I heard it was suicide, according to the few articles I have read.

It was not just a single incident - I heard there were "discrepancies" for several of his marathons. One of the biggest conundrums involved a marathon where he set a world record for the 5k in his age group during a marathon. And a few other issues about where he jumped on to the course at odd moments captured on camera without a clear explanation. A few people were calling for him to submit some sort of run-record, such as Strava or MapMyRun, but he never did.

Installed a set of the Philips DRLs for poops and laughs. First pic, nothing on. Second, DRL (headlights off). Third, DRL dimmed (headlights on).

Picked up a set of Bilstein coilovers from @hondagk5. Took a few days to install because one of the front strut nuts was practically welded on to the spring cap (new top cap pieces took a day to come in). Rear shock top nuts were stripped and did not come off, so those were sliced off (another day). So three days for what amounts to three hours of work. Found a nail in one of my tires as well, so had to patch that.

I haven’t had a chance to set the front ride height. I like the rears at the height they are currently at (still room to go lower). But I like the ride so far.

Thank you!

I always seem to have too little time for the things I want to do, and too much time for the things I do not.

Thank you! Yes, they are the sport wheels from the GK.

It was not my intention to go all-black/dark with the Fit. I originally envisioned bronze or silver-finished wheels. I even kicked around the idea of white wheels. But these wheels were in such great shape at a great price that I could not pass them up.

I raised the front of the Fit 0.5" tonight. Not enough light for pictures, but the Fit looks better balanced (not leaning "forward" as much). Still too low for my Rhino ramps thought, so I will have to use the good ol' plank of wood trick.

I had a harder time finding Sport wheels from the GE than these.

To faux carbon or not. That is the question. Eh, $20, who cares.
