I heart living in a four season motoring climate. Cold snowy climate + cabrio = half the fun. Loser.

We had flurries last weekend and again the other night. I've slapped on my last coat of Epic and am officially calling it Touchless Auto Wash season here in WI...

Agree. However Denver is not cold and not especially snowy either. In fact Paul I bet I can have my top down more then you in the rainy east during the winter.
Altitude + Sun = Top Down Winner!

i thought about it. jk.

the rain wasn't a big deal. the only thing that pissed me off is the next morning when i stupidly left the driver's side door open and as i was opening/shutting the passenger door and boot all this water that had accumulated on the roof poured into the driver's side and got all over my seat. not once, but twice. you'd think i would've shut the door after it happened the first time but nooooo.. i must have looked like a total idiot running in and out of the apt twice to get paper towels to wipe up my seat.

yah, ive done something like that too... back in high school.

after rain i get in my car, manually roll down the window, i take a right turn and walla, all the water on the roof splashes inside.


so this am it was nice out so motored my G and SprayOn waxed afterwards. also wired up a LED in the 09 FitS for the ignition ring. i got all the connectors, taps, zip ties this week but i noticed i was also out of wire looms... dang it. so ordered more.

ML- I'm not sure. Is that what it is?

I'm also thinking about putting the stock exhaust back on the FitS.

... And even potentially put the stock intake back on the Z.

What we did today.

After my two tickets this year, it became an obvious necessity...

woo~! very clean install. nice job.

but why escort and not V1? motoron's a V1 guy, no? he has like 2-3 units like me?

was funny cause my V1 was buzzing and pointing that there was a cop
approaching my Z from the back. i stopped at the light, the cop from
behind took the right lane which was a merging lane. he opened his
window... light turns green, i took off pretty quick not to let him in front
of me, but all he wanted to do was hear my car. he gave me a as
i passed him.

Most cops love good cars. Even when they're writing tickets.

On a different topic, ever get the feeling there are like six questions on the detailing forum that just get answered and asked again and again?

Thanks! I didn't do any work other than putting the sticker on the dash and holding some stuff though

He is a V1 guy...I wasn't willing to shell out the cash for one though. The Escort was $150 and so far has worked really well!

yah, i suppose motoron can sit shotgun and point his fingers where the cops are coming from. be even better than V1 cause he'd say things...

over there!
inside there!
up there!
under there!
upside down there!



only limitation is he's got only 5 channels.... his forehead, his hands, his legs, oh... wait..there's anothe... never mind.
