What have you done to your P5 today?

Sounds like you are hooked up in that department (drive2). As long as you enjoy the car, the repair is worth it.
I know my car is not perfect and perhaps one day I will have to put serious money into it, but I enjoy the hell out of it every day. So it makes it worthwhile.
Here's to a speedy recovery (cheers) (Jones Soda)

thread in the ga section
the ticket says 51 in a 45, but he told me 51 in a 35 or something. either way, i was sure i wasn't going 51, probably around 45. and he marked that it was dark outside- at 4 in the afternoon. maybe i just thought he said 35.

I took the liberty of fixing that post for you Mark 
I've got to say that the mazdaspeed sway bar is the single best thing I have done to my car in recent memory. So far, it's been quiet, and for a street setup, the handling is superb. I'm on Illuminas (set to 3f/4r) with Mazdaspeed springs, so the suspension has been decent, but always a little too pushy for me. Now I have just enough rotation when warranted, with still a hint of understeer when you overcook it. For a daily driver fwd car, it handles so well, and rides great

So sorry for the noob question but why does everyone comment on the sway bars being quiet? are some of them loud... how does a sway bar make noise?

you're too good to me!
So that's what I get to look forward to after Tuesday...
Oh well, it'll be worth it. I'm more worried about still not having lights...
they like to bind within their bushings through their range of motion, making a heck of a racket in the process.

Attempted to make my exhaust fit for the...6th time? I give the **** up. Gunna go put a bat through the window... lol
oh s***, man, still no luck with the exhaust? Maybe you need a 2nd set of hands? wish I could help..
Took mu lunch break and completely removed the roofrack mounts. only took about 45 minutes to remove everything and get stuff almost put back together.. As I was putting stuff back together, it started to rain. My Luck!!! So, I cleaned the tracks off and laid down a few strips of black vinyl tape. It just stopped raining and I checked the tape. it looks like it did the job. Now I just need the channel filler strips. car looks a little cleaner now.
tomorrow, I may try to wash/compound/wax her....if it's not 100 degrees again!
