What have you done to your P5 today?

Towed her to the new house/garage.

^If you're going to pretend to drive your car, at least tow it so it's pointing the right way!


The hatch struts on my P5 have finally given up, I was hoping they'd start working again once it warmed up but it was -8C today and they still won't hold it up. Oh well, a well placed ski pole works just as well :P

Why is it so easy to picture evan smiling all goofy in the driver seat as it gets towed facing backwards... I've only seen pics of him and it's still hilarious in my mind
 
So, I think I made a rookie mistake in wiring my HID's. However, I won't find out until I pull the whole assembly out since I mounted the ballast and the igniter to the underside of the assembly... oops. (rolleyes)
 
Fo sho, and he probably made motor noises too :P

Evan is very serious business.

Actually, while my friends were pushing her into the garage I was making zoom-zoom sounds. But I was cheating and pretending it was a 20b. Brap-brap-brap!
 
gave her some lovin today started with a wash.. PICTURE DUMP!!!!!

Finally got the rear valance painted something I have wanted to do since I bought it but plasti-dip is hard to come by in Nova Scotia I had to some research and ended up using EZ Liner from Canadian tire read a review from someone from a MOPAR form

^^looks good id probably redo the tail lights they kinda seem like uneven coats, and as for the rear valance i used duplicolor trim paint. i think plastidip should be used for stuff that you are unsure if you want to leave them that color but for the valance i think it looks better black no matter what so trim paint is going to last longer.

Thanks, yeah the stuff I used is for truck bed liners so it should hold up for awhile when I read about this stuff the guy who used it shot it with a bb gun and it held up without any sign it happened. I also agree with you about painting the rear valance black they look amazing on all protege.

Killer license plate frame! GO HORSE!!!!!

Ahha thanks Colt's for life!
 
looks really good bigjohn, I like the purple evil M on the silver car. nice color

my car is crying for a wash :(
 
It just rained, bat-s*** CRAZY downpour!!!! However, I used it as an opportunity to give my Kumho Ecsta 4X's a good water test. I basically hugged the median of the highway the whole way home from school tonight in an attempt to catch some heavy puddles. The result... these tires are excellent in heavy rain. Not one hint of hydroplaning; just pulling from hitting the puddles at 65mph. Good in snow, great in water, EXCELLENT on dry pavement. Get yourself a pair if you're looking for awesome all season tires.

Thanks man yeah when I did the M it was a coin flip but I think I'm going to paint it blue now to match some products on there way. My cars been dying for a wash for a couple weeks and today I broke down and finally did it at first I was like diffidently doing a drive threw so I can get my car dried at the end then as soon as I pulled up no ROOF RACKS **** and sucked it up and washed it in the cold and bought a towel so my car wasn't frozen on the way home.

Maybe the best way to test wet traction isn't trying to hydroplane at highway speeds "hugging" the median or jersey wall.

Also I installed new door speakers, front driver's door still no noise, I am going to look behind the head unit today.
 
^^^They also come in a 5x114.3 just have the 4 lug pictured.

Not a damn thing lately other than commuting to/from work but she's running. :)

And think I've finally decided on a set of tires for summer. Leaning towards the Hankook Ventus V2 Concept H437s
