I can't wait to get the car to flood this section. Just kidding, but seriously I have some DIY items I want to post. I guess I will be the pioneer.

I don't even have my car yet so it's hard to do any DIYs yet

I probably will work on the audio system lockout shortly after getting the car, but probably not for a few weeks, will be busy replacing parts on the DD to sell it.

I've always been broke so all my past cars have been modified all by my hands so I look forward to getting my hands on the frs so I can knock out some simple thrifty but clean DIY mods!
