Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

What did you do to your Car today?

gave the regal a bath, its been about a month since it last bath. also washed my friends work truck, it was right next to my car and has not been washed in a easy 3 years. i then told him to make his workers wash the truck every Friday or Saturday after work. so it can look like this all the time.

zero wax on it so the water just laid on the paint, but it shined.

Got a bunch of stuff done today. Took it to a friend's house and he compounded those awful black scuff marks from around the car.

After that we washed and waxed her properly and took care of some of the interior pieces that were in need of repair such as the broken control pad on the driver's door, and that damn carpet that kept falling down from the side of the rocker panel on the passenger side.

Thats actually not a bad idea for me. I am getting ready to head out on an awesome hike. If I get some good enough scenery for the car I will snap a shot.

Well, by the time I got back to my car I had hiked almost 18 miles. I was too dead tired to even think about snapping pics of the car.
 


today i changed the plugs and wires, then changed the LIM gaskets valve cover gaskets and the supercharger gasket. amazingly with 165000 miles the LIM gaskets werent leaking but it was going to happen soon because they were cracking and fell apart when i took them out.
 
Finished up my wetsand and rubbing compound ordeal. Now I'm onto the waxing tomorrow, I also reblacked out the lights with lens tint. Going to polish that up tomorrow... oh oh fascia will be black tomorrow. And I turned 215k miles today :)

That is all
 


Saw it for the first time in 3 days. Unlocked it to put sunglasses back in and locked it back up.

The G6 kicked a$$ on MPG on our vacation, averaged 32 MPG including the nasty hills in Southern Kentucky and Tennessee.

Yeah, its pretty nice, but terrible on the car. I've done 14,000 miles in about 2.5 years.

Let's see, my car had 123,000 on it when I bought it March 1, 2011. As of today I sit with around 146,500 so I have put about 23,500 on it in about 17 months.

Honestly, if I lived as close to work as you did I would probably pick up a bicycle and ride it.
