Hey Aashish. I think Mohawk wants $19k for that BRZ. It’s a 2015 with 11,xxx miles on it and a manual. I drove it around the lot a bit as well. The red Type R is still there too.
Gotta pay off Mandy’s Crosstour before getting another payment I’m afraid. Oh well...

19k is a little high IMO. 17K is a fairer price I think. If you’re paying that kind of money why not buy from a Subaru dealer or Carmax who’ll likely include some form of warranty.
Spent the day mostly contorted on my back trying to prep the Volvo's passenger side upper firewall, kick panel and under dash areas for some paint. Mostly soundproofing adhesive and surface rust to be removed. After struggling all day, I finally got smart and removed the glove box and the radio blanking plate. Now I can see and this should make the painting a bit easier. Plan to use Eastwood Rust Encapsulate as the primer.
For a break, I visited the S in storage. I released the top, removed the wiper blades, hooked up a battery tender and checked for the dreaded mice.

Removed the wiper blades? Released the top?
Is that stuff we should be doing? I always just add fuel stabilizer, park it, and jump the dead battery in the spring, but I always wonder if there's more that should be done...
I release the top so it is not under stress in the cold weather. I remove the wiper blades so they are not pressed down against the windshield all winter.
I don't know whether or not you should be doing either of these things. But knock on wood. I'm still on my original top with no signs of tears.

You’re doing it right. Even if you ever had a tear in the top you know someone that’ll fix it right
I just installed a removable carbon fiber hardtop on Janet's soft top MX-5. We can now each drive a roadster year round. For the first time we are actually considering moving on from our AP2.
Our favorite Janet's daily driver since March - 2016 MX-5 GT soft top New addition: Gordy's daily driver since 15 July - 2017 MX-5 GT RF
Let's see what Disgruntled Publicus can tell my grand kids about my daily drivers.
1957 Hillman Husky (rusted out)
1955 Ford Fairlane convertible (rusted out - body fell off rounding a left hand corner!)
1955 Buick Special with Cruise-a-port VistaVents (sold for $50 to Willie James B. "if you know any young ladies who's looking for babies, tell 'em Willie James B_____ is in town") - heading for South Carolina tonight to avoid getting served on a paternity rap)
1965 Austin Healey 3000 (120,000 + miles, starting to rust - sold for $100 to be restored)
1972 Datsun 510 (rusted away, but lots of fun while it lasted!)
1978 Buick Special Station Wagon with tacky wood siding (so uninspiring that he can't even remember)
1984 Volvo 240 station wagon (a death trap - by far the worst car in the snow ever driven!)
1992 Ford Taurus Wagon (stolen and dumped in the river - no bodies were found inside when fished out a year later.)
2002 Ford Escape (transmission failure)
2012 Ford Escape (currently limping and starting to rust, but has new tires to add value)
OK, the first 5 cars had some je ne sais quoi. But Disgruntled sees that by 1978, it all turned south!
Gordy and his spousal unit get to drive such fine cars to their place of employment. Disgruntled feels bad about my rides and needs to go to a safe place where he won't feel bullied.
