Amex gives 6% cash back on groceries? I need to get myself an Amex.

I was the bringer of stout and ipa to a gathering on Monday. Frunk carried the beer and some dessert as well. Nice to get out and see people again (all vaccinated at this point) without masks.

Now that's a talented tow truck driver!
Most would never even attempt to back inside a single garage door.
They'd require you to push it outside.

Tell me about it!! I used Adam’s Towing in SLC, recommended by Morris Brothers Motorsports as the only company around they trust to tow P-cars. I was very impressed.

also if I refer you you get $150 credit. I’m going to warn you, Amex is the toughest credit card to get full disclosure my credit score is 821. You can pm me and send me your email I’ll refer you so you get the special offer. I can only recommend 5 people per year, I already got two this year. Also this card gives you 3 percent in gas stations and multiple offers that rotate all the time. Plus they just offered me 12 months free interest on purchases, anyway I use credit cards because I make money with them, if anybody says 10 percent discount for cash I pay cash.

Default Tint

Almost no visual difference, but mine had zero tint and before the TX summer sun and heat demolishes the interior got it tinted with Xpel XR 70% all around. Just prefer a clear greenhouse.

Wow, I totally understand now. Just spent 2 days in San Antonio (great city!), and it is a different kind of HOT. And it’s not even summer.

SA (and Houston) adds humidity to the mix and it's been a wetter May than normal and it just feels oppressive rn. Was able to get by w/o tinting most of my other cars but they've been hatchbacks or wagons. The rear glass on a coupe lets in a lot of sun!

Default 2nd trip of the week

This morning coffee from Panera in my specially made bag since I don’t have cup holders and using kolache factory coupon buy 3 get 3. Anyway twice in the outing triple digits. It’s sitting till next Saturday. Previous weekly run was beer 🍺. Life is good, smoking brisket, beef short ribs, beef shanks and sausage, I guess I should run a BBQ joint.

Headlight washer delete. I removed the washers, plugged the hose with 3/8” aluminum rod cut to about 2” and replaced the hose clamps with new. Swapped out the corner lenses with factory no hole replacements and done. Looks way better than the useless headlight washers that were there.

Thought I was going to replace the coolant tank again this weekend. Turns out I'll be replacing at least one hose next weekend instead.

Your going to find that there is a update hose using a o ring & clip like the other end and updated housing replacement instead of a worm screw clamp.
