Hello Subysteez! Nice Forrester!

Vodka, hockey this year has been really good (so I can't blame you for that). The Women's USA/CAN was super intense, big turn around and an OT finish.

Hey litlgray, I think I've seen your STI around town. If you see a Gray BRZ in RoPo it's probably me.

this weekends weather forecast shows clear skies, with a high of 68 on Sunday, I think we're in the clear for this weekend

I have updated the calendar to reflect a St. Patty's day event. No location has been set as we should all agree on where it will be held. Let's start getting some suggestions in soon so we can plan ahead for the day.

Like brewsky79 said do we really want to do two drives back to back? I know next week looks like rain and a lot of people bailed last time it rained. This storm looks to be a little weaker by the weekend. It is a ten day forecast so sure it can change very easily.

Thanks man I'm really looking forward to this weekend, especially if we've got newcomers! Can't wait to see the brz up close and in action.

I don't see why we can't do two drives? We can make this weekends drive a shorter rout to accommodate next weeks scheduled meet. I Just feel that due to the low turnout at the last meet, we might as well do this weekend if there's interest.

I am totally down for a drive this weekend, especially if next weekend is going to be wet. Id rather be working inside then out driving with the other yahoos that don't know how to drive in the rain

Totally on board with this. If it's looking clear this weekend, I'd hate to miss the opportunity

Surprisingly stock (for now) I've got a Silver Subaru Frame for my back plate.

I've seen a Silver BRZ a Gray FR-S around, but I've yet to see another Gray BRZ in town... huh.

We just finished up building and tuning a turbo BRZ. Certainly sounds good with a Tomei titanium exhaust system, although louder than I would want for daily use.

Two drives would be fine, if we have interest this weekend and people want to show up just do it, don't really need to stick to a schedule if there is enough people on board.



Bayun, use NADA, edmunds, and KBB to look up the value of your car without mods, NADA is what the banks usually use to estimate the value of your car.

Usually, depending on the mods, my general rule of thumb is... mods that have been on the car for a long time (40k+ miles) I add 25% of their purchase value, mods that have been on the car not for forever, I go with 50% of the purchase value, and mods that were just put on (< 5k ) I go with 75% of the purchase value.

Including stock parts for anything always sweetens the deal, and if you really are going to sell it change all the fluids/do all the maintenance. If the car is ready to go and needs no attention any time soon people are much more willing to jump on it.
