Well I picked my car up from the shop today. Had a couple of setbacks in the process. waited on the machine shop for shims twice and then found out the carbonetics diff was no good. So had to go a different route. found a Quaife ATB that we dropped in instead. Car feels good. it's weird how something like that makes the car feel so responsive.

Trying to start car after work last night...

“S#1t...S#1t...S#1t....”

keep pressing brake and mashing button, nothing...

Look down, stop pressing the A/C button and try the ON button and it starts right up

I've done the opposite before. Sitting in traffic and decide to turn the A/C on... Hit the ignition instead and car shuts off. LOL

Getting differential fluid and spark plugs changed tomorrow. That will bring my girl to all new fluids since I got her at 98k 5 months ago. No I know all is well and continue all routine maintenance. No idea how the previous owner treated her before me. Already did brakes, brake fluid, radiator fluid, power steering fluid and oil change.

Student Driver??? Hmmmm... how can anyone get mad at you on the streets given you're a Student Driver? Plus everyone gives you lots of room. I think you're on to something.
