YOUR drive home sucked? I blew a flat in the rain and took me awhile to swap it out. Thankfully @TheFRSChick and her crew drove back and helped me out.

Really had a great time meeting some folks. I only wish I could have said hi to everyone. Was amazing to see all the other FRS/BRZ's and all the cool mods you have already done.

I am curious about your sig. I use a program on my Galaxy S3 to track MPG but i saw your sig. How does that work? i assume you input the data maybe into your phone and it updates to the website?
Yeah. I set it up online and then downloaded the app. It tracks a lot more data online than just MPG. If you cluck the image it will take you to my page to browse around.

I took a look at it and the downside is they don't seem to say NA/SC/TC. Having a SC does change MPG. Toyota was smart about it and it can be just as good as the NA but it would be nice to note it. Toyota uses a clutch (like an AC compressor i am told) that when the throttle is pushed past a point, electromagnetically engages the SC. I have gotten 32MPG without cruise control.

It would be cool to do some sort of a mod get together when its warmer out. For all those little installs. The park accross the street had way more parking.

**So i was looking around and they have you use your old people PDA (pen and paper). For android there is an app called Mileage that lets you set up a profile for each vehical and then you input your current ODD reading, the fuel price and how many gallons. Works great! I signed up, added some data and set it as my sig but i am sure like everything else on these boards, someone has to review it.**

Hey man, so glad you and Rob could come out. Yeah the rain was a bummer, but I was happy to see the FR-S and it's Prius tiers handled the wet just fine. I very carefully tested the tires a couple times and was impressed to see how well it handled in the wet.

I am still chucking every time I think of Nathan pouting and pointing at the screen that said it wasn't subscribed to see the Shark's game to the waitress.

Was actually curious of anyone got a head count. I counted 21. Also those Jalapeno Poppers destroyed me the next day!

Thanks again to everyone and I can't wait for the next meetup.
