What have you done to your P5 today?

lucky me.. I ran over some sort of massive cacoon of intertwined metal on the freeway this morning. It sounded like aluminum. Checked my tires out for cuts when I got to work but really couldn't see much due to lack of light... sounded like barbed wire going down and under my car.

Thought about painting sidemarkers but ya know what? I like the extra visual notification in darkness for safety.

wiring the fender turn signals to be on as a parking light and flash with the turn signals still ftw :)
 
P5 is being used as a stuff mover today. 5 gallon buckets of paint and spackle, tools, air compressor.... in the back seat & hatch... poor thing looks lowered and can barely zoom :(

Seems like another 'how-to' is in the works.
 
Yesterday I changed the oil. Also had the snow tires mounted on the bronze mp3 wheels. Put em on the car and they look great. Only problem is they rub occassionally, so I think I'm gonna put the works back on until I rip out the suspension. (dunno)

this is STILL on my to-do list... but i don't play with electrical/wiring, so it will be on the back burner for a little while. however, with all the extra wiring that's likely going to happen over winter, this will probably get thrown in finally. :)

AKYellow - I have the how-to on my comp at home. i'll try to remember to post it tonight. It is very simple, but as mentioned above, I don't play around with electricity.

and yes, 200 kph is about 125mph
 
Cleaned my EGR and IAC valves(idles better than I can remember), changed the spark plugs and put in my new headlights (thanks MyZmZm). This weekend, if the weather allows, wash and wax, get the Rockblockers on my new investment and take some pictures to post.

never let them dangle! Always use a bungee to hang them from something.
