I pulled Harry out of the garage with a bit of a vroom...and away we went, to work, in the fog, with critters scurrying out the way of his awesomeness...sigh. I love Harry!

Got stuck behind a semi on the way home from work this morning. That wouldn't be bad if the road construction crews didn't feel the need to leave huge puddles of muddy water on the lanes not even being worked on. I guess it's an excuse to wash and throw on a coat of Collinite 476s wax.

What nut did you round off doing springs? Just curious.

The nut holding the lower strut in place, it was torqued on way over spec, passenger side

That's normal. I had to use a 24" breaker bar with a 4' pole attached to it. :ugh2:

I had two miles of road alone time. Nailed each apex and opened up my arms for a smile out of each.

How could I be having $20K-$60K more fun with another car? :D

not ten minutes after I have my new wheels on a fking **** head w/ Florida plates in a 3.5 Altima tries to cut me off instead of waiting in line when there is only 2 feet of room between my car and the one in front of me. i honk at him and don't let him over. 10 seconds later he does it again but swerves into my lane, literally would have hit me if i didn't brake. no signal, no nothing.

i get stuck at a light but see him a few minutes later as he's turning left. i down shift and blast by with the finger.
