Drove my FR-S ~300 miles over the weekend to visit a buddy I hadn't seen in 40 years! A little beer, a lot of reminiscing, and did not crash.

Not quite right now, but last week ... At my day job, parked next to a buddy's classic, and a few hours later at my night job, parked next to a customer's GT-R. I'm back on summer tires now.
