Default My baby's 1st birthday. Look what I got her.LoL

I notice a lot of 1st bday for you guys car lately. So her she is..



So really I'm going broke with this car with pumping at least 80-100 bucks a week on gas and 1000 car note with this mug. So all I could afford was some blue painters tape so the ears on my baby doesn't get hurt. Other then that I'm pretty please with my purchase. On another note, what's the highest mileage anyone has gone on one full tank of gas. Here's mine. I believe I could hit about 420 before refueling.

Oh yea, I'm dropped on Tanabe GS rated springs. Just the front as for my back the 2 12 does the drop evenly.

Question, were you going autocross/SCCA solo II? OR do you normally drive around with the blue tape on our dumbo ears?

HAHAHAHA....NO.. I drive a lot on the turnpike(florida) and a lot of bugs at night. Usually I take out the bra and mask onces I get to my destination. I was told if the bra is left on it could ruin the paint.

Have you heard about painters tape? It's actually good. You could leave it on for up to 14 days and itwould come off with ease. But as I say, I just put it on when I have that 2-3 hour long drive and then its off.SORRY don't know how to do multiple quotes..

I'm sorry but all that is just DUMB!!! Those car masks are straight out of the 80's and should have remained there. Taking the mask on and off will scratch your paint anyway. Putting on and taking off painters tape on a daily basis.. safe or not is gonna get pretty old after a while. Just get clear bra'ed on your hood and mirrors.

You need to take a chill pill.. LoL. It's my problem if I feel like doing this to my ride. Who said daily basis? I said on my 2-3hr trips I do it and only if I'm driving at NIGHT. It's not fun scrubbing those bugs off. You haven't read my post clearly did ya? So MAYBE you are the DUMB one.(ok I need to relax.lol) If I had lose change I don't think i would get the clear bra. Wait a few years and if one side lifts up for some reason and you had to take your clear bra out you probably will see a color difference. Or even when lifting occurs and little dirt and other things get in it. But back to my post about the miles to a tank of gas?
