Started the BRZ sitting in the garage for winter, and let it run for awhile... gonna get down to -40 wind chill tonight. (good news it will be over after tomorrow) And yes the BRZ did not sound happy about starting - seems like it never has really liked running in the cold.
I did see my first FRS that I have ever saw on the road coming home last night on I-75N between Cincy and Dayton. I Just came from the game watching my Bengals getting their ass kicked earlier. Not sure who he was but he sure was flying in the fast lane in pretty crappy road conditions. I salute him, as I was in my Avalanche doing around 70-75mph and really though I was pushing it.

In other news, I hit 950 miles today. Not bad for two weeks! After work tomorrow I should be much closer to that magical 1k mark! I might make a detour through the local twisties to get that mileage over with! :P

Here in Australia they have the 'Subaru', it looks wrong as no other Subaru's here have it, the letters are too small and it is redundant Pleides star badge anyway.

That was my feeling about the lettering, obviously the BRZ lettering doesn't quite have the redundancy problem.

I came from a long line of Volvo owners...that body style is the sexiest thing...aside from my baby BRZ of course because I don't have favorites.

Edit: I forgot to say CONGRATS!

I finally got around to installing my front Godspeed sway bar and went to my first local FRS/BRZ meet. I'm a huge meet whore and still go to all of my rotary meets (owned nothing but rotary powered cars for over 10 years).

Anyways, my rear Godspeed sways and AVO's Bar Reinforcement will go on tomorrow.

If the car is still close to being 'new', you can even just use a heat gun/hair dryer and slowly pull them off.
