For $1200 I wouldn't have done it, but I paid $850 OTD for it. Still a bit much, but overall I'm happy!

Washed her even though I knew it was going to rain, then, with my dad's help, stole the garage from my mom. Her SUV is now out in the rain, and my baby is safe in the garage.

i have a friend with bags on his truck and it's "cool". however the ride quality sucked imo. that may have just been his particular choice of manufaturer as i've heard that ride quality is great from them in comparison to some co applications. that being said... don't know if i would trust air ride on a performance car. then again, i don't understand the technical aspects of them so take my opinion on them with a grain of salt as far as tires go im leaning towards 615k's, direzza z1/II's, or hankook rs3's |

I weighed the 2013 fr-s automatic again. At the same scale with only the spare tire removed and 1/8 tank of gas it weighed 2720. I was quite satisfied with these results! This was great news for me. As I plan to install the Kosei k4r 17x7 and re-use the stock tires. The rims will save 24 lbs. When it comes time to replace the battery I will. I expect another 20 from this. This car is lightweight, yet feels firm and precise. Toyota and Subaru did a great job.

Wash, wax, vac. Parov Stellar on the Victrola, sunshine, blue sky, sunshine. Drive.
I guess driving may not count as something you "do" to your FR-S, it's something you do "with". Regardless, how many of you actually drive the damn thing? |

Scraped the edge of the rear spoiler backing into garage. Sigh. I gathered touch-up paint recommendations here and ordered 37J and clear coat. Glad to have the resources in this forum.

I washed, waxed, and vacuumed my car today. Came out great. Then, as I'm walking into the house, it started raining.

At least you did all 3. It's been so unpredictably rainy here for the past 4 weeks that it seems useless to do it. I had to give it a quick wash about a week ago though. the dirt and road grime was really bothering me.
