Default What did you do to your ride today???

This is a fun (sticky) thread on my site and I thought it would be popular here.

Simply post what you did to your ride today along with photos if you have them.

All I did to my ride today is look out the window at it all sad, it is buried under about 4 feet of snow (no i am not exaggerating). The weather here is finally starting to break and hopefully it will be out on the road by Tuesday next week.

I am going to dig it out later today with the snow shovel and start it up to charge the battery.

I have 2 boxes full of parts to put on the car so I can not wait for spring to finally hit here.

I drove around watching the IAT's on the Dashdaq and pondered about the best way to lower them.

I justed looked and tinkered,, did not drive nor did i start the motor... but she sits in the garage and i walked past her about 8 times once opening the hood looked to be sure the engine was still there and then closed it,, it was 58 degrees here today and i opened the garage into my house so i could get some heat into the garage because i laid my hand on the finder and it was cold. maybe by monday it will be back to 70 or 80 and we can go for a ride. no i am not a panzi *** i just don't like the cold weather that is why i live in florida,, this is the coldest winter we have had in 123 years,, someone tell gore,, jim

Today I drove out west and enjoyed the mild sunny weather in Chi-town.
Yes the snow is almost all gone now and it's feeling like spring is near.

from a few days ago.......

I updated the tune on my winter car yesterday and had some fun testing out the stability control and the snow tires on the ice

pic is not from yesterday but it still looks the same + another 1.5 feet

I fitted K&N air filters (well that was last night actually) and have the Rotex Golds sitting waiting to be installed
Today I'm going shopping for a new car for my wife - driving the Crossfire - can't wait for the look on the dealers face when I tell them I'm NOT trading it in (although I'm tempted to see what they offer )

Today, (after rinsing the car off yesterday), I noticed a few water spots on the car and I just had to wipe them off. (Yes, I had a little spare time today.)

Went out to the garage and pealed off the cover. Had a look at the battery tender to make sure the light was still green. Might go out tm. and give the engine a run. It is supposed to hit the 50's. Still have a foot on the ground and it should be there till at least the end of april.

Nothing too exciting today. I drove into the office and back home. It was just a bit chilly for a top down ride.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Interesting question. Drove to work as normal. Heater seats and heater on full blast. It was 48 this morning. I left the office at 3:40 and put the top down. It was 69 degrees. Dusted her off when I got home and put a new bra on her. Felt wonderful.

I did my data logging with the air on high. It was in the upper 90's again today. Dang heat is driving my crazy. I think the car runs cooler with the air on. It must be because the fans run more with the compressor.

I drove it to work and back. On the way home, I enjoyed the sunny 74 degree day with the windows down, stereo loud and romped it a few times.

I blew my transmission at the dragstrip...

I'll find out how bad it is when I go retrieve it tomorrow with a wrecker...

well last friday I cut a tire from being so low (damn inner fender seams, lol)
so its been sitting in the garage.
Started pulling the valve covers off tonight to fix the leaking gasket issue as well as powdercoating
Tomorrow I'll start pulling the intake manifold off as well, since its pretty dirty from the leaks.
