Oh yeah, now that it's dark out almost 24/7 I've had a chance to test the 2017+ headlights... they're really good. It's like I suddenly got better glasses, driving at night doesn't bother me as much as it did before.

What's the worst that could happen if you put it up? Eviction ? :doomed:

Your neighbors have some coming down from the house...

It would help to keep a lot of the crap off the car.
Worst that could happen is a wind gust takes it and causes damage/injury to someone. Those tents are tough to keep on the ground unless you dig holes and mount them properly in concrete.
Get cinder blocks and wrap some wire around the bottom of the carport. I mean it should be workable. It won't go anywhere, not like you're in oklahoma.

Yeah you don't need that bitch getting picked up and rolling over someone's vehicle and then being responsible for said damage.
I wouldn't know what it's like being on the other side of that

Should've got the TruCoat, :bruh:

Wait...

I thought you refused the :dillerman: drilling the front bumper.
Nah, I was surprised that he bothered to ask me first but I said to go ahead and :doit:

There are cops fucking everywhere around me and I'd rather be left alone than not have a front plate. Like driving 3 hours to pick up the car and back I saw 10-12 of them out collecting taxes... Breaking the law here is :fullretard:

I drove around with no plate on my Outback for a summer and got 5-6 tickets. Even got pulled over in the middle of the city where the cops 100% have something better to do but no they'll still pull you over. I ended up zip tying it to the bottom of the radiator opening in my bumper.

I did this exact same thing after my first warning. But I made it two years without that stupid thing drilled into my bumper.

My multi-millionaire former boss had one on his car too. It’s only bad if you tilt it like a vape bro

The plastic plate holder things drilled to the bumper act as supplemental bumpers though. Around me, cars that have them, although looking a tad off, have FAR fewer parking scars than cars without them.

:dat: X 1000000. There are some custom mounts that don't drill your bumper but the tow hook mounts are stupid looking.

The other reason I really don't care about this shit is that the 86 front end is by far the ugliest of the FR-S, early BRZ, late BRZ, and 86 cars. Toyota dun fucked up. The 17+ BRZ looks waaaaaay better. With the big ass front plate it's a lot less noticeable :doe:

:whocares:

Continental snow tarz were ordered today, gonna get them mounted on Thursday and have the stock Prius tarz moved to my :fancy: SSR :ramz: for next June. I wimped out and got the ice tires instead of the performance winters, hopefully they are tolerable in the dry/wet conditions they'll see 95+% of the time.
