Hm... Ok. I think I'll just plan on washing the car this weekend and then prepare to do the detailing the following week, I think we got a 3 day weekend coming up.

This might be a depressing question to ask. But are you guys planning ahead for winter yet? I picked up some Impreza WRX 16" rims wrapped in Nitto SN2 snow tires:



I drove Miatas on dedicated snow tires for years, and they are a lot of fun to drive in the snow. Our cars should be too.

Oh yea, I have thought ahead the day I bought the car. I haven't decided what route im going with. I am going to talk to my cousin who runs the Discount Tire store in Eden Prairie to see what he says...

Yep, picked up some very lightly used Blizzaks off Craigslist a while back. I already have an extra set of wheels, and got TPMS sensors from tirerack. Just need to take them and have them all put together.

Wow Ryan, that looks great! I can't wait to see it up close and hear it.

I was surprised at how much more robust the exhaust note was when Alan and I put his Nameless axleback on. The Perrin should be just as awesome.

That was me, and I have the Buck special plates.

I'll be parking there more since it's free, so if you're directing you'll spot me again
