I suppose I would get used to it, but Fahrenheit has a better "spread" to it to me.

The practical range for weather for example seems better differentiated in F than C.

My Pug 206 was the first car I owned with a digital temperature display for the air con thermostat. My first thought on getting the car was there's no need for this level of technology. It took me about 3 days to think how did I ever manage with a cable controlled hot/cold tap. On getting the BRZ I thought 1/2 degree C increments was a little fussy. Took me about 3 days to wondering if 1/3 degree increments might be better.

TIL: (in the spirit of @Sapphireho) if you mix Snyder Pretzel Bits flavors Hot Buffalo, Cool Ranch, and Parmesan Garlic all in the same container you have tasty treat!

(They were BOGO at Publix so I decided to try them all)

TIL, that I missed on a fantastic RCE suspension deal on the classifieds. The STI bushings look good, but not a priority.



Damn it......
