Thanks! It was a great day to do it, instead of being 29 degrees, it was 50! My hands didn't freeze to my tools! Lol
Was (is) your grandma Italian ...... with the plastic covered furniture ......??

Ahhh...... yes, green or burnt orange shag carpet ..... just hit it with a carpet rake and it looked clean. Now, was her refrigerator avocado or copper or harvest gold .......??

After your brakes get bedded, let us know how they work ......

My Grandma, may she RIP, was amazing! She was instrumental in my upbringing, helping me become who I am today. She sent my father to NMMI (New Mexico Military Institute) and then when I became of age, sent me.
I will be forever grateful!

And yes!!!! Her appliances were avacado. lol This story comes to mind:
She sent my back to Ralph's, a grocery store, because I didn't use a coupon that would have saved her $0.14 on a can of green beans. Mind you, I used a handful of coupons for the bag of stuff she sent me to the store for. It was 107 degrees in Roswell NM. And I walked three blocks back to the store for 14 cents to make her happy! The lessons we learn when we are young... "Thank you Grandma!"


via Imgflip Meme Generator if it looks familiar, it is the "base" in men who stare at goats.

When I get a few miles on the brakes. I'll give some feedback on them.

My last car was dinged on both sides within a week of getting it. Now I do a scan on anybody parked too close after I get back to the car, better attention to where I do park and especially what I'm parked next to.
The person that does finally get me this time better have good insurance because I'll probably stomp all over their car.

That stinks, weird thing I got the same exact ding with my '06 Si. I love safety and fuel economy but I wish something could be done to strengthen these paper thin body panels and micron thick paint.

That was a great concept. Not sure why no one else has gone this route. Seems the paint would also benefit by not heat soaking so much.
