Didn't touch the car other than wash it but did something for it.
I recognized I have a problem.
Well, besides the obvious rubber & aluminum fetish, I realized I couldn't go buy another set of wheels I really wanted this weekend cuz the garage simply couldn't hold no mo'!
And yeah, there's more that you can't see and yes, those four boxes up top have more round aluminum things in them.
So I got off my lazy duff, head off to the Home Despot, got me some wood (don't say it) and built this thang:
It works!
And still have room for muh cah!
I love $12. solutions to dumb problems.
And no, not going to buy the wheels that prompted this fit of energetic construction... I realized just how stupid it is when the two sets of tires on the new rack haven't even touched pavement yet.

And my wife is happy.
Dude, I distinctly said "don't say it" but you couldn't resist couldja? Laff.....
And THAT was TLDR????? Wow, man, that's the shortest thing I've given here (TWSS) and it was mostly pitchurs! A bit attention deficit are we?

I can't wait until I have that problem. Lol. After I order my next set then I'll needs me a home depot tire rack!!! Lol.
If ever you decide to admit you have a problem and sell off some wheels, you just let me know. I'm very comfortable with my shoe obsession.

SS brake lines with a flush, Coolant hoses with a flush, Rear shock mounts/gasket - to get rid of that DAMN annoying rattle, Z1 fuca's for a bit more camber and of course a spring O&F. But she's got to warm up a bit before anything happens 28F for a HIGH tomorrow + unheated garage = no dice! Damn spring fever! - It's punishing.

I keed, I keed. My ancient a$$ spent the day DRIVING my car, not working on it. (Though there's stuff to do...)
Hell, I didn't even loosen a single lugnut.... just did a simple color test...
...NEXT to it.
And before anyone asks... no, those are NOT replicas.

weather was nice, had nothing on the schedule, so i pointed the car north and drove -made a lot of turns- then 6 hours later- +/- ~ 300 miles- came back home. drove thru pasco county, polk county, pinellas county, hernando county then back to hillsborough county.

Finally put in a head unit. First time doing one, took just shy of four hours, most of which was spent soldering. For some reason, the $6 eBay soldering iron just doesn't work that well
