Filled her up, put 300 miles on her, and filled her up again. I got my license back yesterday after a year restriction from an Fing DUI. Then my buddy and I gave our cars a wash and took a couple pictures. New in sig

I blew a .03 after 2 beers, pulled over for failure to signal a lane change. Just that it was 3 weeks before my 21st, or I never would have got it. I'm not stupid enough to drive drunk

Installed EBS Yellowstuff brake pads (front and rear) and new rotors (also front and rear) - All I can say is: WOW!
Full Disclosure: I had already installed braided steel lines and DOT 5.1 (Ester based) brake fluid (last year!) but my bird's brakes still needed help - this was the key.

As for today, cleaned the interior after spilling a drink in my seat at the gas station.
just happy it didn't get all over the floors and places that weren't easy to clean

Stupidly bought 305 / 45 / 18s for the rear....
Hate myself for doing that, should have stuck with 35 or went up to 40..
Those giant tires are also causing the ABS to go crazy and giving me an ABS inoperative light after 5 minutes of driving.
I also bled the brakes and replaced the fluid in an attempt to fix the problem, didn't help. Cleaned out lots of dirty green fluid though.

^ With the staggered sized wheel/tires on my Trans Am, I get the same problem. My ABS engages every time I stopped. Until I unplugged the Sensors at the rear wheels. I'm running C6ZO6 wheels: 18"x9.5" (275/35R18) front and 19"x12" (325/30R19) rear.

Still think I should have stuck with 35s or 40s, note to self. Never buy tires that are slightly off size, even if they are on sale.
