Wow, lame. Better take the Yaris to and from work on the 4th, I'm guessing a lot of buzzed/drunk drivers on the road per usual on holidays.

I do too, just that I'm too "new" to have any vacation. Most folks here at work are taking today and Monday off.

Ewwww, no regular time off AND having to work on a holiday? Do you at least get paid double time?

Does the Bend Ale Trail count as work?

Edit: LOL, from the article, this is accurate description of my coilovers as well: "Even in its most comfortable setting, the V90 R-Design was rock-stiff and reacted to road imperfections with sudden, undesirable jolts sent through its chassis."

me.

Everybody on my team will be off pretty much though..

Might do a half day from home. Maybe do a drive in the morning and then work the rest of the day? Hmm.

I'd only drive the FR-S on Sundays anyway. But yes, lots of crazy drivers on holidays.

Working out of San Jose instead of SF today. So I actually got to drive to work (15 min commute one-way vs. 2 hours on bus/train!!).

So, that also means I get to take a picture of my car from the building

It's a bit hard to see, but in the left side row of cars a ways back.

My teammate with an turquoise-colored M2 parked next to it:

Double time!? I don't even get paid extra in any form unless I sell a car.

Same boat! Too "new" to have any vacation.

Oh that's right, bummer... That's why I never want to work in sales.

This randomly came up in a playlist yesterday. Another good song for driving IMO:

Just randomly happened to come across an old Speedhunters FR-S road trip article from 2012. Check it out: http://www.speedhunters.com/2012/06/frs-dream-drive/

"The stock motor has plenty of power for a daily driver and it had a very nice tone to it"
