Got my valve stem fixed for 12$... Now my tire pressure sensor light is permanently on *shrugs*

I'll just nab some political signs 'morrow.

I did it!
upper grill has been blocked
I used political coroplast, plus 2 pieces of cardboard wrapped in ductape for a gap filler. I'll get pictures later.

Good work, and you saved $7 on coroplast!

I did a 10 mile drive. Engine didn't explode, I think I'll block the bottom for the winter with the other half of the sign.

If I had more than one sign (I got it 1 day too late, they got rid of them all), then I would do most of the underbody...

since I did it, and have driven a while... my car feels different... coasting goes farther, high speed changes don't seem as painful, and my car warms up faster
I'm rather happy with that.

Good for you! Now what's your next mod?
Try pizza pans? Good for 1.5 mpg for me.
