Went to take it out for a cruze yesterday, needed a jump, even though maintained with a charger every 3 weeks. After a long hwy drive to store, figuring it would charge up, needed a jump again. Thanks cabala's dude for the jump on your lunch, store policy no jumps for customers. Battery 6 years old, buying new one today, good weather just around the corner.

Today, I drove mine to 7-11 and then to a church function. It was nice to do that in February, in Michigan. I don't think I'll get to drive it for another week or two.

I'm getting the new side skirts and splitter XPEL'd in April (along with my headlamps). I'm also getting some clear tint for heat rejection (so it won't look like it has any tint, but I get the positive effect of UV and most IR blocked)

Uncovered & started my 86 that has been outside all this Michigan winter (60 today).
Started right up. Warmed to 180 & put back to sleep until April 15, SCCA Autocross.

Replaced the corner lights lenses on it. Stock ones were all hazy and heat cracked on top. Water would get in and pop the bulb.

Put in new clear corners from amazon. Dam rusty bolts snapped off on mount. Had to redrill holes to mount them.

Was to cold to repaint calipers (third weekend in a row) and to put on new drilled/slotted rototrs.
