Werd... Part of the problem with working from home. Car died on me because it hasn't been driven other than backing it in and out of the drive way. All those cold starts are making me cringe. Been carrying around one of these in the car but never got to try it out DBPower portable battery, very handy and only took ~20% of charge, so its got a handful of starts left in it!

I'm sure I'll be charged up from the 2.5 hr drive to the Junction tmrw

Why you no drive?

Partly because I'm trying to walk more (most of the places I frequent, like the grocery, hardware store, coffee shops, etc. are now walking distance to me) but mostly because all the roads around me are uninspiring agriculture roads or freeway. I would have to go an hour or so out of my way to get to the Sierras to get into some fun twisties.

I miss being in the bay, where redwood is 15 mins away...

Bummer. I hadn't realized you'd moved.

The stock wheels look so much better in all silver instead of black and silver!

That sucks. Maybe I'll stick with Thinkware or Blacksys when I get a higher end dashcam. I'm currently using a Thinkware F50 entry level.

Dunno if you guys remember me. Haven't posted here in a few months since I've been really busy with school/work.

I _finally_ got to test drive a BRZ today, (used) 2013 MY, because the Stevens Creek Subaru is completely out of the 2017 MY for at least a month, or so they told me.

It was really fun to drive but it was such a short ride. The guy really only let me drive like two miles away from the dealer. It was the AT as well, not MT, but I tried the paddles a couple times just to see what it feels like and it seemed pretty cool.

I might try to find an 86 at a Toyota dealer around here to test as well to see the difference and maybe get a better/longer test drive route.

Still not sure if I should go MT or AT. My cousin keeps shaming me for leaning toward auto (he just has an old NA Miata). Problem is I've never actually driven a MT car before, and while it doesn't sound too difficult I didn't want to mess with a dealer's MT BRZ without knowing I can handle it first.

Guess we shall see how it goes.
