Washed the Mustangs and the truck. Will hit the Lexus when the sun sets a little. Water is evaporating too fast right now.

Decided to strip the 18 year old window tint in the unicorn. Quickly realized my razor scraper was shit and the blade was practically serrated.

Made a quick trip to Vatozone for some fresh blades but bought a long handled scraper instead. Should’ve been using that from the start.

I need to do this, but mine has the damn defrost.

You guys would be mad at me
But I'm totally not for putting in a roll cage
I can't see me cutting up any car or bolting welding
And modify any of the body
I have seen some trick custom cages
I will modify to a point
And make it to where it's back to original
That is just me

Never on anything I drive on the street, anyway.

I didn’t wanna do it . I drag race my car all the time so I had to do it . I live in but fuck nowhere so I only put like 1700 miles on my car a year and majority of that was the drag and drive. We custom fit my cage to me in my car so it fits really nice lots of head room and no elbows smashing off the door bars .

I'm with you man. I like to drive my cars and once you put a cage in it gets impractical for street use and actually more dangerous. If you hit your head on one without a helmet on you're in a world of shit.

Spent the last few days working on the P0300 etc. codes. Decided to put new injectors (stock) along with some new plugs and MSD coil packs on. Having to remove the strut brace for this made me just think to "shotgun" the attack, instead of having to remove the strut a bunch of times. Checked compression (120-130) while there and made a simple remote adapter so I can use my remote under the hood (cleanly). While tires were off (get to upper strut bolts/nuts), put new pads/rotors on the front (will do rears later) and after six track weekends, the XP12's served out their sentence! Rotors worn 1mm thickness wise, but showed too many small cracks for me. All back together and will see what happens, but it does feel peppi :)

I did a remote start switch on mine a well when I was wiring it. I just stuck a switch inside of a prescription bottle with the wires coming out the bottom with the harness on it. it is great when your finding TDC or checking compression by yourself.

I look at these things for work and they're honestly the biggest piece of shit scams ever made. I live in Indiana and I am local to the factories that put these out, they'll take you on a tour and brag about how they build them from start to finish in 3 weeks and put 50 of them out the door every week. They all leak from the roof in the first year, most of them don't fully function when they leave the factory. The frames are welded together by what appears to be toddlers.

I can't tell you how many claims I get on a regular basis where its not even a valid claim, its just these poorly made units falling apart.

Class A RV's with fiberglass roofs (you know the half a million dollar ones). Are the only ones built with any kind of quality and even then its marked up 200%
I can across a youtube page that makes it sound like almost all the new ones made have issues. Some minor, some major but they don't seem to like to take care of them it sounds like

We sold our 1995 to my mother back in February but She hasn't had a chance to drive it much. So today we took our 2005 Roush and she took her (our old) 1995 and went on about a 100 mile cruise with the tops down. Yesterday I put an MMD scoop on the hood then today put Roush stickers on the doors. Ordered a Roush CAI last week. Think it's coming Monday so have to get that on. After that only things left is cat or axle back and ceramic coating and I think thats it for that car.

Had my car on stands and noticed there’s a kink in my ptfe fuel line . Ordered more line today to make a new hose . Fuel pressure was there just wasn’t enough flow . Good old Holley safety’s doing their job . Makes sense why it breaks up at 5800 .

I have taken majority of my cars to the drag strip
I
Do like fucking around at the elegal drags
Don't mind a street race once and a while
But I want the car to still have somewhat of that stock feel to it
I have had plenty of mustangs
Best feel is the boss 302 I had and my 69 fastback
