got another recaro vivo kid's booster seat. this one's for the G but just in case my kid's super good, he can ride a long in the Z. hahaha.

 

for some reason my FitS was super slow this am... air wasn't hot at all, just a bit humid.

i might need to trade up to something with a tad more power...

 

After getting some serious stormage yesterday my FitS is clean but needs wheels washed. Rain needs to do a better job next time with some CarWash and boar's hair brush by Griot'sGarage. . Hahaha

Motored my G today after taking my son to school in my FitS. . Hope to motor my Z tomorrow... weather permitting...rest of the day I plan to relax on my throne for Father's Day, quite literally in my music room. Hahaha

Happy Father's Day to you fathers out there!

 

So much garbage we need to drive through in the am. Idiots on phones, super slow drivers in the left lane, etc.

I kinda cracked up when a saturn driver blew his horn at me while going through a 4way stop intersection. I was clearly there first yet he was in a rush to go first.

The irony is, agressive people do not drive saturns... Only those who missed out on opportunities in life who ended up in those cars. .

 

Maybe late for his job at the Stop-N-Go?? But since America is the Land of Opportunity, he can still make something of himself, with effort and diligence.

 

yah, it could be his mom's car he was borrowing to get to work.

absolutely agree about Land of Opportunity!

its a good idea GM got rid of that brand... iconic for dull or doh, not good for the driver's psychology. even hyundai's and kia's are looking more and more like real cars these days. in fact, i was looking at a new benz large sedan when i thought i was looking at their genesis sedan. kinda impressed benz was copying off hyundai's.

 

got some gas for the FitS today. oh, and my car is now 20K young.

 

drove my FitS through rain this am... another day with garbage on the road. this one was driving a late model suv super slow because it was raining...but in the LEFT lane....but it wasn't raining hard. everyone was annoyed. blowing his horn at everyone cutting him off. was actually comical and funny watching.

one recommendation for you folks who suck at driving... before you get shot or something from road rage, if you can't drive in the rain drive during the geezer hour (9am to 11am), call in sick cause no one needs a loser at work anyway, watch weather channel so you drive BEFORE rain, or just drive in the right lane and let others pass your slow arse. hahaha

 

Took the GE for a 400 mile road trip. Man I hate the AT on the car. Very sloppy and barely any sense of connection between the throttle and drivetrain. Also the donky paddles are crap as it turns with the steering wheel.

But the wife says the car is great and loves it... Okay then. Hahahaha

 

Picking up some chinese in my FitS MT. Definitely much better and how the car should be.

 

washed my cars today. looks great. Hydro'ed as well.

 

was nice driving my FitS to work this am since it was finally CLEAN.

but there's this one stupid bird that keeps landing on my passenger side window sill and mirror
while parked on my driveway. i need a way to kill it. any recommendations?

as you all know my saying... non-edible birds need to be removed from the planet.

 

agreed haha

as for a tip

non-lethal, but put an owl statue near your car; they supposedly scare other birds away, plus they're only a few bucks!

 

ahh! thanks for the info. i'll check out my local hardware store. i might just go cheap and print a big owl face and place it inside the car. lol

 

there was this one crazy woman driver this am in a FX. she was going at least 30-40mph over the speed limit in the 30mph zone. not sure what the hell her problem was but she nearly hit my car and a few others while cutting us all off just to get maybe 3-4 cars ahead of us. wtf

sorta wished she would've hit my passenger-side fender cause it needs to be replaced.

 

worked on some cut and paste yesterday on my Z.

i have more 3M di noc CF sheets coming to me later on which is a more realistic looking CF
than this sheet i had. but i needed glossy finish and the di noc is matte so oh well..





boring trim...

CF trim... :grin:

 

my 3M sheet came in so made below.




didn't have to remove and wrapped around the sides.

door jam side:


window side:


ofcourse we need CF door trims as well... i have real CF overlays coming to me
next week but oh well..

took me some time to get it just right...

 

and the real CF rear diffuser...

was:


now: :razz:

 

more CF goodness i did today.

BEFORE: (cubby door is open in this pict)





AFTER:

 

also re-did the steering wheel trim with the same CF sheet and new triangle door trim piece.

making the templates takes quite a bit of effort... but well worth it at the end.


top triangle trim on the door by the handle...



and steering wheel trim (volume up/down button piece)...
