Yesterday. Drove it. With the new shoes.

I’m reminded of how sh1+y are old tires. If your tires have date codes that are more than 5-ish years in the past…

Now she needs a bath. Naaw, she likes being dirty.

Had a set of Michelin Pilot sport Cup 2's installed a month ago. Stock sizes and N1 Ratings. I really like them so far. Put about 1K on them. Compared to the 5 year old Pirelli's that were on my car huge difference. Much better turn in and grip is excellent. Had to play with the pressures but settled at 32 F 36 R cold. Keeps the TPMS happy in comfort mode also. We will see how long they last but if I get 8k out of them I'll be happy.

Just watched the YouTube tutorial on converting to clear led markers.

Scared the crap out of me, not unlike the day the wifey asked to take the TT to the mall...

Thanks, I appreciate your noble intentions but I fear I may be too far gone...

You can do it - if I can so can you . I'm pretty useless. I ordered the wrong ones on the first go around - if that's any consolation. I did however, also install the Zunnsport grills and my Rennline iPhone magnetic holder thingy. And all 3 "projects" worked out pretty well.

A bit of a compilation here...

7/13: Listed for Sale
7/13: Realized if I sold the car I would regret it
7/13-7/26: "Met" some interesting people trying to sell the car. Had interesting offers; some low-ball and some not too bad.
7/26: Took the car off the market

In the past few weeks:
- Detailed the undercarriage
- Purchased OEM instrument panel with yellow gauges
- Purchased replacement Chrono Gauge Face in Yelllow
- OrderingYellow Seat Belts
- Scoping out Meth Injection Install
- Scheduled visit to dealer for Oil Change, PDK service, and instrument panel and chrono Gauge face install and remove seat belts for color exchange

Finally and most important I am at peace with having this expensive toy and every day I see it sitting up on the lift in the garage I appreciate it. I could be doing worse things with my money and have worse addictions!

Yeah, like lawyers, guns and money.

You chose wisely.

I have a very well documented history of destroying various pieces of body or trim I was trying to 'fix'.

However, I was able to swap the lights and install the Zunsports with little or no damage.

You can do it; fortune favors the bold.
