Spotted @ramiel again. This time at 8 Mile and Merriman. I thought he lived down river so it seems odd I would spot him twice up here.

It was a 2010 and yes I was getting tired of having the fr-s sit in the garage sense I only drive it one day a week. But the evo is horrible I pulled out put my foot down and it fell flat on it's face. It's not fun to drive and the power is extreamly unpredictable as it spools whenever it feels like it and changes dramatically based on the conditions. It was fast but at the end of the day not all around impressive at all.

I haven't put the exhaust on yet. I am debating taking the car in for another hpfp, and a check on an uneven idle. So I figure i should wait until after I get that checked out to put on any exhaust. I'll put it on before I go to Carlisle Sound and Performance the first week of May though. |

Moral of the story:
Do not drive on a semi wet track with Prius tires on your BRZ. It will bite your ass like a shark! [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52292vqEF8k"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52292vqEF8k[/ame] The good part is at around 2:15! |

Spotted:
Orange, Blue, and Red twins headed on 94 East around 8:30a today, between US-23 and State Street, in Ann Arbor. I was headed West. I didn't see which twins they were (because I wasn't wearing my glasses), and they weren't driving together (As far as I know. Pretty random, lol) Anyone here? |

Yes I did, by the slightest of margins! It was very very close though. They were brake markers and not exactly poles, but it still would have caused a significant damage to the vehicle had I hit it.
Gingerman, in general, is a very safe track so I felt confident trying to push the vehicle to it's limits. During this session, I had the traction completely off, whereas the wise option should have been to keep it in Sport mode. |

It was a wet patch. If you look at the slomo at the end, the concrete patch on the left rear wheel was wet and on the right it was dry. This was probably the cause of the spin out. Lose traction on end, when you are exiting the corner while stepping on the gas with a correction steer input!
