The great thing about having a car that you love driving, is how easy it becomes to spontaneously visit far-away places. Work owed me a day off, so pretty much on Thursday evening, I decided to drive down to Blacksburg, VA (650 miles) on Friday, spend the weekend there, and drive back on Sunday afternoon. Chicago-to-Blacksburg isn't a very heavily-traveled route, so it's mostly open roads, and actually quite an enjoyable trip with lots [...]
Just celebrating my fresh coat of wax after an afternoon laboring in the sun.
While I do miss the cargo space of the wagon, I must admit it's surprising what you can fit into the BRZ. The latest haul being an entire king-size bed set from IKEA all by myself.

Suffice it to say, as you can see in the photos and videos below, that I had an absolute blast! I didn't get stuck once, even when driving through 6+ inches of unplowed snow, and several of my Toyobaru friends even came out to [...]
Hello everyone! This is the first of what will hopefully be a continuing series of posts about my adventures in this car. I have been wanting a BRZ since the rumors of its existence first started permeating the internets. I've been on several test drives at various dealerships over the past few years, but never had the means to actually take one home with me. Until now! I am finally the proud owner of [...]
