So I was driving w/ VSC Sport in the Common's garage today, and a police officer was waiting on the ramp to the 4th floor. I let the end a little loose before the police officer. When I got up to the officer, I pulled up next to her and said I was sorry for making a noise. She said it was fine and told me that I should drive the FRS fast on the Beltway. I asked her why a cop is telling me to do that, and she said that she'd do it too if she had the same car. Then she complimented on my car and went on her way.

It's the student parking garage in University Maryland, Baltimore County.

Do they still have that crazy steep incline at the entrance to the commons garage? I graduated from UMBC 6 years ago and I heard it's like crazy different now.

UMBC Alum here...graduated in 2007. I thought it was the commons garage @ UMBC but wanted to confirm. Three of my cousins are now at UMBC.

Go Retrievers! (sigh)

You were getting loose in the commons garage?! I almost get into head-on collisions taking it slow up there.

It's not as steep as it was before, but it's pretty steep. I did scratch the underside of front bumper when I first got it, but as long as you're <10 mph, you'll make it out easily.

Yeah lol, I only do it at an empty garage (in the morning around 7:30/8-ish. Every modified cars loves to rev their engines when they go up/down the garage, but I do some wheeling and dealing.

Oh yeah, the acoustics in there are amazing. Makes the FR-S sound like a
DBS. Then you get out and wish you had a decent exhaust.

I know, I just removed my strut tower and a few covers that could come off (I have to drive to work tomorrow). I think I'll actually be able to get it all done tomorrow. I was planning on finishing up Saturday morning but I just inventoried all the parts and browsed through the install guide and it looks pretty straight forward.

I'll be up at Pure at some point next week to finish off my brake work. (and again for the meet)
