Well boys and girls, I have a bit of a personal dilemma (couple of them really) and I'd like to ask for a bit of advice. I've been in the military for a few years now and am yet again gearing up for another extended "get-away", but this is the first with a performance oriented car in the driveway. With that, I was also advanced last year and at this pay grade, I have to wait an entire year to see the money (all the responsibility without the pay, it's awesome...) and I've been itching to finish my exhaust or something before I head out. Problem here is that I would probably have a sit down with one of my guys if they pulled some bone head move like that so I've been trying to talk myself out of it. Read something recently that Toomes commented on in his journal I think though about only car people really understanding the connection and draw to mod, and that is what I'm fighting right now.
Anyhoo. On with the first question, what should I be thinking about in terms of the STi in getting ready to head out the door. I will probably be able to have the car moved at least once per week/2 weeks so that should be good. Wife doesn't drive manual, so I'll have a buddie come do it for me. Should I look at maybe a tune-up before or after I get home? She'll be sitting a good portion of the winter with the occasional start-up and trip around the block before being parked (outside) again. There will be a lot of things I'll be discussing on here throughout my trip I'm sure, but trying to get prepped for heading out.
