    nm induction goodies, Magnaflow exhaust next weekend. Hope the exhaust doesn't drown out the newfound whine of the turbo. My fuel efficiency is screwed.

    Pulled my Optima Red Top and reinstalled it the right way... after letting it rattle around in there for 3+ years (gasp!!!!!).

    It wasn't rattling a lot... but it wasn't mounted as solid as it should have been, either. Now it is. Effin shoddy in-a-hurry-DIY-crappy-workmanship. Definitely not one of my better days.

    Big thanks to MINI of San Antonio for organizing this ALL BRITISH event! They even had the State Police pull over the Honda S2000 that came along (the WRX STI escaped).

    It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood....

    I was instructed to walk the dog around the park...

    Then my wife and I headed out and filled the MINI with Shell V Power...

    It was close to noon so we stopped and had lunch at Aab India Restaurant, in Grandview...

    All you can eat.... And I did... It was yummy...

    Took a leisurely drive around town, cut through the Short North... And headed back home...

    Yup... It was a nice day tooling around in the MINI with the sun roof open and the windows down.... listening to tunes on the radio... Felt real good to finally be done with winter...
