The Official Blog from GD to GE to GK to GTI to R?
Heheh... That's a matter of reference and a relative term bud... But if you're good with it, then it's all good. Just don't run into me (other drivers) 
while fiddling with your gadgets.

hey subie, in your neck of the woods, i read on cnn this am that it is now illegal to even touch your smartphone running nav (california's new law)? yikes. are you even allowed to sneeze in your car? that can cause an accident too. lol
in other news, i saw a GE this am driving in the rain and noticed it did not have the cool wiper delay circuit activaed like how i did mine last Fall.
i think im going to install my 3100DVD in my '09 GE since i have an extra set of harnesses and bypass switch.

It's a great mod! Love mine too...
Sneezing allowed only on the rt. lane and both hands on the wheel... Don't know about the smartphone/nav issue but makes sense that it's along the lines of the hands free cell phone use...
Amazing how people interpret, bend and claim ignorance over this. Some put the phones on speaker mode but still holding the dang thing...
Or trap it on one shoulder with their heads leaning on it... 
Implementation is a joke... until you're hit/or hurt by one of them then sorry is too late. 
So irritating aside from being a hazard to others. One of my peeves if you can't tell.

yah, it was a pita to do, but definitely worth it. Sneezing allowed only on the rt. lane and both hands on the wheel... Don't know about the smartphone/nav issue but makes sense that it's along the lines of the hands free cell phone use...

One of my peeves if you can't tell. @ sneezing in right lane.yah, i remember the good ol' times when we lined up at gas station payphones to call our gf's.
for me the trick was, call gf, then ask her to call back the payphone. i get my quarter back,
she doesnt pay much of anything cause it's a local call.

gonna do my final lugnut torque check tonight on my '12's summers, and should be good for now.
it's been slightly backing out probably because i put a good layer of polymer sealant on both the wheels and lugs before storage last Fall.
kinda slippery. i was going to wipe it down with some RC car motor spray in the lug bores, but decided not to as we still have some areas where salt had not washed off.
hope you all are having a nice wednesday!

meh, had flurries this am and temps are kinda low... no wash today.
i only have a couple of hours in the am hours to do my car things so i missed my opportunity. maybe tomorrow i might just wash the wheels/tires and dress them up.
just doing the wheels/tires can make the car look pretty good when no time to wash.

wow, can't believe it's been 3days since my last post already. time flys.
im contemplating if i want to get the factory sport pedal set or just keep buying those rubber pedal covers for the clutch/brake. i wear them out pretty quick.
this weekend im going to vac my '12 and swap out the floor mats to carpet. i hate rubber all season mats.

so im looking at my car with DRL turned on... ugly yellow color.
i want to swap to a whiter hue. and dont know which bulbs our cars use for DRL (highbeam)
... so i have to search.

I haven't used those particular PIAAs but we're running PIAA Intense White bulbs in my Fit and the Ridgeline here.
They produce a very crisp, white light with the bulb's rated at 4800k I believe. The part that sucks about them is I have shell out 50 bucks when a bulb blows on my Fit every year and 3 months.
I'm not sure how they would look or be affected by DRLs but I could get a picture for you if you would like to see them Ken.
