@Tcoat No I've never seen chips packaging like that.

I grew up primarily on modern JDM Calbee potato chips.

They didn't stay fresh as long but you didn't need an engineering degree to open them and if you tore a 2 inch opening it stayed two inches not suddenly and for no apparent reason go all he way down the bag. And the grease was sooooo tasty.

I reckon I'll drift on over to the Buick forum and read about how the old timers, that had shoulder problems, were thinking they were going to have to trade their car with one that had an electric starter ....

You might be the only one drifting in a Buick forum.

@Tcoat never saw the Hostess ones sound good though. I do remember the packaging though.

My favorites are from UTZ. I love their Red Hot Chips and their BBQ Chips. About once a year I get a craving for their "Crap Chips" which are seasoned with Old Bay.

Is it my imagination or is aftermarket support for this platform diminishing?

More like leveled out would be my guess.There is only so much new and innovative that can be done. It doesn't help the perception that they released so much info to the aftermarket before the car even was released that there was a very quick turn over in add ons. Most cars have to be out a couple of years before the aftermarket hits the level that this one had at release.

Could be. Diode dynamics fog lights were on my list and are no longer available that I can see. I guess I shouldn't have put the Wife through University haha

They have to be those particular ones?
These are what I have. They even have the housing to replace the double dash switch with the triple.

My wife got those for me for Christmas so I didn't even get a chance to support a vendor. I opened them up and expected crap but it is actually a really well done kit. Haven't get them in yet though!

Looks pretty cool that it becomes a third button for this kit.

If there's anything I don't necessarily like for the driver functions setup in our cars, it's probably the fog light being on the light stalk. It just feels sort of dumb, especially since stalk twists mostly have multiple functions, like the wiper changes speeds and turn signal at least turns on high beams, which makes sense. Wouldn't mind just having a button for it.

For few days now, I’m watchung Hot Version vids, specially seeing 86/BRZ specials to get some ideas and pretty interesting to see some of their results. Revolution 86 which has NA engine and few times ran stock engine and lapping faster time than some of FI 86/BRZ... but again, their 86 weight 992kg (2186lbs) that’s prob a big factor.
