Nice, I like how the black P5 wheels (@ least that's what they look like) look on the silver car

 

So, Ol' Blue's got reason to be excited because her and her cousin Dory will have a new bedroom in a few weeks. Finally, they don't have to sleep outside while I'm warm inside!

The new place has one of these:


Oh yes, I'm stoked. Srsly. However, notice anything odd? Huge 2 car garage. Single, tiny incandescent bulb. Hmmm, how do we fix this? Well, Ol' Blue had to chip in and do a little work today:


There was a couple selling fluorescent lights on Craigslist. These are all 2x4", 3 bulb grid fluorescents. You'll count 8 in the hatch, and there's a 'hidden' one in the passenger seat. Arrange them 3 x 3, multiply by 3 bulbs each and that's 27 fluorescents in a 2 car garage. It's gonna be bright as a muuuuug in there . Yay for having a workshop!

Oh... they were $15 a pop. Lowes lists equivalent ones at almost $50/ea. Word?

 

*suppresses jealous rage*

Congrats on the new home.

 

omg big garage FTWWWWWWWWWWW

 

Cool, congrats on the new place. I wish I could do electrical stuff.

 

OK... I think I'm officially sold on powder coating my stock wheels

 

Those wheels do look nice Gary, but don't you have a P5?! This whole time I thought you were a P5 owner instead! Waaaa too confused, system overlead!!


On the other hand, your place looks really nice aMaff. Congrats d00d, enjoy

 

no that's gary's car...he's had an ES all along

 

thanks guys! Closing's on wednesday. I'm stoked


Me too. That's why you get friends who can do electrical stuff

 

Power washed my rear inner fenders, wiped them down with autobdy degreaser, dried and reapplied a nice new coat of black rock guard into the seams to get ready for winter. You could see the factory white seam sealer and blue paint so now its nice and black and sealed.

 

Gary, nice looking ES! I like the HID, looks great.

You need a rear lip to finish up the look though, it's like the last peice in a puzzle missing

 

I'll get the rear lip some time, hopefully in the spring.

 

I put 950something miles on my car between yesterday and today (Saturday and Sunday). Crossed 93000 miles like 20 minutes from getting back to my place in Rochester.

the meet in Atlantic City was good times! The 22V Trinity got to meet up again (myself, Stephen/satimko (don't think he's registered on here), and rob/liquid_ag)

 

yay! very fun

 

35.96mpg down.. haven't calculated the way back up but it's probably 32.something. I didn't follow the speed limit as closely (on the way down I set the cruise at 110km/h and didn't exceed that) --for the last 30 or so miles in Pennsylvania I was following a 'blue' (gray lol) Mazdaspeed3 and we were going 80mph-ish


woot the low fuel light isn't even on yet! I made it to 396 and it still wasn't on!!

Here's the 22v trinity:
