    Compliments

    Took the MM out for a little drive. At both places I stopped I got compliments.

    You are 100% correct though fastblackmerc, when replacing the tail lamb bulbs, it is best practice to perform the service on both sides, time permitting.

    Polished it up with the McGuiars waterless spray cleaner and wax after a couple months of dust buildup in the garage. I swear by that stuff.
    Armour All'd the engine.
    Actually I use tire foam. Same results.

    Bought more "Go Fast" parts.
    You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference

    I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard

His car was filthy as he parks under trees at school and had bird droppings, leaves, serious dirt and even twigs stuck to his hood.

    So, being that he is 18 and I couldn't really give him a time-out, I quickly decided it was time for a time-in. I asked him to get his shoes on and meet me outside w his car keys while I went outside and packed two buckets full of towels, glass cleaner, car wash soap, and wheel shine.

    He came out, I asked him to follow me in his car, and we drove to the local quarter sprayer where we rinsed his car, hand washed it, and he dried it. We then did my mine. We then did the interior, Windows, and rubber on both cars.

    We had a good quiet hour working together, and it was actually fun! He didn't complain once. And I do know that next time I tell him to take his car to the local full service car wash-- won won't blow it off. And if he does we will have another great hour together.

    Looked out the window this AM, and saw two CVSports, both spotless. Wierd thing is, and I noticed this again yesterday. Even with same size wheels and staggered tires, his HPP has a much better, meaner stance than mine!
    No pics? Come on, mannnnnnnnn!!!!
