It was my sonic, not my FRS. Unfortunately, I'm probably gonna have to sell it soon. Things were tight before this and now it's worse. I do hope to get another FRS in the next year or so. Thinking about getting a drift beater going. I really want drift seat time and just cant do it with the FRS.


I tried to upload a pic, but it's too big.
He did it with rubbing alcohol, so it didn't get to bad. Poured it on the drivers front fender. It's charred. The mirror's charred. There's melted plastic and tire. Both fenders, front bumper, and hood are messed up mostly from being pried open by the FD.

I'm glad he's in jail, but it's put me in a rough spot but I'm in good spirits.

Speaking of tires, 1958 miles on the WRX and the rear passenger side tire has picked up a nail. It should be able to get a patch, but with so few miles I'm wondering if it makes more sense to pick up a new tire.

Just put your picture in any photo editing program and make it smaller.

Glad that dude is in jail - he looks to be crazy.-

Don't be a tool. You know he's right.

If the nail isn't in the sidewall, I'd suggest you just have it patched.

Surely the smart call. Sitting at the tire shop now.

comeon Ultramaroon you know tires aren’t properly measured by their dimensions but by the amount of fun they provide you on the road!

I had the best drive tonight. The weather was amazing, car running fantastic, no one in my way from 17 to 9 on Bear creek road. Had a Clamato Budweiser at Joes, and came back down Bear Creak. Actually got the Lotus sliding a couple times. Super fun.

Came home and cooked an awesome meal in my new kitchen. Going into the hot tub now. Life is pretty good right now.

Hope you are all happy.

Monday is the last day to buy a Tesla and get the 7500 tax rebate. Should I get a Model 3?

EDIT:
Just saw this on a Tesla Model 3 forum:

Things I learned from Tesla service:
-The passenger window sticking out past the B pillar trim is for "aerodynamics" even though none of the other windows look like this.
-The loose plastic interior trim by the door jamb just "kind of sits there, it doesn't really clip in" when I pointed out that just the driver's side one is loose
-No other car companies have completely painted hinges or door jambs
-The missing wheel well clips are normal, even though I had one installed, some cars had them all installed, but most had none installed
-The paint drip on the end of my fender is normal because all the other model 3s have it.
-the misalignment resulting from the paint drip on the fender is also normal
-the gap between the rear bumper cover and trunk weatherseal is normal
-headlights protruding from the bodywork are normal
-there is no way to fix a misaligned taillight
-you can adjust the strikeplate to fix the door that looks like it's not closed, but, I mean, it's not even an issue
-the half-painted door jamb is normal because the other side had a different half-painted area
-no other car company releases their tolerance specs
-door handles don't have to be consistently flush/inset with door panel
-other car companies have different issues
-I won't be satisfied with another car so I might as well take the car to the body shop to have it resprayed to fix the paint issues
-I'm a picky person

Things I didn't learn from Tesla service:

-When the replacement trunk liner due to standing water in my trunk at delivery is due in
-What suspension part numbers are specific to my car
