Bought the fog light switch and tried to buy the front deflector. They refused to ship to VA so MarlboroMike is trying to locate one for me. Thanks MMike! :thumbs:

Well, not today, but day before yesterday I installed BC coil over shocks and GXP Z0K sway bars on my '08 GXP, lowered her 1/2" in front and 1" in back, and did a slightly more aggressive alignment for the street.

I'm gonna try for Spain next I think.  If not there, maybe San Diego or somwhere in Florida.  Either way, I have about 3 months before I can start negotiating my next duty station.

Dropped the car off at the Portsmouth VPC for shipping.  Put signs on the windshield, passenger window, and under the hood warning about damage from the opening and closing the hood while the doors are up.  Wrote it in english and Hangul (Korean).

I'm also sun burned from driving 5 hours with the top down today!

Ordered some new custom gauge faces. Oh, these are going to be sweet! Can't wait to get the design emailed to me Friday or Saturday. "GT supercharged"  :thumbs:

Be safe in Korea. Sty away from the DMZ if you can.

I'm certain Mike didn't forget.  And I am sure the process is a lot better now than it was the last time I shipped a car.

Let's hope so!


As a side note, apparently there is a male flight attendant with big hair and a turtle neck that has piqued his interest  :huh:


I am sooo getting my ass kicked once his flight lands and he reads this!  :rofl:
