I never cheated and still don't cheat it seems, as it's hard to even do on LA streets unless I put it in DS or full manual mode I suppose.

I'm curious why you decided to wait until after the break in period though to then put on the michelins? Oh, it's so much better with them on. The car handles and drives the way car was intended to without feeling like you're driving on concrete squares. I'll be curious to hear your thoughts afterwards.

Actually, my normal garage is much better as that other one in that picture is just at my local Trader Joe's parking lot, but is nice to drive around in there with my windows down and making it burble. <fights back tear> That's where I heard my very first burble, learning how to do it by taking foot off the gas.
