MrH's BRZ Thread

[MexicoCityM3]

I pretty much follow break-in religiously on my cars. Why take the risk if you are planning on keeping it for long?

This thread is making me want to go dorifto my car.

Which model did you get?

The blue one.

[CALL_911]

Which model did you get?

Seeing as the thread is titled "MrH and the BRZ," I think it's safe to assume he picked up a new 528i.

Meh, maybe so.  But I'm not about to beat the piss out of a car I just dropped $30k on against the OEMs recommendations just because it might be BS.

Well, since the detailing guy backed out on me last second, I did it all myself yesterday.  Washed, clay barred, polished, and waxed the whole thing.  Overall, looks pretty great.  Got a lot of wax on the windows and didn't feel like cleaning them last night though  I'll clean them up today.  Took a long ass time, but I'm glad I did it.  Otherwise I would have been driving around for well over a week with zero protection on the paint.  

Now do that once per summer for the rest of your life (with washes and waxes in between) and you'll have a good-looking car for years to come and you won't need a detailing guy.

I just remembered: Back in the spring when i went to Geneva for the auto show for work, my boss and i stopped and spent a day driving the nurburgring. The general rule in Germany is you put a small ring outline decal on your car if you've driven it with your car. In the US, it usually means the driver has.

I picked up a white ring decal for the Miata. Then i bought a royal blue one and told my boss, " this is just in case I somehow end up buying a blue BRZ. It'll probably never happen, but maybe."

Sure enough, i have one now. I'm going to clean the windows this week, and put it on the quarter window on the driver side

There's a chick I see driving into work that has one on the back of her 1-Series

Her and the aftermarket wheels (flashy) that are on the car are nothin' to look at, trust me.

I tend to agree...

Quarter window?  Why not the rear windscreen? 

[MrH]

Ordering begins on some minor enhancement things.

Working in interiors has made me a total snob.

[MrH]

Where would you put it in the back window?  Either way it's going to look really awkward I think (very unsymmetrical).  Maybe once I race at Mid Ohio, I'll add one for there too.

Front windscreen.

Lower passenger side.

Actually, lower driver side.

[Secret Chimp]

My 'ring sticker is on the passenger side rear window. Looks good man.

Wait, do you really? Cant tell if you're serious. If you are, that's awesome.

Put it on the drive b pillar. Looks great

Yup, n?v?rb??n. Just feel I have to let everyone know I haven't been.

[MrH]

Lol that's awesome.

Found out another guy at our Detroit head quarters is an awesome car nut too. He has yet to drive the ring. We're going to ty and go for work this fall. Hopefully they got BRZ/gt86 to rent by then.

That's not fair.

Why is Europe spared the embarrassment of the Scion brand?

The work trip or the scion here?
