Pictures from yesterday afternoon. Posted in the chat thread, but here anyway, just because.
I'm a few months away from the 5 year mark, which is kind of a big deal, because I took out a five-year loan when buying the car.

Two new Michelin X-Ice Snow Tires, waiting to get mounted next month. Winter is coming.

Before last winter, I had LatheWerks.com cut me another teardrop shift ****, in black Copolymer. I used it over winter, because the Copolymer material simply doesn't get cold to the touch. Unlike my titanium ****, which gets so brutally cold that it's unusable when temps get near freezing. But when below freezing... forget about it!
Anyway, it's winter again. Time for my Winter ****.
If you're wondering what that little amber strip is between the **** and the boot ring... turns out this **** doesn't share the identical depth of the titanium one. So when fully screwed down, there was a little gap. That allowed the boot ring to rattle like crazy. This is a new problem, owing to the STS that was installed this year, and the custom stand-off extension.
So I looked around the junk drawer, and found this rubber washer. Both its inner- and outer-diameter were a freakishly perfect fit. I know it looks odd, but it also looks interesting. And it works 100% for what it's intended.
You know what it is? It's one of those rubber washers you push inside a garden hose spray nozzle. Go figure. LOL

You could ask... and good luck with that. I've been after CARSMO to create a radiator overflow bin cap. Pretty sure he doesn't care, but won't just say "no".

Pop off one of the seat heater ***** and place it in his hand.
Assuming it simply pulls off with a little tug. I don't really know one way or the other.

Moonlight White is a 3-stage, pearlescent paint. It really pops under a super bright flood light, like this empty parking lot at the local grocery store.
No flash, just some quick pictures with the point-n-shoot.

Shorty Lugnuts and Duckfeet
It's over 60*F today, but supposed to snow all day Monday. So I figured today was the day to swap in my duckfeet and snowtires.
This winter, I'm using these half-height spline-drive lugnuts from Gorilla. They are so-o-o-o much better than the crappy little lugnuts that typically come with spacer adapters.
It's a perfect fit, right up to the final thread on the stud. Perfect.
