My new route to work is way more Insight friendly.

Going to install my new custom lower grill block (like Turtle's only shiny black) by this weekend, that might boost my mpg a little and it will look way cool.
Nice! I'm so jealous of you two. If I get some time this weekend, I'll install your regen switch. Also, I haven't gotten around to baking that video card. If we get Ty's car and mine done and the garage is clear, bring it over and I'll install the switch and teach you some elite baking skills.

We need to install your shift knob before we worry about my regen button, lol!

Card's working fine for now btw. Thanks for bringing it over

Nah, especially not if Terminator's future is as bleak as it's looking. We'll get your stuff installed first, then I'll see if I want to do mine after.

Have you heard that noise it makes when accelerating? It's gotten a lot worse now. Can't tell if it's the engine or transmission.

I thought it was the tensioner pulley bearing. I'll have to listen to it one night this week.

Added the lower grill block this morning, looks pretty legit!

Sorry about the dust, I just finished mowing three yards before working on the car and I haven't had time to wash it yet.

Black Widow is still alive and kicking, sporting new 13" wheels and a partially re-done (spray can) paint job courtesy of my son.
