You may as well park your FR-S/BRZ if you are lowered and/or on stock tires
I saw a few "normal" cars getting stuck just driving down the unplowed street behind the building at work tonight - a Jetta and a Matrix. A Sienna backed up and went around the building - the parking lot has at least been plowed...
Safe driving out there tonight!

Wow, just got home a short while ago. That was not fun in the FRS.

Got stuck just getting out of my parking lot about 5 times (get stuck, shovel, drive 5 feet, get stuck again).
Once on the main roads it was better but still easy to get stuck.

Hope you guys fared well also.

Think I'm driving in with the wife tomorrow....

yeah this was the worst driving so far this winter...
the plow guys at work decided it was a good idea to clear the aisles, thus blocking everyone in with huge ridges of snow. it was up above my headlights in places.
took me 15-20min to get out. get home and take an hour to clear the driveway.
and now the city plow just went by....

car worked great until I got home, then got stuck in the laneway. Missed it by that much. 1:45 minutes to get home tonight. Normally 25 minutes

LOL, been there a few times so far this year. Haven't needed a shovel yet though. Guess I've been lucky...

Congrats!!! Love the colour. Looks like you have a lot of parts to install. I would be interested in your before/after part installation impressions.

Looks great Ken, ours now seem old and dull in comparison. Glad you finally got your hands on it.

Mod time!!!

Well, there won't be a before... just 50% before.
I have all the Cusco upper pieces and Takeda intake and TSW's to install, then off to a friend's place with a lift, then comes the D2's, EVO3, and lower Cusco bits.
The car had 22km when it arrived at dealership, 24 sitting in my garage.
Not going anywhere but the laneway until the snow and salt is gone.

Seeing the stock rims in person and up close, I have a new respect for them - I thought they were a bit foofy in pics (no offense) - but they are substantial-looking and nicely-finished up close. THey are still going off into storage though 24km would be considered mint I think....

I will document the build-up with many photos and a vid/audio of the EVO3 when its on.

I sit in it and use the Bluetooth to make cell calls form the garage...

Cheers,
Ken

Awesome and all those nice bits to install too! At least you will have something to do with your car until spring - otherwise it will be a long wait to drive it.
