mmmmm.... Only because the car IS slow(er than an old Accord)!

I'll show myself out, thanks!

In other news, I put MPS3 225/45 up front last weekend, keeping the stock Prius bad boys at the back. Still didn't crash, so much more fun though!

London, Ontario – accident news flash


A line of traffic was following a sanding truck when a hot lava FR-S pulled out to pass. After passing the truck, the hot lava spun around in the road several times, but did not crash. Truck driver swerved to avoid hitting FR-S and slid into ditch. Truck driver reports that hot lava driver was texting on an internet forum.

Drove my BRZ across town in that same snow storm. Did not crash, did not text!

I did have to spend an hour snow blowing the driveway before I could park, though.

I did not drive mine today. Thursdays and Fridays are my wife's FRS days. I get to drive the Soul. Gives my knee a break from the clutch and gives me a break in traffic, keeps the high miles off and gives my wife the clutch time she loves WIN WIN and WIN!

Yep, how did we ever get anywhere in the wintertime, with big ol heavy cars, with 60% of the weight in the front, with rear wheel drive, open differential, and bias ply tires .........??

I reckon we knew how to drive ........

You mean the ones with no traction control, power steering, unpowered drum brakes and vacuum powered wipers that 14 year olds to 90 year olds drove around in everyday and in all weather?


Oh and again piles of snow and still no crash for me.
