Wow, it definitely made the CF pop.

It's a 30% chance of showers, so it may not happen at all. However, my Yaris got dumped on a few days ago out of no where so she's filthy right now

Was thinking about washing her this morning, but I looked at the forecast and saw that possibility of showers. So I just cleaned off the front windshield instead and finished installing the back up cam (connected the reverse trigger wire of the HU so it'll automatically turn on when I go into reverse instead of me manually turning on the cam)

It was the previous owner who put it and I kinda liked it so I left it in there. It looks like a vinyl strip as far as texture and how it held in there after power washing the car.

Looks like Shukai festival 2017 was announced. Going to be Oct. 8th, I think.

Unfortunately it looks like they already decided way beforehand which groups were going to be able to register, so there's that.

But in general it's a pretty cool little free car show in San Jose Japantown every year.

That font is a reference to the actual font of the 205 t16 badge
