    Drove it down for the exhaust and broke a valve stem on the way there. Tire place across the street fixed it this morning and is dropping it off for it's exhaust as we speak.

    Good day in the neighborhood (y)

    Custom exhaust looks GREAT! They did an awesome job! (But forgot to take pictures :slap:)

    Other tire's valve stem went on the way home from exhaust - bringing that wheel down to be fixed today.

    Ordered shocks all the way around - kg4517 for the front, kg5447 for the rear

    Got completely surprised by a car cover I got from walmart - fits pretty perfectly.... I'll edit with model number and pictures later :tiphat:

    Completed the Taurus fan upgrade, not a minute too soon as my factory fan shroud recently cracked. Very nice indeed. Thanks to whomever first pioneered, and posted it.
