I use my windshield fluid what I consider to be a pretty good amount and I think I've only filled it once in about 15 months/16,000 miles since I've had my FR-S. But I also haven't taken mine up and down 5 at all where you're just squishing bugs like crazy.

Nah, armorall is too greasy and makes everything slippery. I like the meguiars interior detailer, works well in getting all the dust and lint off the dash and all the gunk that collects. I also have a set of these to get into the little nooks and crannies.

Ya, that is odd, I would check for leaks, specially on the pick-up at the bottom, etc. Doesn't your intercooler piping wrap around or get really close to the washer tank? Maybe the hotter summer temps causing it to evaporate quicker? just a hunch

A little brush for cleaning the air vents, eh? Reminds me of this:

They come in pretty handy actually. I use the large ones for cleaning the wheels and getting in between the spokes. The medium one works great for getting wax that accumulates in between the seems.

I'm not OCD...I swear!

I did get the HIDs. Installed them already too. Night and day difference. lol. Just plastidipped my current 16s wheels. I'm now contemplating if I really want to get the bigger and heavier aluminum alloy 18" OEM wheels or stay on my 16s! Coz I have a couple of new R18 tires sitting that was not used from my 86.

Ah, but if it's in the background then you miss trombone girl jamming the fuck out and Dan the Automator pretending to be a conductor (although for all I know he's actually conducting). I think I'm just a sucker for adding an orchestra to anything. And orchestra, plus rock band, plus Kid Koala on turntables plus backup singers

It should be pretty damned close to a closed system so I don't think that evaporation would matter. But that's a good point about the IC piping. It could have rubbed up against the reservoir and caused a problem. Or if it's the hot side piping that maybe could cause a problem if it's too close even if its not rubbing.
