Thank you! I can't believe the Anal Probe is "inspirational"

Anyway, finally got a free second after the Wheels of Italy car show yesterday, and decided to redo the belly pan and install an air dam. This time I stopped the belly pan at the control arms and made cutouts for the oil drain plug AND the oil filter. lol.

Also this dam is held on by zip ties as opposed to duct tape and there is a little choroplast bracket in the back center that keeps the thing from folding under in the wind.

Then I was going to visit my grandma when the Sheriff pulled me over for having the plate in the window. Greeeat.

Anyway, pics. Sorry for the harsh afternoon sun; I don't have the time to go out at sunset.

Later gator!

PS- over 390 miles on the tank, which means I've reached my goal of 40mpg!
