TheGreatOne · 09-12-2012, 09:17 PM

Got a $158 exhaust ticket on my way home...

kinda my fault flooring it on a really quiet street..however ticket is vague and cop couldn't explain what he cited me for except that its modified (might have been a language thing, french cop)

I may contest....

Oh and my clutch pedal is starting to stick to the floor more...I believe I'm getting that CSC failure thing

Plasti-dipped my fangs. I like it, car looks a lot meaner. It's subtle on PG. Looks almost factory. But god do I hate masking.

I changed my clutch fluid and it was burnt looking at less than 13K. Maybe this will help you?

I was leaning towards that too although it was serviced just last week and it should have been changed unless all they did was top it up.

About 3 times today I had to use my foot to "pull" the clutch off the floor.....not good!

Sounds like time for an upgrade... New CSC, and throw a new clutch in while you have things apart.

I just had one of the all time best drives home today.

As I left the office, I turned off the VDC, thinking correctly as it turned out, that I might need to muscle my way into traffic, when a small gap emerged. Within a half mile no more cars remained in front of me. About a dozen were there but they all just turned off.

After a couple hundred yards, I spotted and passed a Prius on the freshly paved and still unstriped road. The next car I encountered pulled over before he slowed me down. Encountered a very minor slow down, a C63 doing 55 in a 40 zone. I got to pass him in an exciting way. He got in the left turn lane that goes downhill, while I zipped by him and turned left uphill. The excitement came, as it often does, by the Merc realizing he is in the wrong lane and goes left and uphill too. I was ready for it, by being past him.

Blazed home without any more cars or bikes. I so wish I'd had my camera.
Five miles of curves in about six minutes. I am so happy.

I hope you all have had a great day too.

nothing like a great drive home!
I think i had the complete opposite experience on my drive home...almost seemed rehearsed..."ok im dropping out at next intersection, i'll slow her down so you can get out in front...ok?! Execute". Lol!
