A "fire drill" of sorts. Shimmied and scooched it inbetween the bays while we worked on a customers F87 M2 Comp to avoid potential hail (which there was nothing but rain ?). That was a fun "oh shit" moment.

Made a faraday cage to store all of our vehicle key fobs. Simple yet very effective:
  1. Fido glass 0.5L hermetic jar (gasket removed);
  2. Two layers of heavy duty aluminum foil applied to the inside and outside; and
  3. Reflect-A Gold tape applied to the inside and outside to keep the aluminum foil layers in place and more obviously to keep temps in check.

Took a nice drive down the coast and hit a park on the way home. Another beautiful day in the FL5 . Looking forward to the Spoon Springs to arrive .

Drove to work and then drove home, my only problem is I didn't want to stop driving. So my drive home took 2 hours instead of 15 mins.
I concur with this statement

I know the feeling! I have a 40 minute commute and it’s mostly back roads. I love it. Unfortunately, my favorite part is in such bad shape now that I have to circumvent it.

I’ll do the same thing ?? I’ll go for a quick drive and end up miles down the coast in the wrong direction lol. These FL5’s are special cars no doubt.
I’m actually getting ready for just a quick drive now ?

Ordered OEM tires, $300 less than than standard ones off TireRack. I've got 12,500miles and 1 track day on them and the fronts are chunked on the outside edges and just about to hit the wear bars. I've got ~2mm left on the rears.

Part # 42751-MIC-174

I ended up getting them through Norm Reeves Honda.

*background music is a tad loud, sorry about that. 12:35 to skip to sound clips if you're only interested in that.
