It has been a while, but there hasn't really been a lot of news to report.
I was dealing with a bouncing speedometer issue at stoplights, but I apparently mis-wired my Dakota Digital speedometer adapter last time I had the dash apart...
A few weeks ago, I was preparing to have some guests over for a cookout and the table umbrella on my deck was taken by the wind.. which was promptly deposited on my car. Luckily, it mostly landed on the already-dented fender, but it did scratch the hood a little bit. I was intending on repainting it soon anyways. I guess I will need to replace the fender sooner than I thought.
And lastly, I really need to figure out some different pads, I had almost forgotten that my wheels are supposed to be silver! I picked up some Meguiar's Wheel Cleaner on saturday, since my wheels and calipers were essentially flat black in color. They are amazingly shiny now, but I did end up using half the bottle to get them that way. I also now have a very large black/brown streak down my driveway...
I still cannot find anyone who has the 308 series Stoptech pads, other than TireRack. I was hoping that RockAuto or Amazon would have them by now.
