Updates! I know its been a while..
Got new LEDS, swapped out the bulb today. So I'll see if it worked tonight.
Vise was Delivered last Saturday, so I have a free style mill. And the Drill press is working.
Been working on a friends car, door has been started to rust through the paint, so that has been the project last few days (week basically).
Wheel skirts are still on, haven't changed them anyway yet.
Just filled up today, 25.77 MPG versus 25.41 mpg last fill up. I drove more eco this time, but we hit sub 40's (37 degrees to be exact) in the morning this week. Killing my warm up times. I've made the decision to swap over to a full synthetic trans fluid. I'm do for a change anyway. So I ordered new filters, gasket, and picked up some Mobil 1 full syn ATF. The normal 75K+ valvoline/castrol was 5.xx/per qt so 8.99 for the full synthetic isn't too bad. But considering trans fluid as thick/thicker than oil, it should make a big difference for warm up times (when fluid is thickest/more resistive).
On the bright side, by this time last year I was down to upper 21/lower 22 MPG so I'm about 3.5 mpg above last year. I wish I had more gas receipts from over winter, but I only found the ones I had saved from when got the car last summer. oh well. Its doing better than before, and thats what matters!
