By the way, I'm doing nothing to my Type S. It seems like every time I do, I spend more money on it.....

I gave mine a bath earlier even though it wasn't very dirty. I also have to get around to changing the oil sometime soon.

I hate to say it but I'm losing interest after 5 years. I don't see myself putting any more non maintenence money or time into it once the stereo is done. I might give it it's once a month wash today.....maybe. Doing the timing belt on my next 3-day weekend.

Oil change on the g/f 05 and a wipe down for mine. In limbo if I should trade my vehicle in for a TLS this year, so I'm hesitant on modding. *Sigh

Spent all day Sat on my new TL. I'm not gonna lie, I bought her last minute and didn't really put her through the paces before signing the papers. I wish I had. I thought only the front bumper had been repainted (horrible paint match!) but it turns out the whole car has been repainted. Its a terrible paint job!! The leather was so filthy the dirt was rolling up in tiny balls before wiping away. It makes me so sad that people can buy beautiful cars and trash them. Now I have mixed feelings about the car. I love it but want another one. Anyway, changed the oil and filters, new wiper blades, fuel injector cleaner in. We tried to get to the cabin air filter but didn't have a dash removal tool, so that's on hold. Still trying to figure out what's causing my VSA and /!\ light to be on.

Gave my baby a bath today and did the plastidip grill mod. Wasn't really sure how good it would look on the SSM but it turned out better then I could have imagined.

got my headlights installed and my AEM filter cleaned....terrible idea in the 95 degree heat. Will have to save the fogs for another day, hopefully once I get an HID kit, and then retape my front lip since its not sitting flush to the bumper anymore

After seeing Gryphen post, I've been emboldened to blackout my headlights and begin the mods.
