Officially sold her today... in a few days when the transporter comes to pick her up and bring her to her new owner I know will shed a few tears as she departs.

The FR-S will be very missed... first new car I ever bought and the best car I've ever had even with its idiosyncrasies and Subaru lineage...had two Subarus before, never wanted another one. I was a car I got in spite of the boxer motor it was given.



I will be out of debt now though (as of next CC payments, totally paying down and getting rid of one card and totally paying down and keeping the other)...

From a couple days ago... Vlands















































I don't understand why they come wired incorrectly but with quick disconnects so it can get rewired easily. Seems weird to me but they look great.

Weird indeed. Mine came with the row wiring, but no quick disconnects 🤔

Picked up a set of BRZ PP wheels and lowered with Eibach Sportlines. What a difference a small drop makes in overall aesthetics.

Oil change

Swapped 0w20 for this:
So far so good. Holds redline oil pressure above 58 psi no matter oil temp. so far unlike the 0w20. I will run it for the summer/fall then blackstone it to see the results.

I replaced the factory, 6 year old battery with a Duralast Platinum AGM.

Nothing automotive... going down to one vehicle with the Frontier. As Tcoat said, this was my way of getting out of my credit card debt.

tough decision, but a truck is a lot better all-arounder than the car. i hope it works out for you!
