Kevin's BRZ

Just drove my BRZ home!

I requested no detail and just rinsed it with water at home. Looks awesome!

Nice going on letting the dealer know of the cautions and what you didn't want to have done by them... I respect that.

Congrats!

I heard about dealers giving people lower grade gas; so I made sure to get the good stuff and pumped it myself.

I was reading up on the market recently and noticed this tidbit:

"We forecast a US corn yield of 126 bu/ac and US corn production of 10,750 million bushels. As a result, we believe that ethanol demand destruction is necessary and our corn price forecast is based on the price of corn that pushes the cost of producing ethanol above the price of RBOB gasoline blendstock. Given our forecast for higher oil prices, this puts our 3-mo CBOT corn price forecast at $9.00/bu."

Looks like we'll soon not have to worry about ethanol in our fuel.

Just bought a bunch of car cleaning stuff off Amazon, including quick detailer, microfiber cleaning mitt, and car wash soap.

Another picture in the garage. Not many daytime photos since work is really taking up a lot of time right now.
