I'd like to say I'd get a used GSF, but in reality I'll cheap out and probably get a G37 Sedan for like $22k

I'm one step closer to getting her back on the road! My Weds SA-67R's came in the other day and I got them all cleaned up and ready to install - they look pretty good for having 15k miles on them! Tires & lug nuts will be here on Tuesday, should be back in on teh road by Wednesday. I'm going on a nice long cruise after b-ball that night, or maybe instead of!

First of, I'm glad you're ok. Having a gun pointed at you is not fun, especially not from 2 feet away in the middle of the night.

I am glad you decided to purchase a firearm, I did the same and couldn't be happier after an encounter with a drunk gangbanger at the car wash at some early evening.

I am assuming you will be keeping your F garaged from now on.

I live alone, and here's how I roll:








Cheers and best of luck!

Wheels look good, very similar to 2012+ IS-F wheels.

Thanks! Yes and no. They messed up the pinch welds from jacking it up in a hurry, they bent the dust shields from dropping it down onto the rotors, and they tore out the fender lining on one side - I assume to get a look at the suspension to see if I had a coilover kit that they could steal. The insurance covered all of that in addition to the wheels, but the only thing I'm going to fix is the fender liner. I bent the dust shields back into place with pliers and they look good enough, and the pinch welds still work fine for jacking up the car. Going to put that money towards other things.

And I agree, these wheels are very '12+ OEM like...only better! I've already had 2 random people stop me since putting them on to say they like my car, especially the wheels. I like that they're plain enough that they don't jump out at you and scream "aftermarket wheels", but at the same time the blue stripe gives them a bit of uniqueness and really compliments the blue F theme. I'm also really happy with these Evo2 tires. Haven't pushed them to the limits yet, but have done a lot of spirited driving since getting her back on the road and they've done very well.
