    Holy crap is it amazing to drive. The stock exhaust is awesome. Pops and burbles on downshifts sounds so good on WOT acceration.

    Last week I replaced the fuel pump with a DW uprated pump from Greene Performance. During reinstall, I broke the fuel level float arm. Today, I replaced that arm - yay for a working fuel gauge.

    In the other R53, noticed a rear caliper dust boot was torn - so replaced that along with new rotors all around.

    Got home today and there was a letter waiting for me from the DMV. The personal tag for the Helmet will be here the end of the next month. DRKHLMT. Not exactly the same but thats what they gave me. Next will be time to add some more Mods. Some small brake upgrades and this winter.....Meth.

    Clear bra and weathertech floor mats.

    I was considering an exhaust pre-purchase but damn this one sounds great. I'll give it 6 months and see if I still feel that way.

    Drove to Copperas Cove for a Falling Steel match (sucked badly :( ) then back home. The drive was fun.

    Had my Daughter pull mine out of the storage building for me. Now I'll look at it out the back door for a few days, until oh dark thirty Friday. Then I'll find out how much fun it is to drive it with a cast on my right hand and wrist. Return trip will be a piece of cake though, after they remove this dam thing.

    Took a 400+ mile road trip to NC. Unfortunately, it is nowhere near the Smoky Mountains.

    No. I did get to enjoy an extra 1.5 hours on I-95 though between D.C. and Richmond because apparently driving 20mph under the speed limit is SOP in that region.
