The dogs were wild yes.. However, second thought: There was 2 big Papa Johns Mexican pizza in the trunk at that time. Oh man.. they smell..

I might have made them wild..

I over did it cleaning gutters yesterday. I was going to go for a drive today, but my knees aren't up to it.

I will not try to repair it (or should I?).. This is a everyday use car, and things happen. I wish nothing worse happen..

Here are a few ideas for you

You never turn your internal combustion engine on?!?

But when the engine warms up a little, I close the infotainment thing, and put it into manual mode, push the sports button... I especially love the exhaust noise between 4k-5k

I rarely have the radio on in any of my cars. I got in the habit when my DD for 5 years was a 1970 jeep Gladiator that didn't have a radio.

I do it primarily on my commute (which is 40 miles each way and relatively heavily policed by local jurisdictions) so not much of a way to make it interesting. I do on occasion take the longer paths home which are much more interesting and then the books are off.

My commute adds up to about one audiobook a week since that's about the only time I listen to them. Thankfully its free entertainment as I borrow them from my public library.

Didn't realize you had the BRZ STI Turbo Hybrid+. Nice.

Spent alotta money on my car and here I am under it putting the stock muffler back on...

anyone want a 5 inch nameless muffled tip?

funny how we try to reengineer a good thing by dumping parts at it.

Im kinda over the UEL sound too. Thought I missed it. I dont XD

Also I would def try the hot water thing on the bumper. It looks like it could be popped back out. but youd have to watch for deformation on return. some of it mighta stretched out.

could be an easy fix if not rear bumpers in K1X arent expensive at all

Because of the consonants preceding and following them?
