    Default What did you do to your car today?

    Just curious. This thread exists on my local forum and it's pretty popular.

    I'll start: I tried starting it, and it sputtered and died. I guess LSJ's don't like sitting outside in sub-zero temps overnight.

    After I got it running, I moved it into the garage where I proceeded to vacuum the cabin and trunk, switch out my summer floormats for winter ones, air up the Blizzaks to 32psi (up from 23) and slam my intercooler pump with a hammer while spraying the endbell with motor cleaner spray in order to get it working again.

    Then drove it to school, of course.

    I looked at mine, told myself I should run it through the wash to clean off the copious amount of brake dust, but didn't end up doing it

    I drove it, washed it, considered moon hub caps for the winter for it to keep the brakes clean *thinking* ....

    said hello to the hibernating RL in the heated garage . Gee Eric did a nice job on the hood paint work...
