Just a quick wash. Braved the Texas heat and some giant tweaked monster fly wasp hybrid that chased me around the driveway.

Sat out on the lanai to enjoy a beautiful morning in SW Florida.



So we took a ride to the beach.



Stopped for lunch and suddenly the weather changed to this.



Drove home, the storm passed and gave her a bath.





Typical summer day in SW Florida.

Drove it. Found some low speed twisty roads, which is all we have around here and went out for a few hours.

I wired in the axxess xsvi-2004 & did the magic voodoo spell to get my RAP & amps all working.
Then put my door sill protectors on

Then removed my intake & changed my oil pressure switch.

Then disassembled my EBCM, soldered it, & reinstalled to fix that problem.

Then put everything back together and cleaned the engine bay some.
