I installed new door speakers. Which is nice to have a stereo I can hear again.

Also polished the paint which it doesn't really look better it just mostly made it easier to see the scratches and chips which is a disappointment.

The End.

buffed out two scratches on the door with ScratchX that some MISERABLE CUNT must have put there when I was parked in town.

Is that stuff more aggressive than Ultimate Compound? I assume yes.

I got DashCommand to communicate with the cheap ODB2 adapter I purchased. Hopefully I can use this train myself not be such a leadfoot, and improve my fuel economy to something resembling the EPA estimates.

Tried to take off the exhaust at a friends house for shits and giggles. Decided it was a bad idea because it would be just dangling if we did it the easy way. Then it fell off the jack stands because stupidity. Luckily my friend was in the process of jacking it back up so we could get it down on the ground, so it didn't fall or anything, but it did roll backwards even though I had it in park with the handbrake on!!!!111 (yes I know the handbrake only does the rear wheels) I was on the phone with my dad when it happened and I had to silently freak out and flail my arms at my friends so my dad wouldn't figure out what was going on lmao.

Gave my car a nice wash. Nothing looks better than a freshly washed black car.

Post 8 in this forum has the listing of their products., Ultimate is slightly more aggressive.

Its been a while since I owned a dark car and it makes me kinda crazy because I can see all the dust on it. I washed my miata more times than I care to admit.

Changed the oil, replaced all my tensioner pulleys (2 on main belt and 1 on A/C) and that's it

I made my hanging front bumper stay. I ripped it off, threw it on the floor, told it to stay, and it hasn't moved since.

This is my first dark car. I love how they can fly under the radar compared to red, but man red cars look so clean for so long.

My last two cars were white and holy crap it seems like I could go for months and months without washing it.

and I was just informed by my friend that my car only locks the rear wheels while in park because RWD. Shit, maybe wheel chocks would have helped.

My car is black. And I haven't washed it in like 3 weeks. With all the snow and rain and nasty we've been getting (I live in Knoxville, and I'm pretty sure you do too) it hasn't been smart to put forth the effort to wash it. I was going to today but then I was busy doing other bullshit, so maybe tomorrow it'll happen.

Yes, this Knoxville weather doe? It's been amazing this past week. No car color makes you regret washing before a rain storm like a black car.

Yep. It's appallingly nasty looking right now. Oh well. You going to the EAG cars and coffee next weekend?
