Weeks after I took delivery (and many phone calls/texts and emails) I finally got all the books. However, by then I had found the hidden key and the trunk lock.

Got my groundhog out of its lair yesterday afternoon.

With the unusual great weather forecast till April we finally
have some above freezing daytime highs.

Could not wait any longer, so it got kicked out of its hibernation.
Had a depressing panic moment when I found out my insurance
agent was off for the week.

Only big concerns to take care of were 25lbs or so tire pressure
left all around and battery levels looked lower than the end of
November. Hopped in, started with no hesitations or prep as
expected and off for a short 20 minute drive to warm things

up a bit.

Still lots of snow on the ground here, Any long drives will need
some cleanup time to get the muddy runoff removed afterwards.

I may be going somewhat over budget in my gas usage in the
next few days...

Installed a Toyota 86 GR front lip that I got last summer. Other than minor gaps, it looks great.



And my friend got himself a BRZ after driving mine

Haha I wrapped the side mirrors to throw some color on it and see how well wrapping holds up. Plus I've never wrapped anything so I figured to acquire a new skill. I'm planning to change it to black or go back to silver.
