I washed and waxed my yellow banana today and I aimed my foglights up! those bolts were effin stuck on. But nothing a lil wd40 and some elbow grease cant fix. The fogs go out at least another five feet from where they used to stop. Useable foglights ftw!
What have you done to your P5 today?

s'all good...nobody got hurt and that's what's important. One of the nearby residents said that just last year a woman on a motorcycle went over that hill and ended up in the hospital for a while.
here's what else I just did to my p5 today:
used my spare keys to get into my p5 at the repair shop parking lot and swapped the p5 ecu back in, took out the daveb rings, msp mats, fog delete grills, antenna, and wheel locks in case the car is totaled and they don't let me take stuff from the car anymore...

Had a CEL come on last night when I moved my car from my g/f's place back to mine after sitting for two days. Tried to get it scanned at an Advance Auto but their scanner was broken. Filled up because gas was low after my long trip on Thursday and left the car running for about 10 minutes while I thoroughly checked over everything again. When I got back in the car to turn if off the CEL was gone. I don't get it, but I won't argue with it...
Oh no (freak)! at least you know that you will have that baby parted out in a week or so on here if it is totaled!

i didnt technically "do" anything to the P5 Saturday, but we did get an estimate on trade in from Mazda after test driving an MS3 (hump)
We told them to give us a call when they get a white one.

haha I wish. it's not really in the budget, plus I think I'm moving to Montreal either the end of this year or the end of 2009. So I would have to sell it then anyway. Sure would be nice to upgrade to a white ms3 though! I'd have to change my name to whitems3seattle!
Thanks Tylor! Maybe one day my car's carma will be resurrected in your wife's p5! I was about to do the rear valence thing this weekend too! shucks...
Got my P5 out of storage to install the AWR coilovers! Woohoo! It felt so freakin' fast from not driving it in so long. (humpleg)(humpleg)
I had to jump start the car as the year old battery is dead. At least I hope, I'm not wanting to chase electrical gremlins... (bang)

For this, I shall hate you for a long time! LOL, be sure to give us a lengthy detailed description of the coilovers. My next setup will be coilovers and I'm stuck between the Tein SS or the AWR setup. The Teins are cheaper but have less adjustability and no upper strut mounts. While I won't be racing much I do like to get as much out of this car as possible

I pulled a few more things off the car (mazda6 rear wiper, spare tire and sub, back trunk cover thingy) and also talked to the guy at the shop where my car is sitting.
He said the car probably wouldn't be totaled due to the low miles and the fact that the airbags didn't deploy. I really hope he's right!

Keep pulling whatever you can off the car till the deciscion is made though!! GET THE MP3 RACING HARTS QUICK!! lol
The insurance guy comes out and asks why the car sitting at the mechanic looks quite different from the ones in the wreck pics. lol

luckily I have my crappy winter steelies and winter tires on the car. the racing harts are safely stored in my basement (nana)
the fact that the airbags didn't deploy is gonna be huge and that may save you. if the airbags deploy its automatically totaled is it not? although from the pics i'm really surprised that they didn't!
that has got to be a relief (yes)
Man wouldn't that be some bulls***. They stopped doing that not too long ago. The airbags alone can not be reason for totalling the car.
