Ya, that's because you were only 1 of the 6 people who had tickets. They weren't worried sick about you, just their shrinking demographic Joking aside, I'm really glad these local teams are still around.

My tail light gaskets are taking extra long to get here (were supposed to be here Friday), so I checked the tracking # to see why. It appears that they took a short detour to Puerto Rico on the way from Iowa to California. Makes perfect sense.

It's a Christmas miracle, they're finally here. As expected they look different than the older gaskets. Also they have a paper backing on them with some pre-applied adhesive in certain spots, but not around the entire thing - check it out.

Maybe the new 17 tails are sealed since they are LED now and thus a good seal isn't as crucial?

I'm still thinking that the black 3m weatherstripping sealant stuff would be a good idea, what do you think?

Check out this $28 license plate frame. It's super solid metal with no flex to it at all.

Judging based on the original pic on the FT86SF site, I thought the lettering was going to be painted white, but it's actually engraved in the medal and then covered by a clear resin seal. Check out those machining marks! Pretty cool.

It's submerged from all the rain.
