Changed the oil and filter.
Cleaned the K&N air filter and oiled it.
Repaired a tab on the grille again and I hope it will stay stuck this time.

Wash and wax,oil change, check all fluid levels, fuel up , reverse into the garage so I can start packing for CAA 3 in Reno NV,and last but not least reinstalled Shifter ZR 3 that ties in with my Escort 8500-z50.
Flying low and the power to go

In a moment of weakness I decided to wash my car for the Woodward trip, while drying it down it started to rain. So I said f*** it and drove it into the garage. Good job it's not black.
A spotty car will make the other cars look better.

Drove my Crossfire to a strip mall, as I was pulling into the parking lot I noticed an older model red Jaguar XJS and a later model red Corvette, both looking really nice. I also noticed a stately older gentleman with shoulder length silver hair walking, apparently from one of these cars, in my direction. At that time I spotted a safer parking spot so I drove on over to it and the old man was actually following me, which I thought was a little odd. When I got out of my car he approached me and said he wanted to look at my Crossfire because he doesn't see them very often. He went on to tell me how much he liked the uniqueness of the Crossfire and then told me his automobile history which included racing the Jaguar XK 120.(he owned the red '78 XJS) He was an interesting fellow and I would not have had this encounter had I not had my Crossfire. I had no idea what an XK120 was so I "wiked" it: Jaguar XK120 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Way cool!
I drove mine to a restaurant today and met my daughter there...
I parked it at an angle in two spots...
She saw that and said " you're one of those dicks"


BTW.... COOL Jaguar!

The last time I had lunch with her. I parked in a "safe" spot...and got a door ding! Cost me $50.00

Don't drive it areas that sand the road (like Colorado) or you'll need a new windshield every couple of years. :/

Well it wasn't today, but I just took pictures today... custom grayscale badges for the front and back (replaces the whole badge, not just an overlay)... I think they go well with the rest of the car as I slowly get rid of any color that isnt in the white (or silver) to black spectrum

These are wired to the "on/run" circuit so they turn off automatically when the key is in the "off" position. It will look much better in the front when I get the small corner lights replaced with LED's as well.
