Both sets of photos are excellent J!

You've inspired me to get out and take some pics of my own again.

yep, super thirsty!

Yes sir...I was looking up the Nirvana logo and that one popped and I liked it. Not much of a Deadhead though.

Thanks fellas...
Naw Meko, I had the chance to buy a Laguna, but it had been repainted and wasn't very clean. I passed but seeing it in person, I didn't love it as much as I'd have thought.

Knowing J though, he'll sell this one in a few months to someone who will supercharge it and then buy another one

You don't have CAI, it's okay, you can go a little closer to the water little fella :P

but I DO have CAI!

Kevin is right...I would have a harder time moving on from this one knowing the feeling of missing the last one. I mean, at some point in my life a big cozy comfy 4 door truck sounds awesome...but I can't bring myself to spend the cash on one. I love my TL...has 4 doors...good kid and wife car...S is just something else...it really is.

Good.
Got the differential collars installed today.
Was so much easier NOT trying to take a shortcut this time around and actually taking the exhaust, subframe connector and sway bar OFF for install. Guess it helped to have zero rust too.

Anyway...one bushing was torn, but with the aluminum collars, there won't be any play in that one anyway.

Got a few shots, but I'll take a few more before upload/edit.

Okay...just for Anil.
Turns out when I used the app...I was able to fiddle with some settings. I do need to figure out a better way to white balance so everything getting hit with sun isn't washed out. And the mic...damn that thing is wind sensitive...then again, I had to mount it on the rear deck where the air lands, so in that regard, that wasn't bad at all.
