Had my first drive in the snow a few nights ago. Don't have my snow tires yet so wasn't really prepared but it went fine. :shrug:

I ordered some weathertech floormats and installed them today.

Forgive my inability with MS paint, but this is for all of us who hate the stock clutch pedal release height:

You guys know that you can adjust the clutch pedal height in like 60 seconds right?

Yup, read up. Did just that. Still... the picture is true and hilarious . First car I had to do that to, though. Clutch release height was perfectly fine in the WRX and STI and other manual trans cars I've driven. There's no logical reason to have such a freakin high height on the car.

Here here! As another tall driver, I feel your pain. I wish the wheel extended just a biiiiit more. I am planning to adjust my clutch pedal tomorrow, along with my DIY 30k service. Damn clutch pedal is in the way more often than not.

Installed some hid powerhouse stage 3 led reverse lights, also swapped out the weathertech badges for the Diode Dynamics Subaru ones.

Changed motor oil, trans and diff oil, and swapped to a Perrin foam air filter. Had a few other things on the list, but it was going to take too long and it's Sat night!

Met up with a buddy at the local sports bar to watch UFC 167. He said on his way he saw a brand new red BRZ with temporary plates in a ditch right by his house. Guy had just bought it and didn't see the stop sign at the 4-way stop. Slammed on his brakes and lost it. My friend offered to pull him out, but the guy had already arranged for a tow back to the dealer, lol.

Well, yesterday, I picked it up!

Then, put 'better' wheels/rubber on it, installed my tom's taillights that have been sitting in the cupboard for a few months and drove everywhere until I got too tired. Loving it so far...

Last night I put in my WeatherTech floor mats, had to wait 2 weeks for them to show up. I think everyone who doesn't drive 90% on tar needs a set, and those in colder climates.
