fixed covers :-)
When I first installed the fuel rail covers * I couldn't figure out why they didn't sit flush. Doh ... I finally figured out that the rubber tabs fit down into a slot on the lower covers * rather than sitting on top if it.
Now, it looks better
* btw, I don't know the correct names for these two covers, but I'm happy to learn

Painted my lettering yellow to match the car as the stock red paint was coming off.

I use the floor jack with jack stands.
I'll do some basic stuff like change the oil, rotate the tires I even changed the molded wheel well liner as the original was damaged when I bought the car.
The Quick Jack looks awesome, but I just can't justify spending that much money if I only need the car up once or twice a year.

We have a lot of construction around us and during a short drive around the block I picked up what looks like a piece of razor blade....that punctured my tire. Have to get it patched in the morning

In fact, there is some on my usual way to the golf course, so now I take an alternate route through some neighborhoods (which takes longer) just to avoid it.

My road is supposed to be done by June 1st. So I washed it and covered it up.

How deep is that cut? Is it loosing air? If it isn't leaking air, no need to punch a hole in the tire to fix it from the outside. Most places have to take the tire off the rim and patch it from the inside.

Rain here today in CT, so not driving the Grand Sport. Tomorrow it'll be back up on the Quickjacks so I can remove the wheels, bring them to the shop and have the new TPMS installed. Tuesday is still marked for delivery of the forged wheels, so hopefully tires, sensors and wheels all get mounted/balanced later next week.
Oh, and only 10 posts away from 12,345
