Beautiful weather but...

my car was suffering from some serious heat soak earlier. It felt like I was driving a 2.5i.

If you have one!

This tempts me again to modify my window washing sprayers so they spray on the intercooler and not the windshield. And obviously changed out the washer fluid with water.

My car is completely stock with a stage 1 flash. I know I don't own the fastest car, but it felt like I wasn't going anywhere yesterday.

It was hot enough that the glue holding the rear view mirror melted and it dropped off the windshield. The mirror was so hot I couldn't pick it up until it had sat in the shade for a few minutes.
