Did the Radium aluminum expansion tank (plastic Toyota one was rotting), and new hoses at the same time. Was super easy. I took it to the Lotus specialists in the bay area and paid the bill.

Trying to decide on getting an electric scooter mostly for puttering around within a mile or two of my apartment so that I can grab food/coffee/tea or visit the park without needing to start and warm up the car every time.

I think I found one but it turns out that even when it's folded it won't fit the BRZ's trunk, unless I have the seats folded. And apparently while it's a bit big even the smaller ones have relatively similar dimensions.

I had not serious thoughts about an electric scooter before they were fashionable. The performance of some of them is over the top.

To be honest I've never even thought much of them. But lately I've been thinking on it and how it's kind of annoying to cold start my car for a 3-10 minute drive only to park, let it cool off again, and do the same thing a half hour or less later.

The other benefit I forgot to mention earlier is that eventually I'll need to start going back to the office. I refuse to park my car at the train station, which is like four miles away. Sooo a scooter would be useful for commuting if I can feel comfortable enough.
