Just looking at it in my garage, too wet to drive plus we have snow showers as well. Worst spring I've seen, close to freezing temps.

Did my quarterly cleaning, wiped down the dash and door panels with a wet chamois, cleaned and conditioned the leather seats and wiped the dust off in the engine compartment. Took about 15 minutes so I'm done with that for another 3 months

Ha, it's been strange for sure. A great winter, March was overall very nice, April so-so, May sucks. It's 37 here right now.

I took these around 3:30 this afternoon in my front yard. Nothing stuck, nor will it, ground's too warm. Five minutes later the sun was shining:

Drove around. Stopped at a car show going on at the local Pep Boys. Go to leave and the car won't start. So I'm like ok I see no power on anything. Lets just check the battery and sure enough both cables RED/BLACK are not tighten down.

Grrr. Radio shop will get a call from me on Monday.

This weekend I finally bit the pricey bullet and ordered a set of BB Fusions with control kit for the LS2, then paced around anxiously waiting for them to arrive (~2 week turnaround). Hopefully rid of the stock sound by June.

Put about 150 miles on it.

Got caught in some flash rain today, it was supposed to be just cloudy. Oh well gives me a chance to wash and detail it next weekend weather permitting.

Pretty nice here in the Arizona desert, 92 today with a slight breeze
And I watched the drags inside
Oh well, one thing for sure Bruze, it will be sunny and warm tomorrow

I did too this afternoon, although not just for fun.

I followed a car and two ten-wheelers about 2 miles, going 40-45 on an open highway. Of course, the whole procession turned right where I also had to turn.

So we all turned, and there was open road for over a half mile ahead so I dumped it, was doing about 95-100 by the time I got around them. Good thing a deer didn't jump out.

Cats blew out for the 2nd time, fixed that.

Removed radar detector..been fine without it for over 6 months. Don't speed too badly most of the time.

Replaced rear rotors

Fixing dashcam mounting. Keeps falling off from where it is on the OnStar plastic thing on the windshield

Adding Vitesse throttle controller

Starting to see this more and more frequently. Did you paint the letters yourself? I really like the way it looks.
