Generating even more looks - I returned to my car yesterday at a rest stop on the NJ Turnpike and had (literally) 10 people hovering around it.

I keep finding roundabouts in strange places - found one on my commute to work today.. Buccluech Park in New Brunswick NJ - nice low speed circle with one-ways approaching it. Went around it a couple of times - people must have thought I was crazy.

My engine seemed to be down on power over the weekend - it's better now. Wonder if I got a bad batch of gas.

Detailing it over the weekend - we found a giant (looked like a can of coke was dumped on it - a bit of McGuire's cleaner and wax took it out.

Seats still squeak. Has anyone gotten them replaced under warranty and had the squeaks fixed?

Finally, secret radio controls - holding the "music note" symbol, first thing that pops up is the LIN control - crank it up a few notches and PRESTO - where'd that subwoofer come from? :-)

That rocks! way to go! Factory stereo sounds so much better. Now only if someone could find out how to turn off the "cold start" problem.

thanks, Ed

Well it's only 3.5 hours from door to door. And I drive Mondays and return to VA on the wee hours of Saturday. I've put 7,500 miles on the WRX since March doing this crazy commute.

One thing missing in the car is a grab handle on the passenger side. Not much fun screeching around those roundabouts without one.

You mean the "HOLY SH*T" handle?
