How old was that one? I pulled mine out to see what it looked like. No idea how old mine was. Not nasty like that though. Same brand as yours.

Last week was the 40th anniversary of the release of Caddyshack so I stuck a Bushwood Country Club sticker on the window and took it for a drive.










































The very stealthy Tarett Engineering.

I'd like to have the Dr Beeper 911 but that's out of my price range. The stickers not though.

Took my 2000 C4 Cab for short, relaxed and casual drive today.

Almost ran into a woman/dog who were in my blind spot while executing a left hand turn. Car stopped but I still think the brakes are "too soft."

Thank goodness, I didn't hit them.

I didn't miss them by much and I was only "rolling" thru the interestion at the time. Time delay from pedal press to stopping is WAY TOO long IMO!!!

Gotta do something about this. It's bugging the heck outta me and it's a safety issue to boot!

Got a pair of rear 18 inch P zeros installed to replace the very bald and probably 17 year old tires. Registered and new plates. Ordered a set of Beru coils and some Iridium plugs for this weekend. Will get underneath and start looking around at motor mounts and suspension pieces.

Looking at the Carfax, I'm guessing 2011. Says two tires mounted, so guessing fronts, but who knows. Are date codes easy to figure out? Reading further, looks like someone had brake pads changed, so maybe there's hope I'll pass inspection the first time.
