Wut? No! That's crazy! They're just wiper blades. ...and yes, the dealer ones are superior. I guess we'll be going to Subaru for them. :/

Had all the fluids changed, new pads & rotors, and a quick wash.

Looking good, @KMA KiCKz! Where did you get it serviced?

CM Autohaus located in Fremont, can't recommend them enough. Ezekiel is phenomenal in what he does. I believe he specializes in the 86 platform and he's also owned an FRS himself.

New wipers. 8 years and they wear out.

They just don't make them like they used to.

Nice! That's where I was thinking about going for my TOB service when the time comes! Glad to hear another glowing recommendation. Thank you!

I know you were kidding, but you were right. My cheap ass wiper blades didn't last a single rainstorm. Was driving over this bridge in the rain and the wind nearly blew me off the road. Wiper blade came out of it's groove and quit working at a very bad time.
I guess you get what you pay for.
Shoulda went with the expensive OEM wipers.

Noooo.... After the rainstorm, not during. Yikes!

Hit up shannonville track last week. Did some maintenance stuff prior, oil change, brake fluid flush, clutch fluid.

Tried HP+ pads which were more than enough for PS4 tires. Not a fan of the dust though..

Got me some new track rubber. Very curious how these tires will perform.

I curbed my wheel......
But did not crash?
Or does that count as a cosmetic crash?
