What did you do to your Car today?

Tried to remove plasti dip dots with a sponge.

Plasti dip is not as easy to remove as everyone says it is... took me hours to remove it from my wheels especially in the lug nut holes and around the stem... what a pain. It's still some on the inside of the wheels and it'll probably remain there.

ive put my jack stands there, but for jacking it up i shoot for the rear sub frame bolt hub, the cup on the jack fits around this hub, so it feels safer, like it cant slide off.
 
i dont even jack my 05 from there, subframe all the way lol and my car is rust free :D



today i looked at in the rain, went and bought new wiper blades and injector orings.

if the rain falls off some then i might look into mounting the lip.

You're so lucky with your light dusting of snow. 2 nights ago I measured 7.5in of snow from the storm. Its still sticking... Ive never seen snow really stick around in April like it has been. This is fvcking unreal. I think North Korea did this to us. lol
 


Drove it to get a hot n ready loaded to the gills! Lol kinda like buying a Fiesta and you opt for the Titanium trim. Leather, moonroof and nav but it's still a Fiesta.
Sn: I put down pieces of broken bricks in front of my house because my neighbors refuse to park in front of their own house... I was going to go with glass but that's not nice

I stopped due to some bending metal in that area, started using the subframe on the front and the channels on the rear, more stable and safer. But like Eric... I have no rust, could do it all day long if I really wanted to push it.

You northerners and your salt baths, so mean to the cars.
 
Someone should post up pics or where on the subframe you jack it up. I feel like everytime I go to do that I am going to snap something.

you can hit dead center of the front sub frame, make sure its good and centered, and on the frame. this will lift both front tires up.

or hit the rear of each side of the sub frame, you can almost get the rear tire off the ground with a jack fully jacked up in the rear sub frame bolt, it takes very little to lift the back tire up, ( i use a bottle jack for the rear, or stock jack) its how i rotate the tires.

For some reason it seems like I tried lifting it up from the front like that once but it didnt lift it high enough.
 


Holy $#!+ that's clean. I wouldn't jack up my car anywhere but the subframe because... theres just nothing there. And for the rear I use the trailing arm bushing/ mount thing under the rear doors.
