Today I tried to go for a nice drive in the afternoon. Instead I found the roads full of bad drivers. The best was the stereotypical Prius driver: elderly woman driving a Prius with a vanity plate that says "<3 Plant Life" driving her car on a lovely canyon road doing 15mph in the corners and <25 on the straights on a road with a 35mph speed limit. I was a Good Person(TM) and didn't tailgate or try to pass her, but the motorbike behind me passed both of us. I was jealous and wished my car was a foot wide...

Finally after fifteen minutes behind this lady, she slowed down even more to turn off the road I was on, and as I was sat behind her slowing down to 5mph for her to turn off I saw an old Buick roll up to the intersection she was turning off at and turn right in front of me. It was just one of those days... I think I spent about three minutes going over 30mph in over an hour of driving.

Luckily the few open corners I got were a lot of fun. BRZ loves to drive, even if BRZ has to wait its turn! It's so well balanced now with the suspension changes (coils, sways, rear subframe bushings, strut brace at the front)! It's nice and neutral: you can rotate it through corners using the throttle and control rotation on the way in using trail braking. It doesn't ever want to understeer now unless you're driving badly. Now I think I just want to do motor mounts and a diff brace to take the remaining slop out of the drivetrain and it will be pretty much right... although that Litchfield supercharger kit does look really tempting too :P

Went by the dealer and had my light fuse replaced, figured it was that when my DRLs, fog and parking lights weren't working, but had been putting it off until my tail lights stopped working. Anyone having issues with blown fuses? Pretty sure it happened when I swapped out the side markers and put in some LED bulbs in there.

Apparently my dog did it somehow. Wish I was joking, but yea, that was one of the many reasons why the owner of the business felt like he should do nothing.

Put in WeatherTech's. Should have done this sooner. Perfect fit and look awesome.

And thanks to Diode Dynamics for the sticker replacements! Great product, and makes the WeatherTech mats look OEM.
