Did you guys just get snow today?

Nope. It's 41°F right now, and sunny.

I'm sure in two more weeks Spring will begin. About freaking time, too.

Sounds about right, we have over a foot of snow forecasted over the next week... along with rain and freezing rain. Hopefully it’s winters last push.

So hard to find the right lighting. All three pieces actually do match, is what I'm saying.

No more vinyl.



And here's focus on the parking brake boot. I think the seam could have been more neatly designed so it doesn't bunch up, and the front should be a little longer. But overall, it's not bad.

Never realized the 6mt armrest was so far back till seeing the pictures just now. Even after driving a few of them just in the past month lol...

It really is. That's why I keep saying it's just not that noticeable. Honest, you never really see the armrest cover unless you make a point to do so. The 7AT armrest, however... that's clearly in the field of vision. With your black interior, it would look so upscale in newly padded leather.

Go for it. You know you're itching to find a way to mod the car under $200.

My black interior eh? lol.

I think I already have all my upgrade money planned out for the year. New tires, aluminum engine undertray, motordyne plenum, uprev tune. It adds up lol.

I have a nice chunk of leather and an untouched steering wheel sitting in front of me just staring at me. I need to finally get off my butt and make the custom wheel I've been drawing up.

Haha, look at that. Well, still, it would look pretty good, IMO.

That looks great

I’m sure the slight imperfections bother you, but it’s not something anyone would notice unless you pointed it out.

I like it

Three weeks ago, I put the Vossens and Continentals back on the car, and the weather went cold immediately thereafter. So it's been three weeks since I could drive it. Until today, when I just took the G out for half a dozen errands in about a 10 mile radius. All familiar roads, with a keen eye out for potholes.

Really, really appreciate having wide, high-performance rubber on the car. It's a game changer every Springtime. However, after a few hours of barnstorming around like an idiot, I just wanted to relax and cruise. Except the car isn't much of an around-the-town cruiser anymore. Highway, sure, that's fine. But around town... after a while, I get exhausted.

Trans mount starting to wear on ya? Or just the combination of everything.... this time of year is exhausting dodging potholes and frost heaves

It's a combination of everything. And age, I suppose. I'm 54 now. I think I'm still digging the transmission mount. But moments like this really make me question future mods like subframe collars, and poly motor mounts.

Still loving the short gears. Matched with summer rear tires, hook up is so much fun out of the hole.

made the appointment saturday to put on summers. Really hope boston weather holds up what its saying it'll be (but can never bet on that)

On my last (first) OCI for the wife's Subaru, the oil came out so fast, with a thick stream, it splashed all over my old drain pan, on to the floor, on to me. It was like watching an elephant go p1ss.

I use that same pan on all the oil changes. So I thought I'd try a different design. So let's see how this open model works. I also bought an oil splash pad that I fitted into the bottom. That might have been overkill but maybe not.
