    Summer on Woodward Ave

    Well since I'm living in Michigan for the next few months, I'll be hitting up Woodward Ave probably one night each weekend.

    Well earlier this week I picked up my new daily. The cost of parts for the gvr4 keeps rising and it's just not practical to drive that much and put wear on it. So this week I had someone take a look at a forester for me(I'm at my college and it was chicago area) and pulled the trigger to buy...
