Turns out they did bed them. Ah well, I trust the guy and what's done is done. Oh well. Means I can get more sleep tonight I guess?

Though I did get whiplash leaving the parking lot. Not used to them being so responsive! They look nice too.

She needs a good washin' though.

I have had my brakes returned unbedded. Then I went out and screwed them up not knowing. Ugh.

MAZOC meet, coffee and lunch. Then a drive around to places out in rural country to buy Christmas presents.

Filled the tank @ $3.03 per gallon.

Cleaned the windshield.

It's been a great day which will be followed by a great evening singing in our Christmas Cantata.

Hotrodz and daywalker like this.

New shift knob.

Loved my PW:JDM aluminum v2, but it got too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. This TWM Specter knob is weighted and has a Delrin jacket to keep the temperature extremes in check.

Plus, I love the bigger size! The black finisher from Z1 Motorsports matches it very well and overall blends with the rest of the interior rather nicely.

Oh, and replaced the interior vinyl knee/side panels on the center console with the "alcantara" ones from the roadster models. Now they match the door panels too. Sweet.

Picked up my new wheels after 3.5 month wait. They get mounted and balanced tomorrow on Hankook RS3 275/35 19 and 305/30 19. Now I wait until Spring...
