man D I wish my car looked that good, I wash it but theres so much humidity that in the morning its covered in condensation and gets all the dirt and dust from the air, your door panels have no door dings either! I need to move to an area where people care more about their cars, not counting the people here that think their making their car better by putting spinners on it...(real or fake) but drive junkers.

I got her a new home! Does that count?

Granted, that was this weekend, but whatever. Now she's all cozy at night, and not freezing *** cold when I get in every morning. w00t!

Thanks man. I baby the hell out of it, my coworkers keep telling me "it's not a Porsche dammit!"

I usually park a distance from everybody in the parking lot and walk an extra few minutes so I keep my car door ding free.

it's insulated, not heated. But it still stays significantly warmer than the outside. Having a non-cold car makes my mornings

If you wanted to you could just leave the door into the house open to warm things up.

it probably doesn't even get down to what I consider 'uncomfortably cold' for very much of the year, so it wouldn't really be worth investing in a permanent heating solution.

Start saving for a lift!

lol naa. As cool as that would be, that'll come with house #2 (ie bigger better faster stronger). For now my trusty jacks and jackstands will get the job done I've got a lot of room around the cars to work with, which is nice.

Just in case someone knows the site offhand.. I know the stock hood uses M12, but don't know if it's x1.25, x1.50, x1.75, etc. Anyone know?

Somehow I ended up with just two bolts on my (Rob's original) stock hood. Since the hood is mounted right now I can't just take a bolt off and bring it into the store.

I actually JUST went looking for it and couldn't find it, so it's not just you. It's not listed in my subscriptions anymore :'(

I really needed a pick-me-up since I just got my first final exam grade back and my final grade in my psych of personality class is an 89.44% --in RIT terms (no + or - grades) that means a 3.0 toward my GPA, I'm so sad now I really need kitties to make me feel alive again.
