A swept wing jet aircraft not unlike the one that would be on the hood of that 1956 Oldsmobile parked next to it.

I guess put it on the market. I have my deposit in for a Solterra and I will trade my cherry, red 2019 BRZ with 12,700k on it for it.

I'm not sure what is better, trade or sell it. Our local Craigslist has BRZs at amazing prices, more than I paid new.

put it up for sale privately for 'stupid money', and then come down or trade it in once the soltera comes in.

9 times out of 10 you will get more money selling it yourself.

But at the cost of extra stress, hassle, and time. It comes down to what you value your time and sometimes sanity.

Cleaned up the engine bay a bit today. Thinking of a bit more engine bay bling, maybe a Mishimoto inlet tube and a K & N drop in filter. I’ve read it gives a few more hp, a little sceptical of this but it’ll clean up the engine bay a bit by getting rid of the sound tube.

Did the door stay modification today. Quite easy to do thanks to advice on this forum.
Doors no longer auto close onto my legs.

Then, again after advice here, I used a hand sucker to remove excess oil from the sump via the dipstick tube. Really didn't want to get ramps and stands for such a simple job. Removed half a litre and the oil level is now just over the top mark, hot or cold. Much happier with it now.

Ummmm
Maybe some left overpaint?

Don't know about the Mishimoto, but I have some experience with the K&N. At the old Bridgehampton course, I used to run from corners 4 and 5 all the way in 4th gear in my normally aspirated 944. With a K&N, I had to use 5th. That's the only change I made in the car.

Yeah. I will have time, quite a lot of time and I'll get some numbers from the dealer as we approach the end of the year, and go from there.

Now its putting few miles on it, and keeping it sweet.

The wheels are so clean... Nice!

Cheers! Ironically didn’t touch those yesterday, did give the car a hose down on the weekend, usually do after most drives, so it stays pretty clean.

Hmmm OK, so it sounds like it made a meaningful difference.
