My wife? That's a different story. She is sick of the whole car bit.
Hahaha I hear you on that. My GF wasn't great with the FRS even with no kids.

I had a new TC for 6 months before trading for one of the twins!!

Haha! I know who this is. We will have to connect some day.

We can team up in situations like this. The girls just don't understand.

My fiance gave in because she was so sick of me talking about getting the BRZ. I think the quote was:

"Just get the freaking car. So long as I don't have to hear about it maybe or maybe not happening after that I don't care - go!"

Done!

My wife had the same feeling as your fiancι after I had my new car for just over a year and a half. She said something like "It's your car, do what you want just keep me out of it". Lol.

One of the benefits of BRZ ownership. Fewer idiotic owners jacking my rates up.

Unfortunately, not few enough. Remember kiddies, snow tires.

Wrapped my modified snorkel with some DEI Reflect-A-Cool over the weekend, damn time consuming, but should help deflect some heat


Not too worried about heat today, it's -51c with the wind chill here today...

Debadged "Subaru" and gave the car a rinse at a drive through, touchless wash.

Got around to putting on the rally armor mud flaps to help keep the car less salty from winter roads, also put on the center console jdm knee pads. Still have the door speaker pads to do but havnt got the needed screws yet.

Nice. How was the install of the knee pads?
