    yea i really hated the honeycomb ones too. before i paint these, i'm going to clean them up so they sit more flush. then painting them body color.

    Got pulled over this morning on my way to work entire thing was less than five minutes long.

    Officer: Did you know you have no front plate.
    Me: Ahh I forgot to put it back on after a photo shoot the other day.
    Officer: If that is the God honest truth then ok.
    Me: Yes it is.

    Walks back to his car runs my stuff comes back.
    Officer: Tells me to put it back on.
    Me: Thank you I appreciate it.

    I was on my way, got to work and put it back on so I wouldn't forget. So glad he was cool about! Since I never run with out a front plate and only take it off at shows and for photos.

    They are looking for another reason to write you a ticket...light out, no seat belt, whatever. If they find nothing they have to let you go.
    Drove the car to home depot and let my son catch a nap.

    Drove over the remnants of a deer and got meet/guts caked to my subframe and exhaust:



    That's after I pressure washed it at the car wash. Might have to crawl under and take it off by hand.

    Swapped cars with a friend last night and drove an S2k. He seriously wants to trade me for my MKV. I can't give up my European car for JDM, even if it would be nice(r) JDM.

    HPA Puck shipped out yesterday, should be on the car by Saturday
