    Hey folks.

    I am in SoCal, near Laguna Beach, Irvine Spectrum, Kaleidoscope as well as On_target indoor shooting range! :)


    My mother has had 2. . . a 2006 and now a 2014 i believe and I always enjoyed riding in/driving her vehicles.
    So, needing an efficient/newer vehicle, I bought a used 2013 with a great, well cared for history with one owner.

    It's a 2013 Three with the solar/sun roof package. Has navigation, bluetooth, backup camera, I think that's all the options.

    It's a one owner which was actually bought at the same dealership in Tustin that I bought it from.
    It had spent the majority of it's 3 year life thus far in Lancaster.
    It has 12X,000 miles but had a service, at a Toyota dealer, every 5K for the longest time.
    Carfax report was 3 pages of maintenance records.

    The car drives amazing.
    It's dangerously quite, which is hilariously fun.
    It's transitions from Regen to EV to Gas to Combined is amazingly seamless!

    I plan to keep it for a while so I'll be modifying it more than I anticipated!
    So far:
    Coilovers(Teins or Megans) or springs now(H&R) then struts/shocks later on.
    Wheels, I decided on SSR GTV01's but would REALLY like to stick closer to 16-18lbs/each (SSR are 20lb)
    Been really looking at some Enkei's as well
    Swaybars, will do the Hotchkis kit
    I want to either duplicate rear tint in front or remove and reapply it all(anyone know tint guru?)

    And i'll probably never stop modifying.

    I've read quite a bit on the forum and enjoy interacting with you all.

    Thanks for reading.

    :)
