Also going to have them put my new front rotors on and pads all around - was going to do this myself, but I don't have the tools, nor the time to do it.

Then I have to head out to the empty freeway at 2:00a and bed the brakes. Going to be nice to smooth braking again vs. the violent vibrations I'm getting now.

If you're paying someone to install the rotors and pads, they should bed the brakes for you...

He is. My point is that if you're paying someone to install new rotors and pads, they should be the ones to perform the bedding procedure. You shouldn't be picking up a car with new brake pads that aren't properly bedded.

That would require them to drive my car and do several 60-5mph runs, no? I don't approve of that.

Turns out they did bed them. Ah well, I trust the guy and what's done is done. Oh well. Means I can get more sleep tonight I guess?

Though I did get whiplash leaving the parking lot. Not used to them being so responsive! They look nice too.

She needs a good washin' though.

Came out to the Z to see my boss' MR S/T parked next to me. He knows I'm super OCD about cars near me, so he gave me some space. Love that MR color.

MAZOC meet, coffee and lunch. Then a drive around to places out in rural country to buy Christmas presents.

Filled the tank @ $3.03 per gallon.

Cleaned the windshield.

It's been a great day which will be followed by a great evening singing in our Christmas Cantata.

New shift knob.

Loved my PW:JDM aluminum v2, but it got too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. This TWM Specter knob is weighted and has a Delrin jacket to keep the temperature extremes in check.

Plus, I love the bigger size! The black finisher from Z1 Motorsports matches it very well and overall blends with the rest of the interior rather nicely.

Oh, and replaced the interior vinyl knee/side panels on the center console with the "alcantara" ones from the roadster models. Now they match the door panels too. Sweet.
