Here's a thread to post whatever you've done to your car today, big or small, there's always something to do, but not always big enough for it's own thread
 Should be a good history of the work everyone does on their pride and joy I changed the oil in my rear diff and polished my car

Had plans to work on it, install "new" used sunvisors, shifter trim, and other interior parts. But it rained, so I just drove it around instead.

Once again, I adjusted my low beams gaskets because the guy who sold me my 6gc didn't put on all the clips when he installed the HID kit.

Got up, checked on her in the garage, then went to eat breakfast. Rode to the gym with my mom, walked back, walked past my car, and...that's about it. In an hour she'll get driven.

....... I parked the celi in my driveway. Washed it. clay bared it. polished it with some rubbing compound. applied back to black to all the plastic/rubber surfaces. washed it again. and waxed it. then I put on the finishing touch with a q-tip and a toothpick to get the extra dried wax out of those hard to reach places. After all that I rubbed my face all over the enormous dent in the rear fender. hit & run for the win...

hmmm tough decision! Red really suits the shape of the car, and the standard red is a nice deep glossy colour when it's shiny
I've always thought the metallic RX-8 red is a fantastic colour....! -------------------- |

Good for you dude, I'm happy to hear that as well. I remember I was elated when mine came back after a week of being lost. Fatty's fine now, he's very skinny (down to 8.5 pounds), but he's eating and doing his business again. Anyway, get in chat sometime so we can quit effing up this thread. And I drove my friend back to her house, and on the way back proceeded to try to burn off the rest of these Potenzas. As my tires are complete crap and need replacing, I'm going to be taking the tC wheels off when the rain season starts (probably now, so they might come off tonight depending on this week's weather report) and put the ol' steelies back on. tC wheels are getting a repaint.

Washed my car for the 5th time in 3 weeks cause it gets dirty from particles in the air. Cleaned out my engine bay area with a wet/dry vac. Also my trunk and cabin. Then cleaned my rims and dried everything with a leather dry rag. Stared at him for about 5 minuets and then yelled at my wife for putting her finger prints on my car and wiped him down all over again. Then gently back my car ass first into the garage and watched the door close and then went and played some xbox 360.

Today I filled my Celica up with gas and someone walked by and said "Nice Supra, dude!" I just smiled and waved.
Then, as I was pulling out of the gas station, someone on a motorcycle went by me and said "MEAN RIDE BRO!" I love my car to death!
