    Ok, story time.
    I have been trying to find some time to track down a local Subaru dealership around my area to see if they have a BRZ in their showroom or on the lot.
    All of the dealerships in my town or near by are way to small to have anything.
    So my wife and I decided to take a trip to the next largest town. About 90 minutes to the west of us. Much bigger and they have larger lots.

    I tracked down the biggest one and stopped in to see if they had anything.
    The gentleman who came out to help me was super nice and friendly.
    I asked if they had a BRZ and he said they haven't gotten them in yet.
    I then proceeded to tell him that I didn't want to buy one (I do, just can't afford one) I just wanted to see one and maybe take a few pictures for a friend back in the States.

    He looked around and they told me to follow him to the back of the lot.
    So I did, and there it was a 2013 Blue BRZ. (5 Speed manual, sorry I didn't get any interior pictures, the glass was really beaded up from the rain)
    From the sounds of it, it's their test drive car, and it is so new they don't even have a plate for it yet.
    I didn't quite catch when they got it, or when they will have a plate for it. (My Japanese is really poor)
    He said it was ok to take a few pictures, so I did. Nothing fancy, and it was on the edge of raining again.
    He tried the door but it was locked, and I didn't want to press him to go get the keys from inside.
    I felt bad to take up so much of his time when we both new that I was not going to buy a car.

    When I was leaving he told me to come back at a later date and give it a test drive.
    Not sure if he was just being polite or if he would let me drive it when we know I won't be ordering one. I guess I should sleep on it.

    On Thursday I am going to drive to a different town for work that is even bigger to see if they have a BRZ as well and see if I can catch it without the rain.

    Hope you have enjoyed.

    Thanks.
    Somehow I missed that thread.

    I will keep my eyes open for nice cars, but they are quite rare where I am.
