the new brzē


it's essentially the same thing-- minor differences:
blue under-dash lighting (1st had red lighting)
no chrome strip on the fake 1/4 panel vents(1st had chrome)
clear protective film on rear bumper below trunk(1st didn't have this)

so i don't normally name cars, but i thought this one needed a name, due in part to the situation that i got it under..

"chance" for this car being my 2nd chance, and "goldfish" because it's a copycat replacement.. like when that goldfish in grade school "rested" upside-down for one day, and then started swimming the next day just fine!... at least according to the teacher..


the same modification list still applies, i'm just restarting what i had already started..

Congrats !

good show mate!

I know you said a dealership had the same one, but damn that was fast. This picture reminds me of how bad amber reflectors look on some vehicles

[soundman98]

yeah.. i mentioned it all in the chat thread, but i'll put it here too.

the same dealership happened to have received a new blue brz since i bought mine, so i bought the same car from the same dealer, even through the same salesperson.. no better deal, but i skipped the extended warranty, so i should be getting some money back from that..

i'm still not out of the woods yet.. i'm out $6k from all of it, so i need to talk to a lawyer to see if it's worth pursuing state farm for compensation for that... but it's kind of a relief to be mostly back to where i was before..

That was quick man

Hmm, deja vu...

Just avoid women in uranuses..... eerrrr.... saturns this time

[soundman98]

I'm slowing down at nearly every intersection now..

Nice that was fast! Better luck this time lol. Always got to watch out for weirdos and people not paying attention. I wrecked my car today, but I'm not in the mood to talk about it. So it's nice to come here and see yours all nice and perfect again

Oh dear. Maybe I should hide my blue car now.

[soundman98]

Wow.. maybe i should just star calling it 'curse of the blue cars'.... i'm starting to think they have it out for themselves..

Glad to see you are back in the saddle with a replacement. And now we are all dying to know whats up with Gold's comment on wrecking the car.

[soundman98]

Give it time.. no one likes to see a loved one get destroyed

[satrya]

How does it feel to have a completely new car but yet feel so familiar like it's not the first time you've owned it?

Hope everything gets sorted out soon

[mdufficy]

Wait...wrecked the lexus...
