It's getting harder to find ethanol-free gas stations. If I had the dough, I'd open a gas station for enthusiasts where we had nothing but fresh high quality petrol and affordable candy bars.

I'm with you...

Actually with my recent change in jobs I now go by a Sunoco station that has ethanol-free gas. Unfortunately they also have really good breakfast biscuits.....

So you've been running E15 until recently? I bet your journal will see an improvement in fuel economy if you consistently stop at the Sunoco. Make the biscuit a Friday thing. We're doing good riding our bicycles lately. Gotta keep up the good progress!

Too much bass going on here?

2 x Alpine SWS-12D4's wired to 1 ohm in 1 Cu. Ft. sealed boxes

1 x Kenwood KAC-9105D

Running ~900W RMS @ 1 ohm

People who ride in my car with the radio half way up complain that they can feel it throughout their body and some even cover their ears...AT HALF WAY!

I'm so used to it though so unless I really crank it, it's perfect. I ran the same setup in my previous vehicle but was at 3 Cu. Ft. ported which gave some serious deep bass which I miss

The FR-S is completely fatmatted so no rattles at all thank god.

So, overkill or not for this car?

Are front end links absolutely necessary to install coilovers in the front, or would the stock ones do? I'm looking at buying a pair but I'm unsure on whether or not they come with the front links...

Haven't stopped there yet for gas. Problem is it's nearly a $1 more per gallon. Hard to justify.

Pretty upset, I just found out after talking with a friend that I was overcharged 300$ for Rosie's cremation ....
Its something I can look past since they were so great in helping me keep her healthy.I would bring her in every 2 weeks...
What upsets me the most is that I didn't get a casting of her paw print.... My friend did with her dog...


I wish I could hold her again... I hate being home
