Cagalli Yula (Subaru BRZ), First Oil Change

So really minor here.
First oil change at 970 miles.
Used Royal Purple 0W30.
Dealership price was quite reasonable.
And that is all, and this post is rather lame.

Actually, on the bright side I found a center lift point up front where I can place my hydraulic jack for future maintenance, there's a nice cross member just forward of the engine.
For the rear the maintenance guys said the rear differential is best.
So, I learned something useful.

Ceras Victoria (Honda Prelude), Salvage (Part I)

Now that I have Cagalli Yula [2014 Subaru BRZ Limited] as my daily driver I am now in the process of salvaging parts from Ceras Victoria [1994 Honda Prelude Si] for use on Nausicaa [1993 Honda Prelude VTEC] which is my project car.

Cagalli Yula (Subaru BRZ), One Week Review

I've owned Cagalli Yula [2014 Subaru BRZ Limited] for one week now.

After driving her for a day I took her on a trip back to Chicago through a blizzard. She's a bit messy, I do not seem to have any coin washes in the area, but I do have one car wash with great reviews nearby, so, hopefully she'll be clean by Sunday.

In terms of driving experience, at first she was very very stiff and bumpy. Now, either I've gotten used to it or she's loosened up some.

Steering wise she is very responsive, you feel everything. I compare driving her and the feel you get as the difference between sneakers and Vibram FiveFingers on your feet. We've had some snow and ice and I have no complaints so far. The Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires are doing their job.

More Test Drives of the Subaru Product Line

While I was at the dealership to get Cagalli Yula's auto-dimming mirror installed I test drove a 2013 Subaru WRX STi.

First, about the mirror, it's nice, and useful. Mainly I got it because I liked the mirror's on my great aunt's Audi A4 (the rear-view and side-view mirrors were all auto dimming). The thing I like most about this is unlike the normal mirrors you do not lose everything except headlights from your view.

North American International Auto Show 2014

My coworkers and I went to the North American International Auto Show at the Cobo Center in Detroit. Tickets were compliments of the dealership where I bought Cagalli Yula.
And there are pictures, lots of pictures.

Rather than label them myself I think I'll just post them, maybe number them, and let people name the cars in the comments if they like.

Cagalli Yula (Subaru BRZ), New Car

My fiance and I put a down payment on a new car.
New car is named Cagalli Yula and is a 2014 Subaru BRZ Limited.
Also, I had a new set of tires put on because I'm living in Michigan and need tires that can handle snow, so out with the Michelin Primacy HP that were equipped and in with Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires.

Anyway, here are some pictures...
