I wouldn't call myself an enthusiast but I have a few for range and skeet. I also reload .45 which I really dig.

Spotted: White BRZ with aftermarket wheels (no idea which as they were moving) turning south on 275 from six mile about 4:40 yesterday.

Exactly. I've set almost every record in kart track I've been too and did a formula skip barber course which I did good but then in a car ehhh not so great haha.

I was looking forward to my first time in a Kart with visions of flying around the corners at impossible speeds and hitting every apex.

From your experience it sounds like I'm going to be sorely disappointed.
I also blame Gran Turismo for my delusions.

Would anyone be up for a karting meet this weekend at either Kart 2 Kart or JD Racing (in Novi)? I've been meaning to go but can't find anyone else to go with me.

I was actually thinking about heading to JD, but I'm not sure when. Any particular day you were shooting for?

I installed my clear side markers yesterday.. and I need to get some new clips.. I SUCK at removing those clips intact. oh well.. they are cheap!

Also put a K&N panel filter in. I didn't notice any difference in performance.. but then I didn't really jump on it this morning on the way to work.

Anybody else doing any mods or cosmetics or installs of any kind?

I was thinking sometime tomorrow. Probably late morning. Sunday isn't good due to it being St Patricks day.

Looks like Sevs753, myself and a few friends of mine will be hitting up JD Karting at 1pm tomorrow. Stop on by if you are available

Well shit. My car's VIN is after the factory cricket fix but the crickets have arrived and with force. Loud chirping at all stops! YAY!

Ran into somebody in Ann Arbor who saw my car and mentioned he had a Galaxy Blue Silica BRZ. Didn't have time to ask if he was on the forum.

i picked it up today.

i was pissed as i was going to park, i'm like 'wtf, how am i not the only BRZ in this garage'

WTH is up with all this snow today?? We got about 3 inches... guess I'll be taking the WRX down to Toledo today rather than the BRZ as planned

will this weather just not go away!?!?

Not only that but my recording of F1 qualifying was almost nothing but rain delay, then it was postponed. What a crummy day so far!!

Yeah I have a long trip today and another on Monday that I wanted to take my car out, Michigan has other plans. Now whenever the roads are dry I go drift every corner to make up for lost time.
