Found out that an acquaintance of mine who is a freelance auto writer in Canada will get an FR-S for the week next week. Looking forward to what she thinks of it. She said she did get to drive one around a block recently and said the clutch/shifter combo was really nice.

Decided I'm going to keep the big tires. Been looking into going offroading.

Nope, couldn't find a turbo in decent shape let alone in good ol red or black (only car colors I'll do besides silver). No EFI for that matter, it's a 22r with a Weber on it. Needs to be rebuilt I think. Burns rich. Probably won't pass emissions right now, so I'll probably be spending the next month working on that.

Once I get it running nice I'm going to slap some headers on it. It's got a pretty huge pipe on it already. I'll be doing more highway driving than offroading, so I'm going to focus on that for now.

Saw an Audi S5 convertible this morning. I'm not a big convertible fan, but it looked nice.

Is 535 for brake pads and rotors for my car a good price? I came all the way to Pasadena o a place called Independent because they had the highest ratings on Yelp.
