January 29, 2009: Winter 2009
Turned over 15,000 this month. This thing is a blast in the snow. I had someone stop me and ask if that was a custom color - he thought DBP was a great color.
I went to DubDash here in Dayton again last October. Had a great time. Took my son along as navigator, and he had a blast too. The starter told me I had "burnout of the day" when I used launch control to start the rally. I didn't smoke the tires, but it did chirp the tires a bit and then I was gone... During the rally, I had a terrible grinding sound a couple of times. I think it was a pebble stuck in the brakes picked up from one of the gravel roads. The sound has not returned.
I am still looking for a nice set of door sills, and am considering the R-line sills from ECS. I have oredered the full set if ZiZa lights from ECS, but they have been on backorder since mid December. For a long while I wanted the EVOMS CAI, but have since cooled off on that. The car seems to run almost perfect as is.
Can't wait for spring so I can do a thorough cleaning and detail. Although my dog has never been in the car, there is a lot of dog hair accumulating on the black carpet - probably transferred from my shoes...
