Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

The GP has been parked since Tuesday for want of premium gas (currently running about $3.89/gallon).

I rolled up my change and have about $25 ready to go in the gas tank for this weekend.

Plus this CD:



You'll find me in the Beavercreek area, trolling for Civic's and Cavalier's so I can school them properly.

That. Or the counter person is just an idiot and doesn't know what a limited lifetime warranty entrails. Being its AutoZone I wouldn't be surprised at that as they only seem to hire idiots.

Oil change,wheels balanced and aligned, filled tank and added some fuel system cleaner. Gonna hit the road to Daytona beach later.

The shop I took it to was slammed and they couldn't get to my motor mount project in time so I took matters into my own hands. Here's the rear mount I'm coming up with for the ls4 basically chopping it in half welding g steel which gives the ability to bolt my polyurethane block between the two.

I inspected my oil filter from my last oil change. 2,700 miles on synthetic oil. There was a good amount of carbon inside. It has the texture of sand, so it would be very bad if a filter were to fail. That makes me wonder. All of the posts I've seen on the forums about 3800's developing a rod knock just about overnight with full oil seems suspicious. The next person that it happens to, take the oil filter apart and make sure the filter element doesn't have a hole in it or something. That carbon really is quite abrasive.

This....



And no clue where the other half is..I'm pretty sure it's not in the ignition

killed another MAF today

Tinted fogs n new shifter n boot!

Good question. I found the other half laying on the concrete. How exactly it broke I have no idea it's not like it broke in the ignition or door lock or anything . FML!

Ordered a fuel pump from the wbody store on Monday or last friday and it is just now shipping to my house and will not be here until Wednesday (I have sunday, monday, and tuesday off) so I probably will not get to install it until next sunday. Thursday if I'm lucky.

I keep then separate. My mind is boggled. I was going to wash the truck went to put the key in the door to unlock it and noticed it was broke. So dirty truck plus broke key FML. Hopefully a replacement isn't to bad.

I do only have one key for the Grand Prix though and one dummy key just to unlock everything. Bought it like that and haven't bothered getting one made.

thats good.


my car came with one key, it was the first things i fixed. new key and fob. im really good at locking my keys inside the car. ( its fun to do when your 100 miles from home) im shocked i dont have a hide a key on the regal yet. i've had a key hiding on my last 3 cars. (thats like 13 years worth of cars)

I only had one key for the Grand Prix for over two years. I finally got a second key at the end of June.

I bought the dummy key after I locked the key in the car literally right across the street from my house in Advance Autoparts parking lot. I was heated $75 and locksmith is literally 5 mins down the road.

if you had my track record with locking keys in the car, you'd have gotten one with in two weeks too. lol
