• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! 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?

I got the line figured out and dsmuts, you are correct. I think I will be buying a new one soon. It went back in way too easy. the end didn't look bad, but it didn't look great either. We will see how long it takes for it to come out again. The van does run better IMO. I think the line has been off for a while.

They all pop off super easy. It must just be a 31/3400 thing.

i dont wanna do black thats boring

i was thinking of painting my whole engine bay black while the engine is out because its white and is not the prettiest

was thinking maybe a old skool pontiac blue

what you guys thinkin?
 


Gave the Sonic a decent bath. Waiting for better weather to do a full detail. Then I drove it back home, and got 51.2mpg, driveway to driveway.

Plus, I changed out the factory plug wires on the wagon, and suddenly it found another cylinder. No idea how long it had been misfiring on that cylinder.

I use this stuff called back to black on all of my black trim and my pillars, it brings faded blacks back to a nice glossy dark black. Not sure if it works on paint or not but it's worth lookin into, great product.

Edit: for plastics only
 


Adam's VRT is amazing for plastics/vinyls/etc.

Clear Markers. Hopefully I can find an aftermarket bulb that isn't amber.
