It still cleans up nice! Too cold for tire gel ��, it looks to have frozen in -16 prior to drying.

Condensation issue fixed by caulking the tailights at the top to seep water over tailights instead of under. Being as I am from Ottawa as well and the weather and salt over the past month have been brutal I would suggest your car is the cleanest in all the land. Kudos to you!!!!

Was going to suggest a dirty car competition but there is no way I can compete with Raven!

Installed my new suede shifter and e-brake boot from Top Stitch Trim. Fit was pretty good, little loose under the shifter knob.

My local track setup a snow/ice course within their paddock for a lapping event.

By the time I got there there was plenty of ice dug up.
Still had a blast and they got some cool shots too!

The dealership replaced my side windows and window guides/seals to get rid of the vertical scratches. Job took about 1.5-2 hours

Today all my paperwork went through, and I bought my FRS since my lease is up. First car in 20 years that I've wanted to keep. This may actually be the one to hand down to my daughter in a few years.

That looks really fun! Did you use any specialized tires?

Just my usual non studded Pirelli winters. That are pretty worn as well

Studded definitely would have helped in the icy bits.

Not today, but over the past week - standard brake maintenance, replaced TOB and Pilot, upgraded to Verus Engineering clutch fork and pivot, Tomei UEL Catless header and Invidia Q300 Catback.

Took my car for a little victory rip after getting it running again! VVT issues be damned, I'll never stop loving this car

Too lazy to go find the brz thread, same difference. I got an alignment today. Much needed after I dropped coils, endlinks, rlca, and toe arms in.
