You could have a little fun by doing some research:

and then make it a road trip to a state with more liberal laws just to get your windows tinted. Or, you could stay in MN and try to claim a medical exemption.

There are certain shops in MN that tint darker. I got mine done 35% last week.

I'll be at the Chanhassen McDonald's at 7:15 this morning if anyone wants to meet. Looks like the rain will hold off until afternoon, but it is a bit nippy out there.

I'm heading out for C&C shortly.

Good seeing you guys today. Sorry I couldn't stick around longer. This cold is kicking my ass.

Man, I hate having to work so many weekends. I hope we can all get together soon! I still have yet to make it to a C&C event...

But I like always being the only Gray! I get so much attention!

I'm terrible about minding forums but I too am registered. Rolling out from NE Mpls around 6:30. I've got the white primo everybody thinks is a limited, I just had to have the wing. See you there!

Just checked all my fluids to make sure they're topped off. Made sure tire pressure is at 35 psi. Verified lug nuts are at 89 ft/lbs and engine oil is between the two notches on the dipstick.

I did the same, was going to wash and wax today too . . . going with "natural rinse" instead. I'm very excited!

Alright, if you own one of these I can now officially say you have no clue how awesome this car really is until you put it on the track. PDX at DCTC today was was worth every penny! I suppose if I'm entirely honest, there isn't quite enough room out there to really find the edges of what the car is capable of but I did manage to get the tires complaining around many of the corners. I am now certain that I will be taking the BRZ up to BIR for at least one of the proving grounds events. It will be great to see what 4th gear is like.

I will say ayau has the right program going with a set of track tires. After the third session I can definitely see that the Michelins are not really going to tolerate much 'spirited driving.' I will also say it was great to see him on the track with that blue beauty of his! I rather wish we'd been in the same group. I suppose I should have rolled out for one of the open sessions and followed him around but I'm dog tired. Next time for sure!
