We are what we sell
It takes a lot of effort and energy to be mad and consumed in everyone else's business. Still amazes me the amount of time and emotional energy people will spend arguing on the internet, inserting themselves in everyone else's business and in general encompassing themselves in someone else's life. This thought started off as a commentary against the sheep of the industry. This is the new hottest, latest and greatest...you need it !!! That is what people tell me all the time. This is completely false 95% of the time. This is just a way for them to put more...

Once you identify the goals for a particular vehicle, the plan is set to get to those goals and the vehicle continues to impress you each time you use it of course it becomes the Car of the Year. The Subaru BRZ was brought on with the intention of building a reliable, fun track car. The car now has 9 track days, over 750 track miles and it has not balked at me once.

There are 2 track weekends under the BRZ's belt and it has proven to be quite impressive so far. The majority of my on track experience is in FWD vehicles so I expected a bit of a learning curve getting into the BRZ but the confidence the chassis gives you expedited this process. With 360 track miles on the car so far there is not 1 thing that I would change. Both weekends have been run at Sebring International Raceway.
