To the girl in the SWP BRZ on 75 this afternoon: I wasn't trying to creep but my exit was right there and I was trying to get your attention. Apparently, Burt face didn't work.
TBH, didn't know you were a lady until I got next to you in full awkward mode.

I just saw a SWP BRZ on woodward driven by a lady, probably same one, I tried to pull up next to her but no go.

All bundled up for winter. I also noticed my coolant level was just below the low line (when cold). Seems kind of odd. Has anyone else noticed something like that? I'll double check and top off in the spring and take it to the dealer if it keeps going down.

Not going to drive it year round? It is great in the winter.

My old car still runs and drives and I got a good deal on the storage so I just opted to store it. Plus, the BRZ is new and is like to keep it away from the salt as long as I can.

Plan on keeping car long term?

At this point in time, I do.

I think my car may be done for the winter as well. I need to wash it up real good and clean out my garage bay for it, but I think i'm done driving it to work, etc.. At least I can take the collision insurance off of it for the winter.

Mine sits just below low when cold and just below max when hot. I'm keeping an eye on mine too. Pretty sure there is a thread about it somewhere in the Issues/TSB's/Recalls etc area of the forum.

I put my winter tires on this weekend. We can be pretty confident of 2 - 4 weeks of unseasonably warm and dry weather.

Just an fyi, I'm thinking about planning a trip down to the Tail of the Dragon next year. I'll keep you guys updated if anyone is interested in going as well.

I seem to be loosing coolant slowly. There's a thread about, seems somewhat common.
This year I'm not installing winter tires on my BRZ, and I intend to drive it during winter when there's no chance of precipitation/roads are clear.

Any recommended tire shops in or around Ann Arbor? Time to get winter tires on OEM wheels.

Even when I had all seasons the car handled well in the snow.
