When I worked in a shop this was my favorite tool....always stole it off my bosses tool box

Got my new radio installed and working, I'll have to hook up my steering wheel controls later but so much better than the stock unit. I can actually tell what time it is in my car now.

I also found out why my seat is squeaking, the bracket I built had broken in half due to fatigue along a cut I had made in it.

New brakes, and an oil change and trans fluid and filter on my moms van. Stupid Chryslers.

Ran a v6 tl on the way to work and man do they sound good. He got the hit on my both times because the first time he was passing me and I punched it when he was beside me the second time was because we were turning out onto another road and he was in front of me and hammered it before I could even touch the gas. I got around him the second time. The first time I let off because the was a semi in front of us.

What year tl? Was it type S,stock?

Type s I'd guess around 06 ish

Oh ok,those are a lil quick but the early 2000s type s was the best IMO and just as quick.

Finally got my drive ability issue stored out. After replacing just about every cheap sensor under the hood, and doing a gasket job and looking for vacuum leaks I finally found my issue after getting a bluetooth adapter and the Torque app. That is very help full.

My MAF was dead. I tried cleaning it, but no dice, I couldn't get any readings out of it afterwards. So a new AC Delco MAF and it is now good to go. I basically gave this GTP a real good tune up. I hope she treats good for a while because I spent a lot of money getting this thing to run right again.

Just hand washed it. She needed it bad

Was going to run it through the touchless car wash but the line was way too long and I wasn't going to wait. I was chauffeuring my mom around and after I dropped her off I went to the regular do it yourself car wash and spent $3.50 and washed it as good as I could with the lack of light. Went and filled it with gas afterward and it looks 20 times better than it did.

Yeah I kept telling Capn Breakalot he should get it. He didn't listen to me. It's the $89 special at Wal-Mart.

Hell Home Depot had something like a 185 piece set on sale for $99 the other day.

Nice, I'm part of that crowd as well.

Everyone has to put their tools to work if they own a Grand Prix
