Post Drove my BRZ today and did not crash

Today was a simple morning for me. I went to get some groceries and got some coffee at Starbucks.

No traffic, cloudy day, and got home safe. Now my BRZ is safe and sound in the garage. Hmm.. perhaps I should do some detailing!

Safe travels.

I get really confused with you Americans, one minute it's all imperial and then suddenly metric makes a show.. what's wrong with an inch of rain? Sounds more dramatic...
