What did you do to your car today?

[ctrlraven]

This is a popular subject thread on many forums I am on so I figured I'd post it up here.

So basically what did you do? Can be anything from changing a bulb to installing a s/c kit and even breaking wind in it lol.




For me today I am changing the rear diff fluid and possibly getting a brake system flush.

[CBT]

I put magnetic Northrop Grumman placards on the 2 front doors and drove it to work. :beer:

[cougar9150]

Picked up some more gaskets I had ordered and stared at it while I wait for the rest of my stuff to get here. Will probably do some more cleaning up later.

[TiTo35]

I changed my loglights, checked fluids and drove the snot out of it yesterday. Today, just drove it to work...Tomorrow, pending snow...BRAKES!!

[MMBLUE]

Taking the dirt off of it:)

[Krytin]

Intalled the EMP-Stewart water pump after flushing the cooling system.
Also flushed the power steering fluid.

[2,4shofast]

Not the Marauder but I did wash the Edge

[Mac-MerC]

oil change and rear differential fluid, tire pressure and wiper blades.
was gonna try and install HID's later.... might rain tho

[Donny Carlson]

Getting estimates to fix the body damage some a-hole did to my driver side front fender. #@$@$% @@R$#!!

[bhenderson]

Installed K&N cold air kit and Lidio 3.55 tune. Next stop 4.10's. Can't wait.

[Blackened300a]

Stared at it as I pulled out of my garage this morning to go to work.

[bawazir]

washed the hell out of it

[Cheeseheadbob]

Fianlized a long term storage deal so I can keep the car indoors and in a climate controlled environment year round.

[DOOM]

Stared at it in my garage.
Since i havent driven it since early november. :bigcry:

[Pops]

Stared at it. Its 11 degrees today. I did have someone talhing T Bolts this morning. That was fun!:D

[Ms. Denmark]

Washed it. Installed a trunk organizer. (Thanks Mr. Man);)

[babbage]

Pretty industrious group!

From inside my house: hit the garage door opener - then hit remote starter.
15 mins later drove to work....

Called my local LMQ and my Mercury OEM winter floormats STILL aren't in.

[swordfish]

Called my local LMQ and my Mercury OEM winter floormats STILL aren't in.

Did the same thing. Been waiting over a month.

[Hadamustang1]

Left her all warm and cozy in the garage and rode the bike to work>>

[Egon Spengler]

I picked up 10 bags of wood pellets in her for the pellet stove... loaded them all in the back seat... also have some snow covered roads around here from yesterday so I was fishtailing up a storm as usual!

[fastblackmerc]

Other than driving it ................ nothing.

Am collecting parts for some serious modding this spring......

Meziere Electric Water Pump w/ 30amp fuse

New DB Electrical 250amp alternator w/ 250 amp circuit breaker

4 gauge alternator & ground upgrade

H1 HID's for the new foglights

Upgrade the 4 extra LED taillights to LED bulbs w/ 13 LEDs

Install LED bulbs & strips in my spare instrument cluster

Finish smoothing out the spare set of rear calipers for powder coating

Rebuild the 31 spline posi to get it ready for installation with Moser 31 spline axels

New rear shocks

New rear slotted rotors to match the Wilwoods up front

3 gauge "A" pillar pod (tranny temp, A/F ratio & boost gauge)

Intake spacer

I think that's all for awhile... :D

[justbob]

Took her to the spa. Then I dropped it off at the dealer because i'm sick of the horrible miss at WOT and it's "shortening" cold out!

[Paul T. Casey]

Daily check of the speedo, still works in triple digits.

[CBT]

Holy ****znits, lol!


Daily check of the speedo, still works in triple digits.

[Paul T. Casey]

Got a nice straight stretch on the way to work, slight rise, just off a mean corner. Average day, slide off the corner at about 40, nail it to the top of the rise, check speedo, if it doesn't say 110 to 115, something is wrong with the car.

[Glockafella]

Washed and vaccumed it in the garage...Ready for her new owner to pick up.

[tbone]

I bought a frame for my official certificate and hung it on the wall over my desk.

Yesterday, I glued the little rubber thing that goes above the steering wheel to block the light from the guages back in with super glue. It's been bugging me for 2 years.
Then I drove it fairly hard for about 2 hours, listening to my new exhaust sing.

[ctrlraven]

Didn't need a flush just a good brake bleed job. Front caliber bleed valves were seized up, one was snapped off so I had to order new front calibers blah........ oh well at least it's safe to drive it home and not stuck at the dealership. Had the shop next door to my work order the calibers for me at cost price and will get them to install the new calibers and bleed the system sometime next week.

[Big Black Beast]

Just drove to work.
Then to 7-11 for a hot dog.

[Big Black Beast]

That's an awesome way to wake up!:)

If you go get caught going over 100 here, you get arrested.:mad:

[DOOM]

Looked at my brand new wilwoods and :drool: for about 10min. :D
Cant wait to put these on!

[Bluerauder]

Just drove it to work and parked it. Will fill it up with Sunoco 93 this evening on the way home.

[vkirkend]

Drove it to work.

[Spectragod]

Define cheap, I have a set.........

[TAKEDOWN]

Just stared and admired her, I'll probably give her a hug later on tonight.

[tbone]

I washed her today. These 2 guys walked up drooling all over her and wanted to know all about her. They said she was "bad ass"........ No kidding!

[CBT]

stared at it in my garage.
Since i havent driven it since early november. :bigcry:

......fail.....:d

[LOWBUCKMM]

i have not seen my car since early jan.

[fastblackmerc]

I got mad at mine today. It keeps burning out the drivers side foglight every 3-4 weeks.:mad2:

Getting water inside?

[Black Dynamite]

Getting water inside?


Yeah, but the weird part is both sides have moisture in them and have had for years. Why the problem now?:confused:

[Glockafella]

I sold it! :bigcry::bigcry::bigcry:

[RoyLPita]

Drove it to work only to find out that the rear end cover is seeping after turning 74k.

[james79stang]

Marauder Rick came over to my work and seafaomed her, then I got her cleaned up for a trip with Marauder Rick to go to Abilene to meet up with MM_Matt and go to the world of wheels then to Sonic maybe to show our MM off!!

[a_d_a_m]

Removed the "anti-theft" valve stem cap on the low tire on the Marauder (just got new keys in the mail today), aired it up. Checked for any apparent damage that may have occurred while it was in storage over the past couple weeks, none found. Will pull it out of the garage tomorrow, most likely.

Changed wipers on the Magnum.

[boatmangc]

Got it cleaned up for the trip to see BB King and Buddy Guy this Tuesday night, loaded the addresses in the GPS, plugged in the iPod and Sirius Stilletto 2 and put the cover on it.

[MercOut]

Drove in the snow today for the first time in the MM. Its my DD, sorry guys

[RUSTY]

Drove my salt covered MM to work at 05:00 am at -8 fahrenheit.
I hate to do it to the poor car

[Davesvt2000]

I looked at mine under it's cover to make sure it was still there :P

[Egon Spengler]

Looked at my odometer and threw up in my mouth a little... 99,200 miles... I am dreading seeing the 100,000 mark!

[a_d_a_m]

I am dreading seeing the 100,000 mark! +1. I should hit it sometime this summer, quite possibly during my trek to or from the St. Thomas Assembly Plant tour.

[tbone]

I got a hand job while driving to a buddy's place.


I love the center console and bucket seats, but sometimes I miss the bench seat in my Grand Marquis.........:coolman:

[dohc324ci]

washed both the MM and the Mustang. Had to scrap a bunch crap off of my tail pipe/long plastic piece on the side from the New Years day drag. Whatever they put on the track that stuff gets all over the undercarriage....

[69428SCJ]

Washed it and took the clay bar to it (spent all day rubbing on the Cobra). Hoping to at least put step 1 of Meguiar's 3-step on there before the GTG.

[4play]

ive got 162000 miles on my car and she still runs like a top.

[freakstatus]

Took off my winter tires today.

[tbone]

I wish I made love to my car AGAIN today!

(My wife is getting suspicious of the time I spend in the garage!)

Sssshhhhh!!!!!!

[ctrlraven]

Drove in the snow today for the first time in the MM. Its my DD, sorry guys
I put almost 100k miles on mine as a DD on top of the 40k that was on it when I bought it. Drove it to work today with the snow tires on cause my other car's tires need to be replaced before dealing with any snow/ice.

[Embassy]

So basically what did you do? Can be anything from changing a bulb to installing a s/c kit and even breaking wind in it lol

Nothing because she is in hibernation. Just an occasional start-up.


The DD recently got new treads and will have its oil changed soon. Up next, a full detail and polishing.

[TAKEDOWN]

Upset that there is a film of salt on it!!!

[John Nero]

went into the shop today for a hole new fuel system( will post pics when it is done) pump - lines - injectors - rails

[bob6364]

I allow my wife to drive MY car to work each day....OH and she is allowed to pay the note on her too.....:D

[guspech750]

I went into "Wide Open Throttle" mode for a few momnents this morning on my way to work. Vrrroooommmmm.

[B.C. Bake]

Went to an abandon road I know about and tested her again. Unofficial, 14 or 14.3,,, had to clock her myself...so go figure, but it was fun, I'm pretty sure I'm close. Nice day out here in Vegas.....:)

[Motorhead350]

Changed the oil and filter. I got fed up with a neighbor constantly parking the driveway that used to be mine so I purposely spilled oil all over the driveway when I did the oil change in it.

[a_d_a_m]

[CooLManZilla]

Changed the 30 amp relay fuse that keeps blowing.... and No one can figure out why.

[69428SCJ]

Drove it, wished it didn't have crappy early 03 production paint...Might accidently put some swirl marks in it in an attempt to get rid of the spidering. :mad:

[JamesHecker]

Washed and vaccumed it in the garage...Ready for her new owner to pick up.

Now that's just sad :-(

[Bradley G]

I finally fixed the heat!:banana:

[4play]

.........why yes how did you know? were you one of them? lol

[DOOM]

Just cleaned my seats using Zaino cleaner and leather conditioner.
Wow this stuff is good! :up:

[Motorhead350]

Looked at it. Drove the truck today.

[LIGHTNIN1]

Looked at it. Drove the truck today.

Same here. The wash job and floor boarding comes tomorrow after not driving it for a week due to weather.:D

[fordfrk347]

Changed my emergency brake shoes and put in my new axles/ bearings....waiting on UPS to deliver my 4:10's before I reassemble. Never had to replace emergency brake shoes before....would have been a pain without the axles out!

[bigbillybbs]

I practiced having babies in the back seat! ;)

[CBT]

Then stared under the hood! :cool4:

[-Matt-]

That'll make you go blind sir

[ctrlraven]

Got the new front calipers installed yesterday.

[J D]

I actually just changed the oil and oil filter this evening, and fitted on the oil deflector, which I was only able to do AFTER I pulled the filter. That thing is a pain in the ass to put on!

Tomorrow I'll probably clean the battery terminals, and swap the JLT back to to stock (I currently only have the pipe that connected to the stock air box) and clean the air filter.

[DOOM]

About to violate the gas tank. :eek:

[CRUZTAKER]

So basically what did you do?

Sat a cold can of Labatts on the roof prior to stepping in to the Avitor off to a game of skill...



About to violate the gas tank. :eek:

Drove it to work only to find out that the rear end cover is seeping after turning 74k.

Update: I serviced the rear end and found the axle shafts are still good. :banana:

[visionmercury]

just finished up changing the gear oil with mobil1 and installing my ford racing alum cover :)

[jabird56]

Kept it in my heated garage today and used the SuperDuty and ATV to have fun in the snow.

[Mr. Man]

Cleared the snow off it.

[-Matt-]

looked at today, then got in the vic and went to the store

[Ms. Denmark]

Blew it a kiss while I replaced the Aviator's floor mats with new winter ones. Might have detected just a twinge of jealousy?

Muffin man gets no love! :alone:

[mrjones]

I walked past mine several times, and felt bad about not driving it. I washed it two weeks ago, and haven't moved it since. Maybe tomorrow it will get some exersize. Maybe even tonite.

[Bluerauder]

Cleared the snow off it.
I haven't even gotten that far. :o

[Raven34]

Had nowhere to go but drove my beauty around the neighborhood just for fun this afternoon even though it was raining.

[RoyLPita]

I replaced the battery after 4 years of abuse.

[Bluerauder]

Wash and wax. First time it has been this clean in months. :o

[ImpalaSlayer]

Wash and wax. First time it has been this clean in months. :o

i just wish i could drive mine :(

[LeoVampire]

Cleared the snow off it.

And got up early to use the Taurus to get the new Interstate Battery for it this morning before the other half had to go to work.

But waiting for a warmer day to go out and put it in then pull out the fuel pump fuse and crank it over for a bit before I actualy let her start up.

She hasn't been started once since November. Miss driving her around and feel like I am not whole without being in her! :alone:

[Zack]

I put a Spec 3+ Clutch on the Cobra Engine I have on the Stand.

[Pops]

Sold more stuff so I have more money to do a little more work!

[Mr. Man]

Pushed the snow off it...... again

[massacre]

Made another template. This time for the custom heater box, which in conjunction with the ROBO hydroboost mod will result in a 5.4.4V being installed in a Panther:

Make sure you use silicone and not the supplied gasket that comes with the diff cover. The gasket will leak for sure, don't ask me how I know. lol


Waved bye to the MM as I pulled out of the driveway in the Taurus. Took the dealership sticker and tag frame off of the Taurus. Hope to get the windows tinted very soon and change out the muffler.

It is the same type of gasket you would see for our intakes. Reusable with rubberized ridges to make sure nothing fluid like can get past it.

One melling oil pump to go.

[cougar9150]

Took my timing cover back to the powder coating house to make it match the Cam covers. Hopefully they use the correct top coat this time. Will be in the garge cleaning and getting ready for some minor projects this weekend.

I also setup plans to go buy my eaton this weekend.

[Vortex]

Got mine inspected today. Managed to slip thru with no front plate again, hooray!

[Ms. Denmark]

It's in the shop for air suspension failure.:(

[tbone]

I had my air suspension failure last year. Pump and sensor. OUCH!

[ntd]

[Ms. Denmark]

I had my air suspension failure last year. Pump and sensor. OUCH! What did that set you back? The compressor is shot for sure. Have to wait 'til Monday for a new one. Looking at $600 bucks there.........hope everything else is working.:eek:

Well I have not driven it in over a week but I did start polishing my rims.

Got a new inspection sticker on mine today. This was the first one with a registration in Galveston county which requires an emissions test as well.

Then I topped it off with 93 octane Valero right before they moved the price up $ .10.

[boatmangc]

Drove it 300 miles with my new Aric tune, mileage went from 16.2 Mpg to 20.8 at 80-85 MPH,
No noticeable loss in power.
Love that car

[musclemerc]

Installed new plugs, cop connectors, jlt pre filter, fuel filter, and cleaned the tb and maf.

[babbage]

Dayum! Someone getting ready for the drags? Did you get the Granatelli solid cop connectors? (those are nice)


I've ordered (yesterday actually) a new transmission cooler (22,000 BTU) plus thermal bypass and also orderd 2 of those nice new cibie mazada fog lights on ebay that fastblackmerc found (thank-you) they are an exact match for ours.. On deck: new front and rear tires

[Drewstang]

Last night and yesterday I installed the Naake coilovers on the front. I also installed the Wilwood brakes on both sides and hooked the Addco swaybar back up on the front. Today I need to finish the brake line on the driver's side and get started on the 4.10 install. I'm hoping to have the rear end wrapped up today and install the QA1 Naake rear shocks and rear Addco sway bar. My Pioneer AVIC-910BT came back from Pioneer Service yesterday, so it will be installed sometime soon as well.

Waiting on the cam covers, timing cover, headers to come back from the powder coaters. Then I need to buy a rear cooling mod, motor mounts, stainless steel header bolts, O2 sensors, intake and header gaskets, oil cooler gasket, and about a million other small parts......

I have these too. Just as good as granatelli except $50 cheaper.

Today I drove it to work to get the cobwebs out of it.

[wx4caster]

Major detailing including taking off wheels and cleaning inside wheel wells.:D

[CWright]

Started by cleaning out the Marauder's Den. Then washed and put on a coat of wax. Will polish off tomorrow.

[Ms. Denmark]

Picked it up from the dealer with a brand new air compressor and a much lighter bank account.LOL Going in to the shop on Friday for the suspension work.......finally!

[Pops]

Collected more money from parts sold. Won,t be to long before the GM is roaming the streets now. A few small changes coming for her!

[LeoVampire]

Took out the original battery. Used Purple Power cleaner, a hose and scrub brush to clean out the battery box then sprayed it with silicone.

Put the new Megatron Interstate battery in and hooked it up.

Pulled the fuel pump fuse. Checked the fluids and then cranked the engine for 10 seconds which is all it took to get oil pressure. Pu the fuel pump fuse back in then started her up.

No unusual noises and as smooth as can be seeing she sat for 5 months out in the open and never being started.

Put the new Pro-guard on I got from Dennis while she was at idle and the new Gorilla Lug nut locks I wanted.

When she was at temp checked the tranny fluid and did a check on the coolant system to make sure it was up to snuff and did a PH test on the brake fluid and it was perfect.

Took her to the parts store to buy new cleaning stuff and she ran good.

Brought her home and parked her. She will sit there until I get the new rear end cover and gear oil in her. No runs on the highway till that job is done.

Today is the new Spoiler for the Taurus. Yesterday was the new Stereo system and figuring out how the damm thing worked LOL!!

[Pops]

Sent money for T Bolt parts. It may be next year before the current motor project is done. The old new motor will have to do till then.:D

[ctrlraven]

Drove it to work and just turned around and looked at it since it's parked about 8-9ft away from my desk. lol

[Egon Spengler]

My old job I used to park outside my window and stare at her... now at my new job my office is in the dead center of the building! I can't look at my car, but I am safe if a tornado passes through the area!

Drove it to work and just turned around and looked at it since it's parked about 8-9ft away from my desk. lol

[xopher]

It was actually Saturday, but I reconnected my battery to start it up and listen to it and then move my car a few feet, then disconnected it again and removed the LCM before covering her back up for a few more weeks. Sending my LCM for repair so my lights will work again! :D

[LSp8]

Currently searching for the Mach1 chin spoiler and a rear view camera to go with my new pioneer in-dash GPS system. :type:

Just ordered a new OEM decklid spoiler (primed) can't wait for my dealer to do the install :D

[Stranger in the Black Sedan]

I can't publish what I did, in a family friendly forum.

[breeze]

Drove it to work and just turned around and looked at it since it's parked about 8-9ft away from my desk. lol

now thats love.lol

but man im looking for a pioneer in dash cd player the 1 i want they dont make it anymore.:puke:..but i did my aeros and order my amp :D

[ctrlraven]

now thats love.lol

but man im looking for a pioneer in dash cd player the 1 i want they dont make it anymore.:puke:..but i did my aeros and order my amp :D

It's going to get love once I finally cut out the bottom shelf in my garage and move my tires so it will fit in it and that's where it shall stay until the 4.10s get installed.

Drove the Taurus to work today, such a pleasure to drive/cruise in, even with AWD.

[RoyLPita]

Better late than never. Saturday, I washed the MM, cleaned the throttle body and the K&N air filter.

[xopher]

Tuesday I got the LCM reinstalled and all of the cables reattached and situated the new external relay mod (courtesey of fastblackmerc). Reattached the battery and restarted the motor and had a temp spike after months in storage. I'll have to belch the coolant in the next day or two. Hit it with the California Car Duster since it seems like a waste to wash it right now. Went through a half tank of gas in less than 24 hours, a feat which takes me closer to a week in my winter beater. :burnout:

[FordNut]

Changed the oil. Switched from RP synthetic to Valvoline conventional on advice from my tuner. Ran the Valvoline for breakin, never leaked a drop. Switched to synthetic, started getting a little seepage. Hoping for the best, it's a lot easier than pulling the engine to seal the pan.

[BUCKWHEAT]

Postman delivered my new FRPP 3:73's to replace the 4:30's. Picked up my wheels after the shop installed the new Nitto tires, 295s on the back & 235s on the front. Put the old OEM 10k mile fronts on my Kazerra rims that have the Nitto 305 DRs on the wider Kazerra rears.
This weekend, I hope to replace four sets of brake pads, new plugs, clean MAF & the K&N.

[guspech750]

I drove again just like I do everyday, and everyday I do this:D

[CanadaMarauder]

Washed with dish soap, clay bar, 1st coat of Zaino...only 2 more to go...She will be on the road APRIL 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!

[-Matt-]

Looked at it as i walked by her and got into the CVPI to drive to work

[Go2GuyFL]

Replaced the bulbs over the license plates in both cars as they were each burnt out. Very strange.

[Leadfoot281]

I put tags on mine. The old ones expired in July '09. Due to road construction (and winter) I haven't driven or started mine since last July.

Hopefully they get my road paved this year.

[LIGHTNIN1]

Put the new sticker on the tag and cranked her for a few minutes. Had it a year now.:cake:

[Mr. Man]

Looked at it and decided it needs to be vacuumed out before Kentucky trip.

[1 Bad Merc]

I kicked it after I saw the coolant laying on the ground! She's an evil one....

[Speed]

[massacre]

Worked a little bit on the pass. side half of my coolant crossover tube, from a markviii.
Had to cut off the markviii bracket and weld on a Mach 1 bracket to match the other half which is stock mach 1. Keeps both temp sender bungs that way.
It's done I was just cleaning it up some before primer.

[Mr. Man]

Took it for a ride and made Ms.D drive it to get her impressions of the new suspension work. She agrees it no longer pushes like a dump truck in the corners. Still not in Porsche territory yet but gaining on it.:)

[stryker]

:cool: In present time washing The M-panther, vaccum the inside while I listen to music with my iphone !ups! i knew I forgot something in the first post of this thread, i buy an itrip for the iphone so the music stored in the iphone i an listening through the radio of my Panther, later I will post pics. :banana::rock::cool5::cool3::s ing::burnout:

[Blackened300a]

Full compound, wax, engine and interior detail. Tomorrow is the first car show of the season and I plan to be prepared to start 2010 with a win.

Ended up replacing all the brake pads before installing the new Nittos. Looked like some front brake pistons were binding up since inside pads didn't have the same wear as the outside pads. Shot some solvent on them. They seeemed to bite hard after I warmed them up a bit. If they don't all loosen up, then back to Todd for re-do. Nittos seem quieter and firmer than the OEM BFG's.

[guspech750]

I moved it down the driveway so I could cut lots of wood with my compound miter saw. The I moved it back up the drive way. Sounds exciting right?

[Mr. Man]

It is if it's a sliding compound miter saw with laser guides

[FordNut]

Changed the oil in Nancy's MM.

[ntd]

Moved the coolant tank, moved the horns, made brackets to mount the heat exchanger and mounted the trans cooler.

[03blackvegas]

I wiped it down, and drove it.

[Black_Out]

Installed a kenwood stereo, mtx 10" subwoofer and amp, and all 4 mtx speakers in my girlfriends car.

Welded a thrush glasspack to replace her muffler with about a thousand holes in it as well.

Worked an 11 hour day landscaping.

Came home and got on MM.net :D

[guspech750]

It sure is. I would not have bought anything else:D

[Mr. Man]

It sure is. I would not have bought anything else:D
Must admit I'm a bit jealous. I've gone through a few chop boxes over the years and could never justify the cost of a sliding miter saw and the room it takes in the truck and the chance that the ways get bent vs. a 12 in chop box. The compound saw is great for crown molding though and that is were I really miss it. I do have one on my Santa list but so far he hasn't come through with one yet. Maybe this Christmas :beer:

[Drewstang]

Dropped in the new engine and trans, bled the brakes with all new fluid, bolted up the power steering pump and A/C compressor. Tomorrow, I want it ready to start. :D

[DOOM]

New exhaust!!! :D

[babbage]

New real axles, seals, bearings, new ebrake assys, new carrier assy, new gear oil.

[a_d_a_m]

Picked up the Magnum from the shop after a transfer case flush & washed it.
Checked my garage to make sure the Marauder hadn't been stolen.

[Ms. Denmark]

Mr. Man lubed up the hood latch to see if it will stop the dreaded hood squeak. Results pending.;)

I drove the Aviator with the sun roof open. Well..... maybe I did that for myself. :)

[breeze]

[PonyUP]

Kept her in the garage away from the downtown traffic today, may run her to work tomorrow though

[LeoVampire]

Today for the first time in more than 5 and a half years she became a garage Queen and was thrilled to put her in there.

No more worries about the upstairs neighbors kid's and no more fights with them about keeping them away from the Mistress!

Talk about a load of stress gone from my life!

[Pops]

Nothing but walk past it a bunch of times and post a video slide show of it. Forgot that I drolling over the pictures of some new slicks!:D

[Mr. Man]

Took it to the car wash to get the pollen, plum tree flowers, and forsythia flowers washed off. got doggie food:puppy: and parked it back in the driveway at which point the wind kicked up clouds rolled in and it started to rain.:argh: Now the car is covered with pollen, plum tree flowers and forsythia flowers.:bigcry:

[Ask_The_Shack]

I sold my car. :(

[tbone]

Installed the white headlight and fog light bulbs.

[ntd]

Mounted the supercharger, heat exchanger & Bosch intercooler pump, wired the intercooler pump, ran the water lines. Installed the GT fuel pump mounted & wired the BAP. Next up is change the spark plugs, wire the new MAF and install the injectors then it's off to the dyno:woohoo:

[RoyLPita]

[musclemerc]

Removed all the stock Control arms and finished up boxing them in and started the reinstall.

[stryker]

[computertech]

Peeked in my garage, gave it a pat on the spoiler and told it "tomorrow is the day" Sunny mid 70`s expected hereon Long Island ,i`m siked for a good cruise:burnout:

[LANDY]

The Marauder takes 6 quarts of oil, not 5.:)

[Ms. Denmark]

Spent 5 hours detailing it, then Mr. Man and I took it out to the first Cops & Rodders car show of the season in Hackettstown, NJ. Had 150+ car turn out! We had the one and only Marauder. Parked directly across from the one and only ImpalaSS. Lot's of fun!!;)

[guspech750]

I picked up my daughter in it today. 1st driving it in a week. Sure felt nice.

[massacre]

Custom heater box.

[Ms. Denmark]

Taking a loooooong drive today!!;)

[LeoVampire]

Wash wax and detailed her for the cruise show today.

And put on the spare recharged K&N filter I have.

I change them out every year and keep a spare cleaned and ready for it. The difference in the filter after a year in looks is amazing you can see the dirt build up easily.

And cleaned the MAF sensor as well.

[Brian H]

Looked at it thru the pouring rain!!!

[PonyUP]

Dreamt about driving it while I was traveling in Atlanta, and she is parked in the garage in Chicago
