Still needs to be wet sanded and buffed but I wanted to get it back on the road for a few days first. I couldnt stand her being gone for another week.

I looked at it in the garage and thought to myself how much fun it would be to go for a drive. Then I looked down at that cast Damn cast from surgery was on my right arm and the car is an m6. Then I cried a little on the inside.....Its been almost a month with no T/A I am starting to go thru withdrawals.

Started relocating the fuse blocks in the Trans Am. Removed almost 15' of wire loom and about a mile of electrical tape. Labeled all the wires and got all the damned hot glue off from the case that the wires go into to pass thru the firewall. My fingers hurt! Been working for 12 hours mostly alone. Depending when I get home and how I feel, I might start cutting wires in the afternoon. SMH What a mess that **** is!

Did an oil change and tried the Penzoil Ultra, as it was only $2 more than the Platinum. Isn't it weird how cars seem to run better after you wash or otherwise service them? Also, made a friend who drives a new Fusion Sport feel like crap by reminding him about gas mileage and performance numbers that came up on a trip to Irvine...

Wash, vacuum, detail, nitpicked the visual imperfections, and dreamed of the parts I want to order for it, starting with another catback, the Dynomax muffler I have is way too tame for my taste lol
