What have you done to your P5 today?

Was helping KCBHIW with the GRM $2006 Challenge car tonight. At this point, he's down to prepping it for the concours portion of the event. The clear had some pretty bad orange peel so he's wet sanding the entire thing. Anyway, got pulled over in Alpharetta on the way home. Officer was pretty cool, I didn't get a ticket, but I don't think he tagged me with anything. He said he saw me doing "about 60" (in a 45) and heard the engine revving while I was going down a hill. I was like a) cruise was at 55, and b) manual transmissions don't coast down hill. I wasn't really going any faster than anyone else, but I think he just happened to hear mine. No biggie tho, it's about time the law of averages caught up with me lol. I haven't been stopped in about 2.5 years.

As far as my P5 and I....another commute to work followed by a trip to the dance studio to pick up my daughter, blockbuster for movies and 'Greasy Dick's' for dinner....real name is Richard's Drive-In....best burgers in town IMO.

ya i made sure i can open the door.... but damn.... how didnt she see my car... i mean even if she didnt see the car i was standing next to it (right behind her rear window which she would normally be looking out of) if it wasnt for my car im sure i would have been hit. what sucks even more was i was expecting it and watched it happen, not being able to do anything. the worst part is my friend was calling to her before she got into the car but i guess she didnt hear us (less than 30 feet away) nor did she see us.... wtf.
 
second my friend saw it happen he told me he'd pay for it... then when his dad got back they assured me that they'd take care of it... i trust them enough, hopefully that doesnt come back to bite me in the ass.
 
my Protege5 sits patiently in the garage until 7am when I decide whether or not the snow tires are going on for the trip to Toronto. If they don't, I need to remember to get the tire pressure down on my summer tires.. they're at 40psi cold.
 
16 hours later my car is ready for HIN.

Detailed the engine bay, washed and waxed the car, wet sanded the bumper and fender, then hit them with rubbing compound then hit them with glaze. I even waxed my rims too. Installed different underhood lights. detailed the inside of the car. Waxed my laser blue helmet with Rednecks_R_us on the back of it. Installed my MSP windsplitter on my new MSP bumper.

Oh its raining now. Hope fully the roads will be dry for my 2 hour trip to Firebird Raceway where HIN is being held on Saturday.
