    Indeed. However, we have had our share of Auto Meter failures in the race car. Mostly with the needle falling off of the tach. In which case, shift lights are bliss...

    I've never had an Autometer failure, and I have used a lot of their gauges in the past...

    Really nice drive up to FT. Collins today to see the summer trial Flower gardens at CSU. Pictures later.

    Pat, Pup and Countryman enjoyed the drive and exercise. I did manage to stop by 2nd Amendment Gun Shop in Loveland on the way up, needed more time to browse a very nice shop. Owner is a top end gunsmith with reasonable fees.

    Picture or two later.

    Was not sure if you wanted to see pics of flowers or the gun shop, so I will start with a flower picture. :)

    Nothing with my mini. But it did start with a M. Mustang! I put long tube headers on my younger sons Mustang. What a job that was! We started yesterday at about 1PM and worked till 2AM. then today from 1 and finished at around 7.
    We worked so late because the engine was being held by a hoist, you have to drop the subframe to get to the headers. I couldn't close the garage because of the hoist. But by 2AM I had to give up!
    I was really worried about leaving the door open. My Indian is on the other side. I would have pushed it into the house but I may have got in trouble!!
    When I came down stairs my son was asleep on the couch in the den, it's shares a wall with the garage. I found out later he slept there to guard my bike.
    How cool is that! He is a great kid. I would never have asked him to do that. He did it after I want to bed.

    Saturday was a cleaning, thought I was safe but was rained on the way into town for dinner with some friends.

    Sunday installed the Aux Cable and adjusted my pedals.

    Got a chance to get my other red head a oil change at the dealer.

    Good news is it came home afterwords (doesn't always work that way it seems). Bad news is they found some typical issues.
    1. Right engine mount is shot
    2. Control arm bushings are also shot
    3. Low speed cooling fan isn't working
    4. Small oil leak from valve cover gasket
    5. Passenger seat airbag switch is bad (like I didn't know that was coming).

    I guess I have a project list on my hands for later updates, lol.

    Started making templates for rear back speakers, I have been looking at WildThang's setup and I am going to attempt it with 6x9s

    I had a code pop yesterday and did some research on P0326.
