finally got around to taking pictures of the new wheels. I got these from Suncoast on their winter tire special last month. Fun Drive on Skyline this morning.

After a spirited drive with the local PCA folks yesterday, I cleaned & waxed it, cleaned and moisturized the vinyl/rubber with Griots, leather with McGuiar's, and then put it away.
'Cause daddy's gotta hit the road for work, and earn money to keep it in tires and premium gas!

Over 1.5 years of ownership, and on my third attempt at this, I finally got my HomeLink to work with my garage door. Oh happy day. The trick, for me, was to press the desired button three times while the garage door opener was in learn mode. On the third press, the door moved and I about **** a brick.

I unplugged it, uncovered it, wiped it down detailed the rims and brake calipers, aired the tires, checked the oil and than took it for a ride up to my brothers house.

Dropped it off at the local tire place for new front shoes. The 7 year old 20K mile Pirelli's needed to go.

Trying out the Bridgestone S04's.

Sitting at a Starbucks right now staring out the window at it in the parking lot. I picked it up 20 minutes ago after I had the paint corrected and a 22PLE coating added. It looks brand new. Now I just have to train myself to keep it that way.
