Got the new Rear tires mounted today
Continental Extreme Contact Sport - 285/35/19
About an inch wider and taller the the OEM size but fit perfectly and give the car a good stance

285/35/19 will stick out beyond the rim and protect it
No problems with clearance and only 1mph off on my speedometer.
Quiet tires with extreme grip wet or dry
I’ve been running this size for many years now

Hooked up my Midland GMRS 2 way radio
Trying this new mounting location
We use these radios to communicate between Crossfires while out on our group runs
Heading to Eureka Springs, Arkansas to join 28 more Crossfires for our annual summer event

Between yesterday and today I was able to change the brakes all around on my 05’ coupe. I also put back on the fuel filter cover which has been laying on the ground since I replaced the fuel filter last fall. Recently I had TJ give my RCM some TLC, but when I replaced the crank sensor last week and fixed my no start problem gave me a reason to get her road ready. Has been out of commission for a couple years. Now I need to renew tabs and get her legal.

Wow, those turned out nice. Someone said you have to keep wax on em now.
~ I washed and drove the Aero-Blu. Am continuing to discover its issues. The latest issue is the hydraulic top whereby it is making sounds like the pump is starving for fluid. I will have to investigate and look for the "wet spot". At least I won't have to roll it in flour first like a fat girl.

The partner you woke up to had his/her neck over your arm.....and sleeping blissfully. You turn your eyes to the face and see possibly the ugliest person in the world.

rather than chance waking them up, you chew your arm off at your shoulder and sneak away.

coyote ugly.

Last week I installed my Midland GMRS 2 way radio
This weekend I was looking for a good spot to place the Antenna where I could use it with the top open or closed
I discovered it holds magnetically to the roll bar just fine even at high speeds with the top down on the interstate
I have also been told it will work well through the canvas when the top is closed
I do need to slide it to the side of the roll bar when closing the top but thats it
So I'm gonna give it a try next week while running in groups in the Ozarks with the other Crossfires at our event
"Crossfire Fun in the Ozarks"

Finally, I'm in Florida and can take care of my car. Today I have installed a cup holder. In progress: new spark plugs, crank position sensor, cam sensor, new serpentine belt, bigger TB, and much more.
