What have you done to your MS3 today?

hit a nasty pothole on market st. in philly last night, got the left front pretty bad. No flat tire or dented wheel, but something is most definitely not right. I had a shimmy in the steering wheel when I went over 75mph and this morning there is a slight rattle. I couldnt see anything in the dark, but tonight I'm gonna jack it up and see. my guess from driving it is either I damaged the tie rod end or blew the front strut (bilstiens with tax refund? hmmm...)

might have bent the rim a little even if it isn't noticable by eye. When you take it off, push roll it along a flat surface and see if it wobbles any, dod it with a little pace to it.

Ok this is a good one. Finished Corksport tback install Sunday with my son. Drove a bit Sunday and today alot. Woiwee! Yes It is what i hoped. Just ordered mm. and the sun is a shining in my world. No leaks no cel and performance a plenty. With other mods this car is becoming a hoot to drive. Now to tune,mmm mmm.
 
Painted my EZPass transponder flat black. It looks much better than an obnoxious white plastic box on my windshield.

Made a noise much like nails on a chalkboard by backing over a curb that was just a millimeter higher than my exhaust tip.
EEEeeeEEeeK!
 
Ordered wheels and tires I should be posting again about the fifteenth or so. and a small stone hit the windshield yesterday. I see the dusty mark but I don't want to wipe it off and find the inevitable chip. The window chips suck because when ever you drive into the sun you see them. booo
 
got an oil change and got my windshield cowl fixed so it doesnt rattle anymore

didn't have a change to give it the total wash and wax, just had to clean it up as best i could before the sun went down yesterday.

so, i went to get gas today and the attendent comes out, takes my card, starts pumping the gas, and before i could object slaps the squeegee on my windshield. i yelled at him (about killed him) and he looked at me funny. bastard left streaks all over it. (headshake
 
Okay, so I'm a day late...
Yesterday I gave mine it's first full polish, wax, and buff. Looks super clean, smooth as glass. I'm gonna take some photos later.
