What did you do to your Car today?

Drilled and tapped my F-Body caliper brackets to use the GP M14x2.0 screw.

Got it's second pull over Saturday night. For the locals....I was doing 70-75mph into the Chicopee curve (aka 50mph). Unmarked car, fog lights on it and all.

I explain how I'm tired from all the work I'm doing on the house, and trying to get home before my finance does, she's an ER nurse at the super close hospital. Gotta ensure they have the whole story. Plus now I'm rolling with what I hope looks like a veteran plate on the car.

I laughed when she drove by. Let go with a warning. It's the story of my life...and a good one!

Your level must be a little off, because thats only like 9-10 gallons. But I do remember the days when 40-45 bucks filled the tank full, now its around 50 if I need 15 gallons.

And we are down to 3.11 last time I checked, but 93 is nearly 3.45 still.

it took almost 9 gallons. i know i got a 4 gallon reserve in this car when the light comes on. but was way into the reserve by the time i hit the station.
 
it came on 2 days ago as i parked it. tire still had air so i parked it and went home, it sat yesterday, and when i went to the fill up some J-O was at the air pump being retarded, so i left lol

no sense in hitting the reset button till the tires filled up. or ill have to reset it twice.


whats a J-O you ask? J-O=jerk off. back in the day, we would be like whats up J-O lol you say it "jay o".
 


Today I haven't done anything. Yesterday I finally mounted all my amps and everything for the stereo. I found one of the 30 amp fuses blown on my Pioneer amp, so I started investigating a bit and it lead me to check the sub's impedance. It's a f*cking 4 Ohm sub. I swear that it was a 3 Ohm sub according to the specs I looked up (I remember because of how weird it was, never seen a 3 Ohm before). Naturally I can't find those specs anymore, either way I'm looking for a new amp. Something that does around 400W RMS @ 4 Ohms. I don't want to spend an arm and a leg, so that might be fun. If I had a 2 Ohm sub I'd be fine but noooooooo.
 
Got a front end alignment today.

Let me say this Local Belle Tire is AWESOME. I go in and ask about a alignment guy asks why i told him the wheel is off center and i got a pull to the left. Hes like okay but let us throw it on the machine and check it first to be sure. He said its free so don't worry. Little bit later he comes back with the data from the alignment rack and the front end is off. He explained each measurement in detail and how it effects tire wear and drive ability ect and even went into detail on the specs and answered any questions i had. I also asked about how hard it is to center the wheel and he said it was very easy. So that dealership I went too is full of **** and they were just lazy. Little bit later he comes back and says, we determined your pull to be a radial pull (they swapped front wheels to confirm) he then told me he put the tire on the back so it won't effect the steering and told me it should wear just fine. Cost me 59.90 and imo was worth it those guys are great. Now the car tracks straight and doesn't pull anymore and the wheel is bang on center.

nice shop....your tires wore unevenly, so when they made it right, it still pulled from the tire. in 5,000 miles or so the fronts on the back should be worn flat again and you can rotate them like you should be.
