Disassembled the grounding system in the engine bay, brushed and de-oxed every connection as a preventative measure, found a couple that had a fair amount of corrosion on them so it definitely wasn't wasted time. I think there's a little issue with my cam actuation and I SUSPECT it's electrical resistance in the circuit so... easy and cheap first step before I go replace everything.

I don’t really ever take the G on trips. I decided to try it for once.

I wish I would’ve done it sooner. I’ve never really understood the G’s capabilities until this weekend. I drove down to Petit LeMans at Road Atlanta. Drove through the smokies instead of around them, which took a bit more time. Experienced all kinds of weather including heat waves to hurricane winds and rain storms.

The g is a performance car when properly maintained.

Actually I believe 5th on the AT is an overdrive but it is slight. The engine certainly has the torque to push moar....

14+ yr old design and still the best looking car on the road!

Edit: although my brother's new Tesla model S 75D is a pretty neat looking car and the glass top is BADASS!

Thanks! Also - I did a small headlight modification. The color matches the diode dynamics side marker bulb, I need to replace the city light bulbs. The halo itself is a switchback, do it acts as a turn signal.
