Also was an excuse to cut some fresh lumber to set on. 2/4x6's w/4x4 in center....rear tires take up about the whole 15"

Had everything to do it, just didn't have the gonads to follow through. Had a fitted car cover this year and in two wind storms blew the cover off except it stayed on because of the mirror pockets. With it flappin' in the wind some scuff marks appeared, last weekend worked on the spoiler and came out nice, figured tonight I would work on my 3 year old VIS AMS hood. Took about 3 hours, car is sitting inside because I put a sealer on it. For 3 years old (hood), me thinks it looks pretty good, each night I'll do a panel or 2 until I'm done or it kills me.

Here are the results.

Cleaned the throttle bodies and air filters. For some reason one throttle body was much dirtier than the other

Was it the driver bank that was dirtier? That's what I noticed when I cleaned mine last week. Some of the residue along the edge of the butterfly valve was virtually impossible to remove, even after repeated application of throttle body cleaner.

Actually driver side was pretty clean. Passenger side was blacker than my soul

Got my alignment done finally. Hooks if I want it to and will break loose if I want it to. I'm liking these Nittos so far.

Awesome feeling too when I bring the 370 to a shop like that where they have GT-R's and other cars like that on a daily basis and they all tell me that it's one of the nicest cars they've seen in a while

I had been to the dearlership with 'service engine soon' light up. They said something got inside to air-pressure sensors by accident, and cleared it so now no problem.
