Interesting that you gonna keep it in Zenki instead of Kouki. But I do understand what you mean by steering wheel controls.




Haha maybe, but now I’m used to very sporty low seating from 86/BRZ. Now I have these seats, it’s not helping lol


Also previously, I had Impreza coupe, so it doesn’t help at all w new WRX

I forgot I had driven a Kouki and how different it was when I said that lol. Though as quick as it felt I could probably just drop a new final drive in a Zenki and get the same thing. Would definitely get a 15+ so the major bugs were gone. I feel like my March 2012 build is a ticking time bomb haha

But yeah, I had an 05 STi and a 02 wagon before. When I have the space for another car it's gonna be a GD STi or a bugeye or hawkeye wagon.

Actually, I think the Chiron needs to be modified with special bumpers for US sale...

Edit: lets see if this works...

Because people can't parallel park. I see people use the cars either side to know when they can't go further that way all the time...

Ah yes, parking by Braille.

I always thought all cars should have a rubber bumper sort of like my old 1983 Mercedes 240D. That way you could bump a little here and there... I guess that could escalate quickly though.

I did for part of the 80s and a few years in the early 2000s. Those pictures of my 58s that I keep throwing around were my normal, year round daily drivers not weekend toys or special occasion only. Get some strange looks when you pull up to a drive through in the dead of winter in something like that.

Haha I get some looks in my 74 Lincoln, I can't imagine a '58 must be like 10 fold.

It's not so much in parking lots or narrow streets that get me. It's when there's a small accident on the other side of the highway, but EVERY. SINGLE. LANE. needs to slow down to a crawl to get a good look at what happened.

Kind of makes me worried that the people slowing down for a peek, likely have to slow down because they're not able to drive at a regular pace, and take a look at the same time.

For some random stuff that doesn't involve cars...

The apartment is so dry, that I've been waking up with headaches and congestion just about every morning for the past week. Love blowing my nose first thing in the morning, and having it bleed. I really need to buy my own place.
