Good thing attention to detail can be cheap

Why no jack though? At least jack stands, they're like $30 for a pair, and you'll make the money back soon with the more DIY maintenance you can do with them.

I sure hope so! Though I do find cleaning and painting the calipers fairly relaxing

Hola Andy! I've thought about the calipers a few times but haven't pulled the trigger. I don't like how they say Acura on them so I would need them repainted or powdercoated. I'll eventually get them but they aren't high on my to-do list

$20 for the kit and less than 3 hours of my time

I'm planning to get a jack and jack stands soon but haven't until now because I just don't do enough modification or maintenance myself to warrant the purchase. Before I did these calipers, I hadn't used my scissor jack in 3 or 4 years

Yep, the one KJ posted is the one I have! Roger555 was the first one I knew to have it and I copied him and got one as well. I believe I got mine from AutoAnything.com and it was around $40. I got one for my dad's G35 as well

Here are the two newest additions to the family! Both are miniture short-haired dachshunds.

Faith, black and tan on the right, is 9 weeks old.
Hope, tan on the left, is 7 weeks old.



Just some randoms from when we picked them up yesterday. They are not sisters but play great together! They constantly step on and climb on each other when someone is petting them.









Faith, black and tan pictured below, has some brindle coloring (marble like) throughout her tan parts. The breeder said that was very uncommon.



Since she's a few weeks older, Faith is a ball of energy. Hope on the other hand...

Not yet! These are my parent's dogs, while my girlfriend and I have Cosmo. We want these girls to get used to their surroundings and such before introducing them to Cosmo.

These bitches (heh) are a handful. House training and such is a chore but luckily I'm back at school so I don't have to deal with it

They wanted them! I had no idea they were getting them until they told me they went to the breeder and put down a deposit.

Start doing your own maintenance! I started with the Jetta, it's fun getting your hands dirty and knowing your way around your car more. Plus, you feel like a badass.

Cute puppies! I love Hope's swag in the first picture.

I'm lazy. Plus, knowing my luck, I'll screw something up and have to take it somewhere after all

The dogs are cute but don't ever say swag in this thread again

Betty can always come up here and play with them. You're not invited though.
