Tip: don't seek approval from anyone.

Yea, she has to drive the car from time to time. I am NOT dropping a S/C in there without her knowing wtf is going on. (She isn't light on the throttle pedal either)

I'll be there in spirit, I'll be suffering in 70 degree temps on a beach sipping adult beverages somewhere in the Caribbean Ocean.

Quick update on the Discount Tire complaints I've had on this thread. They completely turned it around from a negative to a positive. Even though I offered them cheaper alternatives, they've special ordered the original high performance summer tires I had scheduled to install and will swap it for the touring all seasons they actually installed (which now have mileage on them) free of charge.

The manager was in total agreement that anyone working at discount tire should know better than to say standard all seasons were the same as performance summer so either the employee needs to learn more about his job or he was lying to my wife. Neither my wife nor I had to be mean or insisting - they came forward with this attitude, apologies, and proposal to fix the situation.

So when are we next meeting? Cars and Coffee this weekend? (assuming its not still freezing) or the one referenced for Sat the 18th? I must admit I have never been to a car meetup before so I don't know what to expect!

This Sunday at the Oasis. They're fun when a lot go. Get to meet owners and talk about builds. Seeing parts in person is awesome too! Just clean up your car and come out.

I'll miss the Oasis meet due to church commitments, but look forward to the Starbucks meet on the 18th.
It's on my calendar ...

I love getting off work and walking out to this to drive home.

I saw a black BRZ on the drive home via 360.. Even took the same exit as me (2222).
