    I have a diverter that fits over the top dash air vent that covers it and directs a small
    amount of air forward instead of a large amount upward. The vinyl covering has been
    working its way off and I glued the loose bits back on. It hooks onto the vent via a couple
    springs.

    Can't remember the name of the vendor I got it from, but I think they're no longer around,
    so glad I could fix it.

    Today I received the CD changer I bought. Another install before the Dragon. I just wish I had the car to put it in already. :nonod::( After the dragon...Aux input and bluetooth.

    Don't walk and post here at the same time! You'll end up tripping into a water fountain or walking into the middle of the street and getting run over or something else that will later be found on security footage and posted on YouTube and laughed at for generations.

    One of these guys is a big wienie

    Spotted this in a local mall parking lot - apparently the crew needed some clean underwear or something. :D

    Note the defensive parking technique – across 4 spaces! :nonod:

    This one is slightly bigger than a dime. :( I guess it will be an easy one to find when I play connect the dots!

    And I stocked up for the Dragon. The Lord Chesterfield is being delivered. The other three are fair game.

    Traced down a charging issue I was having with the Rat-MINI, found it, fixed it, and feel stupid... It was such an easy mistake, and I would have never thought to check what it turned out to be if it didn't die in the driveway.

    Also got the suspension dialed the rest of the way in, and will be playing with tire pressures now. :)

    Having someone do the grass for you seems like a great trade. :wink: But maybe since we are now doomed to yet another snow storm maybe shoveling would be a better trade. :smilewinkgrin:

    Polished up my stripped done car today. I only needed 2 passes to buff everything out and then I added 2 layers of sealant, 2 layers of wax and one last coat of sealant that will stay on it until tomorrow. Also re-Rain-X all the glass.

    No need to move it from the garage this week. :Thumbsup:
