^^^Seriously though. Aside from spelling your own name wrong (? did you?), that is the smartest thing you've ever said.

I think Tyler was getting at was that HE would be interested in the inspires for a good price.

Koko makes me think of Ice T's wife...
I'll stick with Meeks...Meek Mill, Meko, MEE KOOOOOW

Anyway, looking good, man...glad to see you going through with it.

About the heads...ummm...trade for stock plus $150. Don't be a fool.

My stupid gaming pc at home doesn't work. I f.ed something in it. And hate mobile AZ but here, have a short update. Will reply above posts later on.

Meko says, 2014 Black BRZ Limited, including homelink mirror, and rear trunk mat for $25,399
0.9 apr

Jeremy says, buy that local 2010 Black G37S coupe w/ nav and 6spd rwd that has 30k miles on for $26,000

Meko says, no eerrrone has it here. Rich student car

Jeremy says, don't come to Miami, I kill you

----

One guy will buy the TL for 9k on Saturday, but I still couldn't find a stock exhaust. Checked every godamn CG. Even mechanic friend requested one. It is a request by online which goes to every junk yard in MA.
Nooooooo exhaust

He wants to pay 9k cash and buy the car on Saturday... Will tell him gimme 34.50, you seem like a good man.
Give me $9500, take the car with exhaust.
And I hide from Austin

Car at service, I have a loan white ext, black int, TSX. Had 7 miles on it. Now car might need a new transmission. Just kidding

Viet!!!!!!!
Those are my upper and lower orange fogs that I had on the car. Powerfull ones. 9006 and H11 I think, whatever is the inspire.





Tyler I would send em free to you but no worth it has crack and rear side if f.ed by me trying to mount it. They are like 50bucks on ebay, get clear ones anyway

I would still go with the G37S 6Spd / Nav !

It is still a much more refined car than the BRZ! "Luxury" is the exact word. Leather heated seats, better in car materials used, less in-cabin noise due to more use of sound deadening, sunroof, I'm sure the Navigation display will be a lot bigger than the BRZ's also.

200hp boxer motor with little low end tq vs VQ37 280-290 horsepower AT THE WHEELS and 250+ lb/ft of torque at the wheels..

I know the G37 is ~900lbs heavier than the BRZ so the handling is not going to be anywhere near as good but I'd still get a G37S 6Spd Nav over a fully loaded BRZ..

The BRZ is a better drivers car no doubt. It also gets better fuel economy 22 city 30 highway vs the G37 17 city 25 highway.

What are you going to choose???

Thanks Mr. New member.

Anil I will let it go for 9500 as it is
Im ok for 9k too. Don't want to wait anymore. Been how many weeks. I want that BRZ.

Viet, I know man but what pushes me away isssss.....

Never was a fan of that car, due to being a teenager car. Everyone has it and thinks they are cool.
Especially in NY too....

2010 sounds new but still a 4yrs old car. I hate the navigation on it from dads FX. He will crack the window by punching it one day.

Overall technology and look? Still an old car. No LED look like BRZ hehe Plus new one is coming out eventually around this time.

I will not have fun looking at that car for sure. Never did
Driving? May be I am BSing but I hate the engine sound on the engine. The loan ones I drove were AT but... I hate it, same goes with FX.
Intake my help but......

Ok it pulls, nice tq but as I said long time ago, car doesn't reaponse quick enough as my TL. Friends say that too.
I just drove the G too. FX was at service. Positive that stupid brain is slow.

When I add all these feeelings in my head, impossible for me to go for it.

Fast ok but how about handling? 2 Asian friends say that it has way too much bodyroll, that wide body just doesn't match to the car's setup.

Never was a perfect car to me, never will be. I feel like saying I'll drive my TL instead of it. Same DNA to me. And I really wonder how that car would take off with those heavy ass 19"s haha

All I want is small fun car for work that gives good MPG.

If I want really a coupe car. I mean nice look, big room, for anytime car, I will head for something better which is S5 or BMW 4 later on in 30s if I live

I don't want something in between like Infiniti.

Am I wrong? Taste and have fun with an amazing driving car when young. The day I get a kid, buy the S5. I'll feel like it's time to move on from BRZ hahaha

Why still coupe? Lady would have Range Rover anyway.

So that's my dream if I live haha

Im an Engineer, I have to think about every detail
But am I wrong? We all know that I will upgrade the G later on for sureeeeeee. Not the best car for its level like a BRZ.

Not a car to hold.
But BRZ is. I could hold it for work drive after 5 years and still buy a S5, or sell it and get RS5 lol

Of course it will, running like a champ. Well let's not talk big haha

Taking time sounds smart too especially in this snowy season. But idk I don't too.

Might be hard to find a buyer if I skip the first one. That usually happens to friends haha

Shhhhhhh be quiet

CBP08TL, if you want it, go to Acura of Boston tomorrow on 1600 Soldiers Field Rd, Brighton, MA 02135

See Jonh Cung in Service, Asian guy
Tell him you came for the swap. Memet sent me.
Pay him $550 if that sounds good for you
Let them do the swap, I will pay the technician for labor.

He knows. My car is there tomorrow, replacing that seat buckle shit the airbag light...

Let me know if you will do and what time, so I could tell Jonathan

Oh and then tell me what you think after driving
