Drove 5 hours to Atlanta for Import Alliance, 580 mile round trip. Had a blast, right until I got back to my apt and ran over and ENTIRE deer laying in the middle of the road. Hoping I didn't break anything, I don't have a jack so I have to wait for a friend to check it out. Its always something...

I have no idea. I was rolling to a red light maybe going 20, and the car in front of me straddled it and there was nothing I could do. I came up out of my seat, somehow it didn't damage front bumper or my diffuser, although there is hair stuck to both.

It's been a long week without SLICK, I get her back from the body shop tomorrow. Cleaned the garage floor/driveway with Muriatic acid, like new! Not having SLICK in my garage has given me a chance and the room to work on my Wife's Corvette! Amazing how well boredom can make a car look, don't believe the Vette has looked this good ever...

I straddled a water bottle in the road and heard squash underneath

Summer wheels back on along with new Conti Extremecontact DWs and a solid bath. First pic is a pre-summer wheel change, the rest are post.
Received my new OEM driver and passenger weather strips for the windows as well since they were getting old and have some air whistling through them at times.
Sorry, no giant wings, ill-fitting body kits or slammed wheels with 50 degrees of negative camber. My G is one of the lucky ones!

^^^the more I replace on the G, the more I am enjoying driving it! The new JWT clutch has transformed the car--it is that good. The clutch pedal and shifter feel so much lighter and the shifts are snick, snick now. I honestly can't believe how different it made the car feel. And the fact that it catches so low really gets the car moving. JWT clearly continued to work on this clutch over the years because it is night and day over the one I had in 2005! Driving a manual will always be more fun and rewarding than an auto.
Also, much cheaper to have the G as a project than the ISF!

Found time to go home and paint my chipped and peeling faces on my wheels. Settled on a matte grey b/ why not. For $18 worth of paint they completely transformed the entire car. Also polished up the center caps while I was waiting on the paint to dry.

I really don't like the matt black on my centers (and the chips/digs) so I'm considering painting them over - maybe even just satin black or remove the paint and polish it.

How did you go about painting them? Did you let the air out the tires then unbolt the centers or just mask the dish off?
