Yeah most bulbs come in pairs anyway (mostly so companies make more money). But on my 74 they may not even be stand alone bulbs... Yet still only $6! http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo....nid=372&jpid=1 That's the cool part about old cars.. even though they break all the damn time, the parts are usually dirt cheap. My fuel pump was $20 (also just a mechanical fuel pump not even electric...)

I just polished out the R30 yesterday, washed and waxed it. It looks good, but I still hate cleaning my cars. The last thing I claybared was the windshield on my wife's Mini. Even that was almost too much.

I'm seriously thinking about keeping it real and doing the GT-R in grey primer. Let my white trash flag fly!

I have no problem doing other work on the car (I actually enjoy it most of the time) but I've always hated the clay and wax or detailing in general.

I completely agree. I applaud the guys and gals who wash and wax once a month or more frequently! Did a 6 hour thorough detailing session with a buddy in December. I admit it was fun and great learning experience, but never again. Perhaps if my car was a show car, then I would.

Powaa from that supercharged LS engine! I do like the idea of having a higher powered car alongside the more humble, nimble, chihuahua-on-crack, FRS.

Flew over a brush fire earlier.. no fire trucks either we had to call it in.

Welp, first autox in the FRS was a relative success. Hadn't done one in over a year, and didn't know anyone there really. My friend went back today and apparently some folks were talking about me. I now have a reputation for being "ballsy."


Cool.

Some of you guys heard the news about earthquake that happened in Kumamoto Japan on Saturday (7.3) & minor one today (4.6), which my mother side family lives near by. They're all safe and nothing major happened to them, but plz pray for ppl in Kumamoto, Japan.

Woooo, 4 day weekend for me!

About to head to the exhaust shop and see what they can do about getting rid of some drone/ lowering some noise with the legsport.

Also, pissed the woman off real good last night when we went out for dinner. She picked a spot that has a bunch of craft brews on tap, thinking that I could try something new. Out of 30 beers, I'd had 29 of them, so I tried the one I hadn't had before and I hated it. She took it extremely personally that I didn't like their selection, when really, I'm just picky about beer, well, snobby might be the better word for it.

Needless to say, I need to get better at hiding displeasure from her. Or maybe she needs to take things less personally. I let her know that I really, really appreciated the thought she put in to finding a new restaurant with a sizable beer menu, and local, organic (hipster) food. Apparently it didn't matter, since I hated the beer.

2k ft, but because of the terrain there is probably 1500 above the ground.

This is what it looked like 3k ft still going strong an hour later.
