Well it was August and hot and humid as hell, so I went around back and found the complexes electrical panels, figured out which one was for my apt., took my bayonet and popped the lock off of the panel and "activated" my power supply.

I ran those two big A/C units full blast for 2 months ....... never got a bill ...... thus never paid one ....... HEY - I was a POOR soldier ......

No, no, no, I WANT the moisture frozen I just don't want to have to scrape it off the windows.

Well, in that case, you could always take a couple gallons of hot water out and pour it over the windows.

Each window won't crack more than twice ......

I would buy an OEM cover just because I think it compliments the car

I bought an OEM cover. It's real fancy, even says BRZ on it. Hugs the curves real well, you can definitely tell it's a sporty car underneath.

But then it rains. And shit gets on your cover. And you take your cover off and your car looks like it needs 15 baths (mind you mine is SWP) and you regret ever paying over $100 for a OEM cover that doesn't do anything to protect your car out.

Word to the wise...don't buy an OEM cover.
