What did you do to your 3G today?

Let's hear it chaps.

What did you do to your 3G today?

Drove it to work today after I dried it off from last night's rain and debris.
Last week I changed out my worn brake pads for a set of Akebonos and got it tinted yesterday.

I had put on the rest of my body kit last weekend and finally got it dropped this past Saturday. It needs a wash bad, but not until the rain stops. So, no pics yet.

let me also add...TODAY i discovered the clutch pedal is creaking (more outside the car when clutch pedal is depressed and released) when i parked her in the garage to sleep. NEXT WEEK when i take the car to the dealer...i will be addressing this with them along with the 2011 TSB in hand. yes i'm a nerd...i videoed the creaky clutch so my dealer does think i'm crazy.
