Anyone ever wave at/get waves from other JDM car drivers

Pulled up behind a 350z at red light for on ramp. The guy took off fast and I tried keeping up for a little bit. No racing and both drove at reasonable speeds as we got on the freeway.

He got off before me and as I passed we waved at eacother. Something similar happened once with an old modded civic.

Just curious if this is something that happens with others too. I think it's pretty cool

Buzzing felt through foot when releasing the clutch - part 2

I posted about this before but I've isolated how to replicate this issue. Many others have commented and posted about this too.

I've been feeling a grittiness/buzzing/vibrating feeling through my left foot when releasing the clutch, as it's coming through the bite point.

The isolation: I can feel the clutch buzzing when parked in neutral. If I rev the gas and push the clutch in and out at the same time (IN NEUTRAL), Then I feel it and it's feels stronger at higher rpm.

Do not feel anything if pushing the clutch in and out in neutral while at idle.

Any idea what this could be?

3500 miles 2025 WRX.

Clutch engagement vibration feedback (4000 miles)

At 4000 miles on a 2025 6MT, bought brand new 5 months ago. It's my daily. Fully stock.

I've been feeling very subtle gritty/vibrating through the clutch pedal when the clutch engages (releasing the clutch), around the bite point for the last 500 miles or so.

Its more noticeable after driving for a while, but also during revmatch down shifts (which are smooth, no lurching or bucking). Not as much on first drive of the day.

Not present at all when im neutral, no noise either. Car still drives and no slipping when accelerating in 3rd-6th at highway speeds.

Saw some posts saying this is normal, but also some that have me a little worried. People mention a glazed clutch, damaged flywheel or simply just drivetrain feedback.

Have probably had about half a dozen rough shifts (lurching,bucking) and two money shifts (no redline and car still drives fine 🙏) in the last 5 months of ownership. One instance of very brief gear grinding when I was first getting used to the car (learned to drive on stick, but my first time owning a stick shift)

I only slip the clutch when starting from a stop, going in reverse at low rpm, etc...

Probably gonna get downvoted, but just looking for some up to date info on this.

Edit - specify that the feeling is only through the clutch pedal. Nothing else is vibrating.

Pollen/Bee poop? Ruining my paint!

ISM. no PPF, no ceramic coat. Whatever it is I keep getting these annoying ass little yellow stains all over my paint!

I have to park outside (daily at work, months at a time overnight).

How do you get rid of this shit?!? Two bucket wash, ceramic speed shine, clay mitt. Rubbing alcohol.

Won't come out

Just moved from Buds2 pro to Buds4Pro.

I miss being able to tap and hold either of the buds 2 pro to raise and lower the volume progressively. Swiping to change the volume on the Buds 4 Pro is awkward and often leads to accidental pauses and partially removing the buds from an ideal fit (unless I swipe with surgical precision).

On top of that it was nice to just put a finger to the buds 2 pro to progressively change the volume until the desired volume.

Is there any way to achieve something similar on buds 4 pro?
