I figured one of you guys was the owner. :-) Is yours auto or MT?

(following up on the thread) Peter B is also a really good, local mechanic.

G35_sylvi and wongy, you guys have quite a few mods to your cars and all these performance parts. I'm just curious (not trashing): when do you actually get to "put them to use" given we're in such a small town? Do you guys track? autocross? (race from Cunningham exit to Prospect exit (haha)?

Yeah, I'd be up for that. See what a turbo on a G is all about. :-) Let's get together when it warms up.

OK, now: I saw a DG (I think) coupe on Prospect & Kirby today (Monday) at 5:45pm. It was heading East. Whose is it? :-) I was heading West...

their authentic they def cost heaps more but its well worth it, because you'll end up saving on prep and paint, makes a huge difference. let me know if you're interested and i'll see if i can hook you up.

Nah, I didn't. :-)

I normally wash my car at home, but when it's really cold I go to this oil/detail/car wash place on Bradley, east of Mattis (as if you were going to Parkland). Touch-less car washes are worthless given that all the salt and other dirt have been sitting on the car for a while, so this place has the brushes. It's more expensive than the other car washes ($8 vs $5 for the cheapest), but I think it's worth it.
