I made the mistake of driving into work yesterday as well. I got a lot of sh*t from coworkers for not checking the weather before I drove in. REALLY? IT'S THE MIDDLE OF APRIL!

Anyways, drove home about noon and it was horrible with Summer tires; really horrible.

Well, looks like we all made the same mistake! I spent 40 minutes just getting out of the parking lot at work last night...

I'm glad I just decided to park it this slush is like kryptonite for the BRZ. Carrie and I both worked from home today, went out for lunch and picked up the BRZ at the same time. No problem driving now.

Oh my. This was what I was afraid of..and you're way lower.

You have to drive way north, don't you?

Yeah it wasn't too fun getting out of that mess! But I work in Maple Grove/ live in Blaine so it's not too far off. Plus, once I got out of the parking lot I was fine

I made it home from work on Thursday only to get stuck in the drive way. Here's my car in disguise.

Spiegler SS lines installed. Thanks to @CSG Mike for the hookup!

Spiegler is pretty serious about their torture tests.

Even with all the testing, it's always a good idea to periodically check your braking system (pads, lines, fluid, etc). They're, after all, the most important component of any car.

I plan to install them when it gets warm. Perhaps we could get together an do both cars at the same time. I was having trouble finding a shop around here to do the work anyways, most just won't install customer-supplied parts, and none of them even know what SS lines are.

Edit: Oops, what, you already have them installed? I'll PM you.

Nice shots! I'll bet you drove very slow with all the puddles on the road.
