What have you done to your P5 today?

oh and yaggie you can actually usually see my car right off of broad street but right now theres a car in front of me. I'm in the waggoner park condos right after the new development that theyre building if youre coming from the limited. How long are you here for?
 
Filled up the tank. Averaged 29 mpg since the last fill up woot!

Adjusted my front liscense plate tilt.

Hey whitemp5 what color did you use on the top part of your front grille? Mine isn't too bad but now its kinda noticeable. I havent washed it yet so it might get better but just in case i wanna repaint it yours look like a perfect match. Please say its duplicolor or something i can buy localy so i dont have to pay 7 million dollars for the paintscratch paint.

I bought the paintscratch stuff. what you pay for is what you get...

and speaking of the AWR header...I'm gonna install mine tomorrow morning with Slowpro98...yay!
 
I drove thru there tonite on my way out to get some dinner. Figured I would have a quick look and see if I could spot your car. I am supposed to head back home on Mon night sometime. I am stuck here working until 6 am and have to be back at 6 pm tomorrow. Actually, now that it is 4 am I guess I have to be back at 6pm tonite.........I'd say we could meet up but, I am heading out of here to get some sleep and then I am going to the Columbus Crew soccer game in the afternoon before work. Might be able to skip out early in the evening to grab some dinner though.........

How the hell did you straighten it? And are you SURE that it's PERFECTLY straight (factory specs?)?


Granted, that's one way to get a little extra toe out :p

Map gas and a pry bar. It's not 100%, but it's good enough to get me by until I get another one and have them put it on. It doesn't pull to any direction, the steering wheel is straight (unlike the 45 degree angle it was when I drove it home), and it got me back home. I live 9 miles from a Mazda shop. I'm gonna try to get it done before the 22nd (Ohio fun run).
 
that's hardcore right there, I love it! :D Beat it to fit, paint it to match :p
 
Wouldn't be the first time my old man came up with a scheme like that. My younger sister's first car was a 94 Neon that we got for something around $350. The water pump froze, sheared the timing belt, and bent two valves...so what does he do? Bend them back. She drove it for 3 years with no issue.
 
what time's the soccer game start? I wld say if you want to there's a couple place right there by target for dinner so you cld stop by be4 work and get some dinner. There's panda express, subway, fox's pizza, ummm quiznos and i think there's like a mini pizza hut inside target.

If you're not using them, I may need that one. I didn't get to come out to MD this weekend because of that. So, I haven't gotten the light switch from him yet.
 
Covered 1300 miles in the past 2 days taking my daughter back to college. Car hit 150,000 today. Averaged 32 MPG with a peak of 34 on one tank.
 
Yesterday I washed the P5 and the MPV and today I detailed the interiors of both and changed oil on the MPV. After that I ran a few errands in the shiny hatch and then dropped the rear seats to bring my new lawnmower home.
