It was like 75 degrees when I got in the car in Miami, when I got out in Jacksonville 4 hours later, it was like 40!

We've got the same thing going on here in KC. It's been in the mid-50's. Thursday, we're expecting 6 inches of snow.....

Well

Not a whole lot to report lately.

I will likely be heading up to Toronto this weekend to visit some family and hopefully meet with a potential buyer for my Volks!

The Type-S has been good; ran into an issue with my myron davis dvd player and I'm having it replaced. The weather sucks so I haven't gotten a chance to clean it up OR install the rest of my A-Spec kit and Vossens.

I do, however, have plans to meet with a guy for an actual photoshoot; like, as in real pictures and no more iphone pics!!! as soon as I'm finished with my a-spec kit and wheels though.

Shift knob was ice cold today

Well, I got back from the GTA Monday. Car ran beautifully and had no issues

I'm really shocked with my mileage; during the two years I drove the DGP I put 20k miles on it. I bought the Type-S with 103k miles and it now already has 111k miles...in 4 months!

I was feeling particularly inspired today and made a couple small purchases on eBay..

20$ mods FTW.

That's the same caliper paint I used years ago. It's great! I'm about to order more since my rear calipers have been replaced and they are rusty.

Awesome! Yeah i used the same stuff on my DGP TL but in black and it held up really great! If you need more check out ebay cause I just paid under 12$ shipped

Honestly I was unsure because I swap wheels really often. I was about to go "safe" with black but I think silver is pretty good. I didn't want to go too crazy with the color since I don't have any supporting mods to go with it and I'm not planning on going super slammed. Silver should look good with my graphite CV3's

^^^ that is a great idea...never thought of it that way....Silver is a very neutral color and will look great with dark graphite rims....

EDIT: fuuuu Austin....
