86, pretty cool eh?

Not the flashiest gas station, but the octane rating and price on each selection is very real.

Watched a movie and after, when I looked outside, it's raining.

*sigh*

Guess I have to go over it again with a detailer in the morning...

I picked the 96, which was I think $6.10 a gallon. I didn't feel any movement on the butt-dyno, but the power delivery feels smoother and the engine feels happy being off the crappy CA 91.

Finally I met up with 2 other BRZ owners in Belmont, CA to set up our tint/clear-bra appointments. My BRZ is the SWP on the left. So cool to meet other BRZ owners in the Bay Area!

Oh, I also ordered some Motul 0w-30 full synthetic motor oil, a magnetic drain oil plug, and a gold series oil filter from NLM, and I put a deposit down on Visconti's ECUtek proecu/STG 1 flash group buy. Gonna be a busy couple of weeks
Awesome to see another Bay Area owner around! I'm in Belmont myself! You don't happen to work in SF do you? I see an SWP Limited right around the corner from where I work, on Brannan/8th.

Luckily it was a clean rain and it didn't dry overnight. It's back to clean again.

Yesterday I got my car detailed/Opti-Coated. Today I registered my car at the NY DMV (what fun that was), installed the plates using my Grimmspeed license plate relocator kit, installed a Curb-Alert under the front air dam, lowered my clutch engagement point following the DIY instructions on these forums, installed a Perrin 2 inch shorty antenna, and enjoyed all the looks and thumbs ups that people were giving me as I drove around town.

Some guy parked next to me at the DMV and immediately took his phone out to start taking pictures. Perhaps he'll be one of us soon

I have my Perrin crank pulley that I'll install this weekend.
