well yeah, ya have to pay to drive on, but it's worth it! I miss having my car right there. Down here you park and have to walk the boardwalk and carry all your crap. I miss sitting under the hatch in the shade listening to Jack Johnson with surfboards under the car so the wax doesn't melt.
What have you done to your P5 today?

Took my son for a drive up to Coca-Cola Park to watch the Lehigh Vally Iron Pigs (AAA team for the Phillies) game. The head coach of his baseball team offered to pay for all the kids and they were allowed to take the field and stand next to the players during the National Anthem. My son was standing near 2nd base.
They also gave the kids a pennant, baseball and he got some ice cream in a mini-batting helmet (that I had to pay for). All in all a great time and something he will remember forever.

nice! ya, a special moment foshua!

Pay to drive on the Beach? that's crazy...
There's quite a few beaches here you can drive one but not recommended. I don't know what kind of sand you got there but down here the sand swallows even lifted trucks with 12" lifts 44" inch tires and 4x4 drive. Especially if they stop. they do ok as long as you full throttle through the sand. I learned my lesson well not quite. I got stuck in the sand a couple of times. It sucks looking for rocks, deflating the tires, and finding help to push/pull my baby out. Plus it's pretty embarrasing...We got more off road places than actual safe places to drive fast "illegally" that is.
BTW what you know about Jack Johnson? You know he's from hawaii right...
oh and i did nothing with my car today besides admire it and drive it to work.
It was a beautiful day in Massachusetts so I washed and waxed her today...
Also, had the Racing Beat cat back that I bought from Tege5 installed a few days ago. The sound is so addictive, I've barely listened to any CD's since it was put on! Definitely recommended if anyone's thinking of getting one. Used the stock exhaust hangers and they seem to be working fine. I was expecting to have to buy Corksport urethane hangers. Now, if I could just find a Kartboy or MSP shift knob...
Incidentely, I think Tege5 still has a full Injen CAI for sale if anyone's interested.

Sweet, just get that code reset now and you won't get anymore from the header. I don't know what to do about the intake.

Replaced two tires: Falken Ziex 512 off, Yokohama S.Drive on (both 205/50 R16).
The Falken tires were not wearing very well, with the ones that had been in the back most of the time considerably more worn than the ones that had mostly been in front. Supposedly the alignment is ok, and pressure was religiously maintained at 32-33 psi, but they were pretty worn near the sidewalls, even though they only had about 8000 miles on them. So of course when this weekend one of the tires gets a nail through the sidewall it would have to be the least worn one of the four. Sigh. They don't make the 512 anymore and the tread pattern is different enough on the 912 that I was not comfortable putting a 912 on one side and a 512 on the other. The Yokohama's are on the front now, with one worn, and one not so worn, Falkens on the back.
