Sure hope you got some miles in yesterday Mike, cause today and tomorrow are not going  to be top down days.  Of course you have probably kicked all the Barton cars out of the garage so you can clean and polish yours :)

Actually, yes my car is in the garage, but its filthy (odd, I know).  I'm working on the brakes now.  After, I'll give it a good cleaning...

I did get some top down time yesterday...

Replaced brake pads with hawk hps,used motul 600 for fluid, replaced all wheel lug bolts with ARP lug bolts replaced spark plugs with colder ngk plug [Should go to colder plug if engine 100hp above stock] Plan to install DDm oil catch can, and mount oil temp and oil pressure gauge tomorrow. Most is being done at Chassis Concepts. 1500hp Dragster is sitting next to my car. A Jet engine dragster is also present but mostly disassembled.

Drove home in 3 inches of slushy crap. Parked the car and am now watching her disappear in the blizzard. What a great day! LOL!

I'll let you know.  I'm about to go bed them in and then I have to take it easy on them for 200 miles.  It's ok, because I need to empty the tank of gas in it.  It still has STABIL in it from storage.

Drove to work. It did great. Glad I used it and not the ML320. Had to go under two power lines. Now, it's thawing out in the garage.

It would have been a good top down day oer here by Joe's house, sunny and about 40 degrees.  The only problem is that the roads are wet and I had to wash it.  I couldn't risk the chance that Critter would get lost on his way home from work, stop in a Joe's to get directions, and see dirt on my car! It's time to start the detailing process!

Took the car to the dealership last night.  Got a call from the technician today discussing alignment specs, how to proceed with the turbo upgrade/stage kit, and timetable on parts delivery.  Warranty works include door sill plates, non-expanding cupholder, broken exterior door handle, very dark brake fluid, and check engine light (turn out to be cooling fan module).

Can't wait to feel the difference between 260 and 340 lb-ft :)
