I let my mom drive my FR-S for the first time(with me in the passenger seat, I'm no fool). I figured she would enjoy it. And she did... her top speed was only 2 mph less than I have ever taken it. She said... "this is better than meditation."

As for what that speed was... well, let's just say I was glad she would have gotten a ticket and not me.

Ordered more stupid LED stuff. This time it was an LED flasher module and new white LED turns. This will be the 5th different bulb in my turn signal housing, including stock..........

Can we please throw everyone into a midlife crises? Maybe if they drive a car that can corner as easily as the BRZ/FRs they will do the speedlimit and not drop to 15MPH to make a turn.

Trying to get them to match the lows and/or just trying out new looks. I've had 5 different bulbs in the low beams as well. Cheap HIDs and LEDs will never make you happy btw. I keep learning that lesson but I never change lol
