Saw the production status change for the first time since 5/21. Apparently they'll start building her on 9/3 >_>

Changed the oil and filter, and rotated the tires. For the oil change I used Amsoil Signature Series 0W20 oil and a Subaru 130 filter.

^ Probably just the angle, but the GTI looks like an SUV in comparison...

The GTI is actually quite a bit taller than the FR-S, about 7". Hot hatch v. sports car

I don't condone street racing...nor does this forum, but while on my way to Wally World for a "honey do errand" with honey in tow; Mr, ***hole in his Black and lowered G35...tuned I supposed, obviously felt the need to show me his car in an obnoxious manner.

He got right on my tail then did a flyby well above the posted 45mph speed limit. Using no turn signal and cutting off several motorist while zig zagging lane to lane, he affirmed his retardation...

As it turned out, without exceeding the speed limit, I ended up one car behind him at the traffic light, awaiting freeway entry. Once the light turned green (or blue if you're from Japan!) I scanned for the 5-0 morning rush hour patrol then administered my own single lane flyby. He didn't know what hit em! My only regret is, my car is filthy. (rained on)

LL-FRS bitches! ( I'm so ashamed...I'm 42)

Went for a drive. Sounds boring, but it wasn't! This car has restored my faith in the state of the current automobile.
