So I took my car to the Inver Grove Heights Toyota dealer to get my crickets checked. It tested positive, and they've ordered parts. The interesting part of my visit was that they checked my alignment right after I arrived. I now have a nice report showing my alignment. Pretty neat stuff. Apparently, they have one tech specialize on the FR-S stuff too. I figured that was neat.

Don't be surprised when the crickets come back, it not really the part... It's the gas

I usually run BP 93 (90%) and have crickets.

I don't think I have crickets, but I could just be oblivious to them. E85 FTW!!!!

Yea it's either e85 or non oxy that relieves the issue.

Cars and coffee had the biggest turn out I've ever seen. I showed up at 7:30 and the Asian imports section had just filled up so my car didn't get in. By the time I left around 8:30 even the American section had pretty much filled up.

There was a Bugatti Vitesse there. A $2.5M dollar car that I could just reach out and put my dirty fingerprints all over. I do question the paint job chosen for an otherwise very classy car.

Have a relatively decent video of you rounding turn 3 and exiting to 4, quietly with the SC on board. Much nicer sounding than I expected. And yes, HPDS on Monday was awesome. See you at PG2015.1.

This car has been spotted all over the cities since he returned a few weeks ago. Until the last few days, without all of the vinyl. I'm sure it's just a wrap, so no need to worry about the paint. I think it's a two-tone with lighter blue under there.
