I washed my car on Saturday
It immediately got dirty again because of the melting slushy ice mountains on the sides of the roads.

I expected the filth to return after a couple days..not after 10 minutes lol.

as i rounded a corner sideways in first and intentionally wobbled the back end side to side all through 2nd and into 3rd on the wet road, i marveled at the steering feel and the way i could tell what the car was doing and how it reacted to the inputs i was giving it, all the while in an effortless manner like the car wanted to be doing it all along, and i was just the orchestra director swinging a wand, acting like i had something to do with all the symmetry of all the instruments coming together in a perfect ballad.

yeah, i'm gonna keep this car around for a little while, even if it's just garage candy a lot of times.

I was about to asked whether you drank or sniffed something "funny".. I must get round to driving my BRZeeeeee. Not touched it for 3months...

have you seen the random thoughts thread lately? going through some personal changes, so just feeling wordy/appreciative of the things that are actually working out in my life. even if it's just taking a sports car out in the rain.

Took it on its first long interstate drive, discovered that the turbo makes cruise control pissy because it's always spooling if I'm over 70mph

EDIT: 29mpg!

Makes me think of the noise old Greyhound buses made as they went up or downhill. You could tell the grade was getting steeper as you heard that big turbo spool harder.
