    Washed the Rat after 5,000 miles to Wisconsin and back plus some running for work. Lots of bugs on the front but they came off easy with Adams polish being applied well before the trip. Used the new Adams Detail Spray and it is killer. Put my car cover I got from fellow members on here so now no more dusty car.

    Drove it! Unfortunately, scraped up the x-pipe and BMR tunnel brace but good getting out of a parking lot with a steep exit and quick drop-off on the other side. I was momentarily afraid I was going to see-saw the thing. Car is fine, save some new scars on a few parts.

    There are downsides to a lower ride height.

    Got my car back with new axles installed. I washed and thoroughly detailed it inside and out. Then tonight went on a test drive. Finally the car is vibration free! First time I got to experience the new power without any issues in 7 months! Rick Crawford intake and TB get installed in nine days!

    Debugged and detail her from a 250 mile round trip to a golf outing that the companymy son works for sponsors. He had been questioning my Maggie install, etc., but he thought it was a good idea after he drove it all day.
