They were awaiting their next victim in the dense fog.

Their intention was to create a panic braking situation for an approaching driver with the hope of seeing him spin and crash.

Exactly.

Why do you suppose she was watching you so closely?

She was the "lookout"; her job is to signal the SUV driver to "GO!" if the panicked victim skidding towards the SUV appears about to hit the girls' SUV. The SUV driver will abruptly accelerate forward to avoid any contact. Without contact there is little evidence that could subsequently be used against the teenagers engaged in this vicious criminal "game."


Sit with that for a while, my friends...

Got the mudflaps installed on the front... then got to the rear and realized I don't have the right tool to get in there (without removing the rear wheels)... hello Home Depot, I guess I will be stopping by you today!

I've never heard of this. Hopefully they get caught by the cops.

I just placed an order from SF and forgot about the mirrors. I'll have to wait until I have another $150 or so of things I need from them for the free shipping. How do you like them?

Also, do all US Limiteds have heated mirrors. Every car I've had that had heated mirrors had the little bacon in a box symbol on them, but the BRZ doesn't.

They're nice during the day, but with my window tint (which is not very dark) it is difficult to see anything in the mirrors at night.

Hahahaha! Sadly I think it was just a case of people in a car not thinking at all about what they were doing, since they were stopped on a straight with their running lights still on.

Thought for the Limiteds you have to just turn on the rear defroster and it automatically turns on the mirror defrosters.

Installed my MTEC springs, Perrin rear shifter bushing and Whiteline shift kit. Feels great! also the Perrin shorty antenna
