Got my new Hankook Ventus S1 Noble 2 from the Tire Rack yesterday and had them mounted and balanced today. Tomorrow I get a new upgraded Motocraft battery, oil and filter at the dealership. All ready for winter. Feels real good

While we are now in Naples....

I am missing Storm and his fantastic imagination... or is it his bloviating!!!!!  Whatever it is... I miss you STORM!!!   

We know your Mazda is one of the 10 most missed vehicles sold here... I have 2 of the others... 2 G8'S!!!   I just wish our widowed friend would finally get her husband's car out of the drive... Realize she doesn't want to look at it at her home... but I don't want to look at it anymore either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I can't get my G8 off jack stands or wash my Flex.  Backup camera looks like it's vision is 20-200 due to road debris and rain!!

Haha, the R3 is parked for winter--no work to really do to it.

I'm still around; about to leave Thursday for Texas with the SHO--going to be an awesome 1600 mile drive down; can't wait to have a little fun with the twin turbo.

;)

Enjoy your trip... and understand that when you get south... the fast lane is the RIGHT lane...  Beware of Buicks in the left lane!!!!

My 08 G8 battery was DOA when I took her off the jack stands yesterday.  Tried and tried to charge.  Finally gave up and bought a new battery from Autozone. Purchaed their top "Gold" same style battery but 160 CA bigger in same size case.  After turning in old battery and receiving on line 20% discount.  I paid $155. with FL tax.  This was about $20. more than the best Motorcraft 850 CA I purchased for our Flex last summer from a Ford dlr.

Removing the battery from the trunk location is a BIG DEAL... Four bolts plus removal of the drivers side trunk liner!.. Damn heaviest battery I have ever lifted! I guess 5 + years isn't bad, even though the G8 has less than 24K mi.  Then... my message center switched to  Metric!  That was also a big deal to switch back...  Metric tire pressures are a hoot!  Thankfully I had my GPS working so I knew how fast I was going... Old Dog has trouble instantly converting MPH to KPH!!!

Hoping the right parts for my headlight swap show up tomorrow.  I have the headlights.  Just need the new style bulbs or adapters to use them.  The parts are on their way overnight from Tasca.  They were supposed to go out Tuesday and didn't so they picked up the over night freight for me. Still kicking myself for wanting a lighter tint and pulling off the darker, along with the UV coating!
