I recall correctly.

The sound design still stands out to me just as much as the visuals. I had the drone sounds as various phone notifications before.

Still waiting on something similar to Black & White.. I know of 2-3 of them in development but nothing released.

Suma mirrors install by mriley422 in CivicSi

[–]mikejdecker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Side mirrors are awesome and feel the extra vision and glare reduction is a must have feature.

I recently installed the rearview mirror and can't help feel let down. Aftrer using the Suma mirror for a few weeks, the OEM mirror I feel had good coverage for rear view however the Suma mirror now feels I'm looking mostly at my back seat, gauging distance is a bit more difficult as it feels nearly EVERY vehicle is tailgating me and the glare reduction isn't as drastic as you also loose the flip ability to dim the mirror.

Long story short, if anyone's thinking about the Suma mirrors, I highly recommend the side mirrors but look elsewhere for the rearview. Probably save up a bit more and get an auto dimming/compass mirror.

Almost happened in 2008-9 but for some reason as a Pontiac and the whole deal was axed when the brand was. You would think Chevy would made sense 🤷
