I washed it this morning so that it would be nice and clean for my birthday tomorrow. Might go for a drive up to SF or just go out to eat. I might go to a local shop called Vex motorsport and see what exhausts they have. Maybe a little bday present for me and the car. She turned 3 on June 18th

LOL, good man! My first choice was blue but at the time it was so rare to find one in MT so I went BOM.

Happy Bday to you too, I'll be 31 nothing exciting. Just happy to be enjoying life, family and cars. Cheers!

0W20 has been around for quite sometime, but given most Honda's and Acura's now use it, we've slowly started stocking it. I decided to give the Synthetic 0W20 a test run, as I've heard of it's many benefits concerning emissions and gas mileage. Needless to say, I'm impressed thus far.

I hear 'ya! Well I figured you'd have a Craftsman or Snap On upholstered captain's chair in the corner where you can reach the cooler on the floor and the 8-track player on the shelf with Lynard Skynard's Freebird playing...

LMAO!!! Well who would have thought... That was just a SWAG but sure looks picture perfect. Let's see... looks like a Marantz receiver, maybe a Pioneer or Sansui 8-track player and a Technics turntable...

Very nice, very clean lines (setup). Karate Kid must be your favorite movie (wax on wax off). Black is really hard to keep clean.

JCrim you get serious respect from me for having the balls to go that hardcore in your DD man. Where do you rest your elbow when you are driving to work man? I would be covered in bruises driving that bad boy....

Haha thanks man. And about the arm rest, as nerdy as this is going to sound, the only reason either of my hands leave the wheel is the right to shift for just a second. Feels weird resting my elbows.. But on long trips I have before, just rest on the cage if needed haha.

Now the funny part is instructing people how to get in and out. It's not that bad at all to me. Guess they just get a little intimidated .. It's easy. My gf would be an awesome fire pole escape artist by now. Same thing with "how to use 6 point and camlock." when I take her to the track and she ops to ride with other racers, they instantly reach over and assist her with getting in and strapping down, but she surprises the hell out of them haha. Then they ask, "so what does you bf drive then?" lol her "*in her little Asian voice "^__^ he drives a Honda fit ^__^" lol hahaha

Well, I did drive my car today and I've got admit that the bars I put in the hatch made a very profound improvement in by making the rear of the car much stiffer than I expected and my steering wheel now points straight when I am going straight.. I had no idea that there is that much flex in that car..I have 3 more pieces to install and then a few more to order if KMR can't get what I need in.. Instead og getting a rear bumper bar I'll get a receiver hitch instead.. I think I do better work if I have an endless supply of alcohol to wet down my brain so all of the circuits are making good contact .

TC, let me know the next time you are in tyler. I want to drive your SC fit again and I also want to compare rigidness. You can drive mine too and make her dog piss haah.

also, I changed my oil yesterday to mobil 1 5w30. While I was at ricerboys (pepboys) I noticed they had mobil 1 5w20 on sale.. was like 24 dollars for 5 quarts. walmart has it for 25 all day long but I do get a military discount of 10% off so this would be a great excuse for you to come ^_^ and you could meet my gf and see the new casa might feed you too. haha
