surprised your cable-box/DSL/FiOS is still operative for more than 911 use.
We had a power outage for 4 days and I was the only person in the entire area w power. And I had WiFi.! Nothing stopped me playing my fortnite on big screen.
I did let my next door neighbor stay in my guest room though. She’s old.

Think there’s like 3 generator people like me within 10 blocks.
Worth it

I don’t know much about internet, all I pay for is 200mbps. No phone or anything. I have their internet cord into it surfboard Motorola modem, and that is plugged into my wrt3200acm.

As long as I had Power to my modem:router it all works. I stream everything.

We (me and the car) did our first semi sideways 3mph walk thru an intersection at 4500rpm. It was kinda fun dropping the clutch, barely moving, and the back tires lighting it up and crawling down the street. Moving crew at the intersection loved it. #Coyote.


Always wanted to do the crip walk in a muscle car.

Finally, washed my car (even though it'll snow again tomorrow). Here are more photos of my temporary spoiler. I cannot wait until I can put my summer wheels and tires back in next month or so.

Looks great. I think I've seen you around before. In the metro area?

Ordered 2 more Michelin Primacy Tour all season V rated tires. I've been impressed with the two installed a few weeks back. I hope to get them on by the weekend.

Completed the springs and dampers install, got the garage cleaned up, and got everything put away. Took a quick drive to make sure there were no noises and get the initial impression. I need to make an appointment for the drive on lift to clock the bushings and then take it in to get an alignment. Researching the clocking process and it sounds like it might be a chore as the lift can make getting access to the bushings difficult. More scouring of the forums is on the menu.

I put my stock downpipe back on my car. So my o2 sensors went from oem, to aftermarket back to oem.

My long term fuel trim is high. Do you think I need new o2 sensors? I never changed the crush washers, did I need too? Or just order new o2 sensors.

Could it be because it’s 30* outside? Or probsbly needs new o2 crush washers

wait, you're talking about the 'captive' washers? those aren't strictly speaking 1-time use.

Wait, are you running two different sets of tires?
Yes. Had a damaged Pirelli all season on the rear with 27K miles, and replaced two rears two weeks ago. Was going to wait until March to put 2 more new ones on the front, but I noticed my inspection sticker expires at the end of February. The new tires have a deep tread, and are super quiet. The steering has been a little squirrely so it's time. $599 for two more, OTD. I was just hoping to squeeze a few weeks out to pay cash rather than raid my savings, but this needs done.

Do you think they last, 2 installs? From oem to aftermarket and then back to oem?

only thing is my friend is a damn gorilla and he made them extremely tight on aftermarket we used his lift lol washers had no chance if they are limited to a couple uses.

I made them tight as I could get them when I just put them back on oem.


does weather impact long term fuel? Ie. Winter make it add fuel? Reason I ask, driving around it was4-6% long term trims.
I know the downpipe is seated firmly on the doughnut gasket. Don’t think there’s any leaking

I don't know the torque values off hand but it ain't much. finger tight then 1/2 turn or so. probably on the order of 18ft/lb, maybe as high as 25.
