One year ago today (also on a Sunday, actually), I visited Autobarn Subaru of Countryside, expecting to just have a look at a Subaru BRZ Limited, and perhaps talk pricing with one of the sales representatives. What actually happened was that I completely fell in love with the pretty Series.Blue Edition BRZ sitting on the showroom floor, and decided then and there to take her home with me before someone else did. I'd never purchased [...]
Lunch Break = Photo Time! Chicago, IL
Was bored today, so I decided to explore the upper midwest to the tune of 350 miles. I found corn. Lots of corn. And also some amazing back roads! Made the best of a rainy day and took some photos that still turned out decently. Once again the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 delivers.

Since I'm transferring all of these posts from FT86Club over to this blog, I might as well combine some things. Here are all the photos I took in the month of March, and two that were taken by a friend of mine with a proper camera and not a cellphone (the last two). The lead image was taken on some cobblestone roads in Wilmette, IL. This photo was taken inside the parking deck at [...]
I have a new friend in the local club! Schaumburg, IL
Boy am I glad I got the front of the car coated in XPEL Ultimate. Yuck!
