A taste of spring at near 55 degrees today! After >10 for the past few weeks it is a blessing. That being said the mod bug bit early this year...

Ordered: Perrin 4" shorty antenna, a plate frame and an OEM Toyota 86 Armrest.
What am I looking at....? LOL

That STI light on the start button is cool, does it pulsate before starting?

Honestly, after DD-ing the BRZ for half a year, I've developed this uncanny habit of taking corners faster than normal when compared to other cars that are turning the same corner. I carried over this habit to the Prius, and I ended up losing traction and heard the tires skid when I turned a tight corner. Traction control warning popped up. All that body roll and vague handling slapped me on the wrist and I feel as if my habit is slowly correcting itself.

oh and did I mention the acceleration?
