Ordered o2s for my GS today. Nothing's wrong with the oem ones I just wanna see if I could get some better gas mileage.

Also stopped and snapped this pic on my way home from work.

New replacement windshield, and, took care of the broken vacuum line which set my P0446 CEL code
Also did a full charge on my battery...it was 68% and was costing me a few MPG as the alternator was doing a lot of work to get it charged.

Now thinking about having the timing belt and water pump replaced as a general maintenance thing. I just went over 216K miles and the shop quoted me 962.00 out the door, which seems reasonable.

Its an AWD, 68K miles, and has the navi, sunroof, etc. Its still sitting at the dealer, won't be done until Monday so I wish i could tell you. Initial impressions, it's small, its not fast (and everyone will say get a 350), but it drives well, handles well, and is just a good car all round. Besides wheels, a light tint, and a good detail, I wont be changing a thing.

Added LED signals with resistors to fix the hyper flash :-)

LED Tails next, just need to find a good resister for them that doesnt overheat. This way I dont have that annoying taillight error come up.
