I told my GF I was thinking about adding some kind of M-tricolor accent (probably the stripes from the UK-only F20 BTCC Championship Edition) and she called me a Ricer for the rest of the day.

Haha yea, she may have a point. And here I am literally over on the track sub-forum contradicting myself talking about keeping the car as subtle looking as possible. So yeah, moving on from the livery stage... those stripes tho..

My dealer's SA, a woman who ice-raced in Alaska before moving down to the Lower 48 (i.e., she's a car girl/woman), suggested politely that the yellow M Performance Brake Kit calipers would have been a better look for my Estoril Blue car than the orange calipers I chose. She had a point, and while I didn't disagree, I did question the color when viewed online, which was the only view I had available to me at the time. Her not being my wife or gf, it was a good exchange. My preference is for the SO who has only one comment, over and over again: "It costs HOW MUCH!?!" In this household, you might think that after a few decades a different tune would be playing, but...nooooooooo.

I'm gonna do the LSD and subframe bushings first. All my dumb ricer stuff is far from top of the priority list.

I was doing fine until you went there. I mean, seriously!
Funny (sort-of) story...until just a few years ago, I'd been living in Southern NH for a couple of decades and traveled to VT quite a bit. Prius' were thick on the ground in VT, and I swear this is true: the only cars I ever saw pulled over for speeding were Priuses. That was a coincidence, of course, but I found it hilarious every time I witnessed it, thinking that there was indeed justice in the universe. It was no wonder, as the typical Prius I saw was banging 80+ in the left-hand lane, and the troopers were waiting in all the usual spots. It was like the Prius drivers were clueless as to how the don't-get-a-ticket game worked. In my book, that combination is #1 on the short-list.
