    Parked my MINI outside and finished a full detail on the Acura MDX and let the ceramic coating bake / cure under my lights in the garage overnight.

    My buddy stopped with his GP for next weeks detail. He lives about an hour away and needed a ride home. We took the GP and said enjoy driving it home. It was a blast to drive.

    Played around w/ BCM options thru NCS. Tried to keep the interior light off when door opens....to no avail, but was surprised both windows had auto-up option.

    I parked it out of the driveway so I could mulch up the 10 bazillion leaves in my yard - I have a 100 ft tall pin oak in my front yard that usually takes all winter and into the spring to drop it's leaves, but this year we had a sudden cold snap coupled with a really big windstorm and I think about 90% of them are down - along with all my neighbor's leaves which seem to be in my yard too!

    So I put the mulching kit on the ZTR and went after them. It always looks so nice after a good mulching and clean up - for about 1 day! Between the neighbor's trees and the wind, I'll have another good coating of them in a week or so, but at least the first level is gone. They were as much as 2 ft deep in places.....

    Got her rear strut bushings replaced with the Power Flex version. The old OE's were shot! No more clunking in the rear, she sounds new again :)

    Today on the GP I removed the license plate, steel wooled with 0000 all the windows. I also brushed out all the old dried wax from the roof GP # and all the trim around the car.

    I also removed a big ugly dragon like sticker from his A-Pillar. He said I would do anything I wanted to make the car look awesome and the #1 rule for me is no stupid stickers on the car anywhere.

    Each sticker adds 1/2 a hours power

    Nope, each sticker gets you a step closer to being another dumb LXM member.

    Yep. I have several window decals on mine.
    1 Invisible Pink Unicorn outline,
    2 Cheetah outlines (these 3 are
    extremely subtle from the outside
    as they are on the inside over the tint film)
    1 small rainbow cheetah, and
    1 millennial anti-theft device.
    My IQ dropped 5 points, but it was worth it.

    Been trying to figure keeping the interior lights off when door opens. Bud told me to do the Bimmer thing of long pressing the dome light switch....light turns off, comes back on & off after a few secs, then release. Of course, it worked.

    Stickers aren't my cup o tea either, but heck if someone likes them it's OK with me. I've always felt one should do what makes em happy.

    Here you go Jeff....... :)
