Picking nose takes a brave soul.

Nice pics!

Good thing the seats are red…

Not the greatest pics, but my car's twin spotted us and parked next to mine today. If this is your car, or you know who's it is, hit me up so we can hit the canyons and get some better pics. Funny thing is, I'd already spotted this car in another parking lot across town (recognizable by the red side mirror covers and carbon wing). So far, it's the only other FL5 CTR I've seen in person - of course it had to be Champ White.

Well I picked up my white. I waited a year for red, no dice. Here we go.

Didn't waste any time upgrading to a Homelink mirror! I missed the "nice enough to work in the garage" window, so that'll be a springtime project.

Hello everyone! I just traded my 2023 GR Corolla in last Friday after owning it for 2 months. I had no intention of buying it 3 hours before I did, but I was dropping my 14-year-old off at school and this lady in a GR was next to me and I thought to myself wow that car has a wide rear end.... and while I was staring at her car, she thought I was staring at her in my big Ford F250 and she zipped away in a flash and I tried to catch up to get a better look she zipped in and out of the cars ahead of me it was no use. I thought to myself that looks like a fun car to drive for an everyday car....dropping kids off at school, going to the grocery store, etc...I love my new F250 but it is a pain to park anywhere. So I went online to see this GR Corolla and no one seemed to have them...I was like it's just a Corolla right? anyway, I found a local dealer that had a black one, MY LEAST favorite color. 2 of my F250s are black ...pain to clean a big truck. But I drove it and was like this is great and bought it....then started watching YouTube videos on it and many were comparisons to the CTR...I never considered a front-wheel drive car but after seeing 30 videos and spending countless hours reading about the TYPE R I was like I'm going to get one....So I found a blue one in Denton Tx for 10K over MSRP and a White one in Rockwall TX also 10K over.....the blue was en route to get to the dealer in 2 weeks and the white one was in the showroom for only 3 days. I took my GR down (it was raining) so they would not let me test-drive it...and after staring at the car for 2 hours (my daughter was bored out of her mind..lol) I made a deal at 7K over MSRP. I drove the car about 2 miles and said to my daughter I just messed up buying this car....she said WHAT??? you do not like it? I said these cars are so different.....not even close to the same.. The GR is fun and feels half the weight... it's a car that given more time I would have lost my licence in for reckless driving. Every time you drive that car you will drive like a fool. however, after driving the TYPE R for the full weekend I would never go back to the GR not even for 1/2 the price. The TYPE R is a better car in every way. More leg room in the back, better looking to me. better acceleration after 30 MPH, better ride ( does not bounce) 10 times better, and smoother shifter and the list goes on feel free to ask me more questions My car is getting PPF at a great place in Dallas Tx and I put yellow PPF on the headlights not sure if I like. Im the guy on the right with the big belly

that's wild. I guess it wasn't too good for daily? I know they pump out a good amount of power modded.

In two years I put 5500 miles on the car. I never drove it in the rain and it was always garage kept. There just wasn’t enough room. Anytime we wanted to go to the grocery store. I had to make sure that I didn’t buy a box of something, if we were out and about I couldn’t just stop at BJ’s or Costco and get whatever I needed. The trunk space was extremely minimal. You could not even stand the backpack upright in the trunk. If it was far enough back without removing the cover. The car was close to 500 hp at the wheels. It wasn’t even that fun to drive because merging onto the highway at 65 the car would go sideways. I was so concerned about ever needing to replace a piece of that OEM carbon. I priced some of them in case I ever needed to buy any and it was not pretty. I lowered my car payment. I lowered my insurance and I have a car that handles better. It just was a no-brainer for me to buy the Type R.
