Drove car to work, did not crash. Time to start the counter over

I wish I had driven my FRS today. Wound up next to a red twin of some variety ( it was dark and didn't notice till I was right next to them). Didn't wave, cause that would be weird, and they didn't wave back. Passed them, clearly because the twins have no torque compared to the monstrous 1.6L in my Hyundai (had absolutely nothing to do with the other driver behaving like a rational human in traffic). And guess what? Noone involved crashed! Max blast kudos, all 'round!

Wow! Sounds like an action-packed day!

Drove my BRZ a lot today. Didn't crash btw.

Been driving my 86 every day this week, and haven't crashed even once. Been a good week.

Drove my FRS in the snow for the first time after I got off the stock tires (don't do it on pre-facelift stockers, it don't work too good). Man is this car fun with no traction. Did not crash.

PS. My phone refuses to take low res pictures, and I haven't set up an image hosting solution... So that's why the picture is gianormous...

Messing around with a friend this weekend on a highway and it turns out she had a kayak paddle and a piece of foam bungee'd the the roof of her GTI which flew off at about 100 and I had to do some parts dodging at speed, because my 86 was obviously behind the turbo VW. Ran over the foam, did not crash.

Sorry, that counts as a crash cos you ran over it...

My car was living a pampered life until last week when it was rudely awoken to DD chores. Used it for the whole week without incident but I have a small issue, the DD is too short for the car to warm up (circa 2mile drive to the new office).

Frustratingly, there is no public transport, it's just that little bit too far to walk along a very busy road (Summer time should be nice but sucks in the winter).

Well, start it up. Have a cup of tea and wait until it is warm.

Proceed to drive it....

But don't crash. That part is key.

Especially during the warm-up part.

Probably end up starting a new thread "Left my car to warm up, someone nicked it!"

Drove the 10 Series from Long Island thru NYC to Tintin Falls, NJ outlet and back. First extended drive in the winter + wet roads in a long time with stock tires. Made it back accident and dent free but rear end of car is filthy. Can't wait for spring!
