Dang I haven't had any of those issues, well no major issues really at all. You sure the evap is glitching? On mine I just needed a new gas cap and it was all good. The seal had gone bad.

Possible. It was throwing codes before as well when I had another sensor issue and went away when I replaced the sensor. Could be the same this time. I'm going to try giving the diy fix a try with the fuel level sensor and go from there.
Finally washed after a few months...desperately needs a paint correction and wax
Same for me on Sunday. I haven't washed in over a month as it's been raining almost daily in IA and haven't waxed since late 2017 due to school and renovations tied to a move/relocation.
Clay bar and Mother's California Gold (buffer) - needs a paint correction, touch up paint, etc. which I want to do later this summer. I did polish the headlights which I need to do every 6 months or so.

Good for you!
I claybar and wax the headlight lenses (and tails) at least twice a year, and have been repeating that very simple process since I bought it back in 2012. To this day they look nearly brand new, clear and haze-free. It doesn't take much effort at all, and when you look back with years of hindsight it all makes sense.

(ps. That looks like a really nice cul-de-sac.)
Thanks!
Yes - it is pretty quick and much easier to stay up on them then to wait until you need to wet sand.
Shop said it’s just tire noise. I think I’m done trying to get rid of it. It definitely changes volume drastically when I go from a rough pavement to smooth. So it all makes sense. Didn’t even charge me for diagnosis time. I love not spending more on my “new” car, lol
I was trying to figure out the aesthetic on your car with the 5 spoke white wheels they reminded me of the 80's/90's F40/ 288 GTO wheels...now it all makes sense! ...
good choice on the yellowstuff pads they don't seem to get much love on the Gs but I've used EBC pads for most of the life of the G and have been impressed...Yellowstuff pads are definitely the sweet spot given the weight of the car

Haha thanks. Definitely liking the pads. I've used them on my IPL with great success.
Last night, I installed BBKs on the rears! First time doing these brakes, and it took way too long because of rust and a frozen caliper. What a pain to get off! Worst part was the previous installer stripped the old caliper ... spent an hour picking aluminium out of the threads of the mounting bolt so I wouldn't wreck the new caliper.
Looks good and stops even better... But not sure if I bled them correctly, there were still a few bubbles coming out after 45min at full vacuum (all the bleeders were like this). Pedal is stiff though... I'll be re-bleeding tonight if necessary.

45 minutes of bleeding is a crazy long time... should typically only take a few minutes per corner. If bled them for that long and you made certain to keep the master cylinder reservoir full of fluid while you where bleeding and if your pedal is firm and doesn't seem mushy then I'm sure you are fine.It's common for vacuum bleeders to pull a little bit of air through the threads on the bleeder screw which give you the false impression that there is still air in the brake lines. This is why I switched to a pressure bleeder several years ago... much quick, easier and cleaner.

Which pressure bleeder are you using? I have an air one and its total junk. I need to get something better.
