Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

cleaned up the new console yesterday and installed it today. kinda odd having 2 working cup holders, the new one is from a 2000 it is still crap like the rest but a better design than the 98 cup holder. and a working latch on the arm rest is a treat too.

And why the heck do these cars hate going over 70?

I use the rain-x washer fluid and don't even need to use my wipers.

I use that stuff too, plus have rain-x applied to the glass.
I was just going thru a bad patch of rain and needed to hit them to clear.

I think I know what I did...I was getting gas on my way home and was washing the bugs off the windshield (pointless I know) and I think I hit the arm where the wiper hooks. I flopped it around and pulled on it and it still seemed tight. but apparently it wasn't. I was cruisin and went to hit them once and it started to curl and lift up so I was merging over to stop and fix it and then it went flying...so I made a U-Turn and headed back to the town Marysville and got a new wiper.

My day was pretty eventful.

To the car...I just drove it a bunch and sang to the steering wheel (I'm sure it was glad when I pulled in the driveway at home).
Tomorrow, the G6 is getting a detail and paint restore (hopefully).

Installed a new DP gasket...again. Tomorrow is some loktite on those nuts so they don't come loose again

colored STB

Cheated on it with the mistress.

And then did this to it:


All sorts of nasty ickyness under there, wow.

driving around then got a random misfire all of sudden (plug wire hit a header tube) >: ( , bought new wires and installed DEIs plug boots.

in the interest of safety, in the future please put a scrap piece of wood under your ramps when using them on unpaved ground, the ramps can sink and possibly crush you, its happened to me and others. we really dont want one the few ladys of the site hurt now, do we? nah, i think not.


now i hope you got to de greasing that poor engine and fixing/finding the leaks! lol

...and that was a ProTip. ^

I know, I didn't think about putting the plywood the other direction under the ramps until the car was already up there.
I will do that next time.
I set the emergency brake and we put wood behind the back tires.
I wasn't ever totally under the car, and I was able to get out easily if something did start to happen.

I might do it again next weekend only on the top side.
It looks so much better tho.

I loaded up my tools in the gtp and went over to my grandma's to change the tierod end on her intrigue then i changed the oil on mom and dads venture then grandma made me supper. It was delicious

I would have. What were you doing to it?

I was out at my work in the shop. It's about 2 miles north of 224 between 750 E and 700 E.

i think your front bumper has some bugs stuck to it...Just a few

Haha, there are probably a couple hundred there and the front window is awful.
That's what driving 400 miles in 2 days does

i can't wait until i get moved, then i can get to work on my car more often
