Not S550 related at all, but I just recovered some long lost pics of my first drive coast to coast.

My trusty Lexus LS430 going too far up a tree hauling road in NoCal:

Somewhere in OR I think. PCH:

Cars my uncle was building and had built; at his local hanger. He built a lot of planes too.
550 Spider has a flat six vs the standard 4cyl.

Another project:

Rebuilt bike and one of his planes:

He used to race professionally decades ago. Sadly these pics where taken around 2015 , its nearly all been sold off now. He's pretty deep into his 80s. Just can't control them anymore.

It's sad. Yet I'm so happy to have recovered these pics again!

Shot on my very old Nikon.

Washed the car and gave her a quick aqua coat. No way was I doing a full wax. Too cold and damp. 😁

Can I ask, what is this in the drain holes please? I was drying the inner door and seals, and I thought it was rust at first, but it is only on the drivers side door. Passenger side is all clean. I was tempted to hook it out with a small screwdriver. 🤔

Really want to see more pics of the Prowler - such a cool under rated car
I posted more pics of the Prowler under my build thread The Silver Haired Mistress And The Purple Princess. I fell that would be more appropriate there , due to not being mustang related . @1 old racer

Looks good 👍

I can't see a catch can, do you have one ?
Thanks. I don’t. Been debating on whether to get one or not. If I do it would be the FP catch can but not sure if it’s worth doing for daily driving.

How do you mouse proof a stored car?
I've had problems with them in the past
I start the storage season by doing a deep clean/purge of my garage, getting rid of any food sources or hide spots before it gets cold. I also look for any holes/entry spots and plug them. After that, I'll place mint bags around the jackstands, exhaust pipes, and one in the car.

I'm still active in my garage throughout winter, so I'll occasionally check for signs of mice as well.

In preparation for the arrival of some custom leather seats, (nothing radical...perforated centers, stitching to match the paint) I scored a set of perforated leather door panels on EBay (didn't know these existed, have only seen solid leather until now)and dyed the stitching to match the paint. May have to do another round of dye, didn't get quite as dark as I wanted.

Finally deleted the resonator in favor of a H-pipe. I painted the welds with some high temp exhaust paint. Figured it couldn’t hurt 🤷🏻‍♂️

I went from the Roush axle back that I got tired of, too loud for me, to the Ford performance touring axle back, too quiet then added the H-pipe to go along with it. Perfect. Only a tad louder. No where near as loud as the Roush. Just right, imo

Got a set of McGard lug nuts since my Ford Performance ones are already beat to shit after like two services, lol. Same crappy pressed on cap design. McGard ones are much nicer, and seem to be pretty durable. One of the packages ripped open suddenly and they bounced all over my concrete driveway and sustained basically zero damage, so that's a good sign.

@KingKona and @EmCel and Brittany did a drive thru Shenandoah National Forest by way of Skyline Drive. The leaves were way past their prime but I hadn't been up there in quite a while. Here's a couple shots. The fog was so thick (WAY worse than photo, couldn't even see car or trees on far side of road) we couldn't see even 100 ft.

That is gorgeous!

Have you decided on the best MyColor to go with that paint? :wink:
