Tomorrow I go in to my exhaust guru and get the old cutout/glasspak system installed on the new car. :woohoo:

This install will be much more sanitary than the old one. I managed to get ahold of some real GT exhaust tips, somehow. :p

So it f'ing snows! Today I have to wire the electronics, attach the heat shield and run the cables. It is 28F in my f'ing garage right now and I have to lay on bare concrete to get underneath. Oh, WTF! When my flippers get numb I can just soak them in boiling water for a few. :hang:

"What's that smell? Who's cooking fish?"

I use a creeper then I don't have to lay on the cold cement even though my garage is heated.

Great idea, but....

Problem #1 Penguins are kinda roundish. Imagine a flabby bowling pin.

Problem #2 This is the biggie! There is no, none, zip, nada clearance under a G8GT.

What I didn't finish today I'll do in the AM when it's up in the air. Yes, I do have to use a stepladder!

:nah:
