Yea see the issue is, after I watched that video someone posted about some type of collisions (I forgot what it's called, was it like "small overlap"? where one side of the car takes all the crash energy, tends to crush that side of the car into the cabin), I'm going to be very careful on these 2 lane roads. Not to mention that the Spyder is probably not the most collision resistant car out there.

Good thing the shoulders had some extra room.

Thought this was a good comment if ever need to explain to the kids on what they just saw.

This one is better...although I think someone already posted it in the Youtube thread.

Frontal offset collision; one of the most dangerous types of collision.

Lol, good times. I still listen to the Koji Kondo Game Soundtrack every once in a while. Brings back memories.

Oh and and my friend found YouTube videos for all the 'Days remaining' cutscenes. Complete with the ominous 'DUN DUN' audio. He posts one every day now.

Pretty much everyone I know has gotten out already.

Anyone besides me see the resemblance between the BRZ and Aston Martin Vantage?

I was doing some research at work on underhood vents - apparently the ones on the AM are real and actually serve a function (the fake ones on the BRZ are the one thing I don't like about my car!!)

So I just pulled my O2 sensors out (had to take heat shield off the exhaust manifold because the O2 sensor wrench wouldn't fit into one of the holes with it in! )

Anyways, my postcat sensor which has been triggering CEL is only 2 years old, and I discovered that it was coated with a very thick layer of soot. Could it be that it's just the soot causing the problem and a clean will take care of it? It would be nice if I didn't have to change them... If so, what do I clean it with?

IPA might work, if liberally applied. I wonder if any petroleum based product will work? Nothing cleaned out my stuck IACV like some gasoline did.

I have a sinking feeling that most of the girls who drive a Tc will switch over to the frs...
... This thought really bothers me more than it should. I guess because I know most of them don't know a lot about it, and will end up crashing these babies while on their cell phones...

I try to look it in positive side. When you need extra part, you'll find it in junk yard, instead of forking over arm & leg for it lol

Hmmm...splurged on a 17 dollar ratcheting wrench though (boy is it convenient, it actually works!), don't feel like buying a bottle of petroleum spirits or whatever it's called. Maybe I could take it to my middle school where the "industrial tech" teacher has a lot of that stuff for cleaning things.

Wonder if acetone does the trick, could steal my mom's nail polish remover...
