Thanks, and yeah I know. LOL Everyone had to pull to that side.

And it better look good. I sweated my nuts off putting another coat of wax on it. Having to scan the photo doesn't really show how much the shine was.

Ways to fix it?

Yea I know is there a way to do a burn some one at work ran kerosene through his car to clean his cat out does that even work m

So guys, last few thousand miles, ive been smelling a bad smell when i give it some good gas, not even WOT, even 2/3 throttle I will smell it.

On my trip to ND, I kept getting p0440, common for bad gas cap, i put a new one on with a lock on it 3 years ago, and first time I have had the code pop up, i put the original one back on, and drove home.

Didn't smell the bad smell, i honestly thought it was cat converter getting clogged up, or could of it been because the gas cap gasket wasn't sealing right? I havn't drove the car since I put the gas cap on besides back from ND, the windshield got cracked on way back and I don't want to drive it looking how it is.

Had to run downtown during rush-hour stop-n-go traffic, so got to watch my tranny temp get hotter and hotter and hotter......

I thought 219* was the highest it would go:







But then a few blocks later:







And it wasn't really that hot (83*F):

You need a cooler!

Yup. It was on the "long list of things to do", but it is now on the "short list of things to do".

Drove the g6, got my lcas with ball joints ordered for it, 115$ later for both, and 65$ alignment.

Thanks you reminded me I needed some. Plan on installing new front door component speakers and some peel n seal this weekend.

Now need to find something to insulate the plastic on plastic squeak of things like center console.

My driver side door make a rattle of come sorts from the latch area when you close the door, but only does it when the window is down all the way. I gotta find it...

Probably 15 relays bouncing around lol.

Nope, did it since the day I got it. Just a pain to deal with when I have everything coated in peel n seal, lol. I only have 10 relays in the door, thank you very much, lol.
