    Dropping weight!

    I'm a nudge under 6'3" and just turned 45 and coming off some stressful years I'm in the process of dropping weight from a high of 251 to a goal of 195-200. In February I started walking a little at first and up to hours a day (usually 14 miles), hitting the weight room a bit when my ankles...

    Yep, 650D and a 2A3 amp (Eddie Current Aficionado). You guys are on point.

    Off Topic So slow I'm ashamed...

    My Home Studio, built around a 4770K and recently threw in a GTX 1080. I can almost always have the windows open in the afternoon with warm Southern California breezes and the sound of birds chirping. It's a very pleasant space and I feel very lucky.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    I got a window chip this week that I tried to fix with one of those $12 kits. The small imperfection in the glass is still visible, but it's better than it was.

    Wax and clear coat

    I got my front half covered with film and there are no lines. All of the pieces of film cover complete segments of the body. I.E. the piece of film on the hood covers the entire hood and wraps under so that any line would actually be underneath. The exception would be the side mirrors and door...

    Stopped at a gas station in my neighborhood after a wash and wax to pick up a couple beers. [/IMG]

    new small suv's with flash

    The new Toyotas in general strike me as tacky, like they overcompensated for the years of being bland.

    How does Auto Hold work?

    I don't use autohold to much, even around LA. I feel like the car kind of lurches a bit to get out of being held. Come to think of it, I had actually forgotten my ride even had the feature.

    "ATTENTION" ALL 2017/2018 CX-5 owners

    I've got 10,000 miles on my 17 Silver and the only chip is where I ran over a tumbleweed at about 70MPH. I got the full front half clear bra treated within a few days of taking ownership and haven't thought about it since.

    CX-5 Beauty Shot Thread

    I saw a very clean SCR CX-5 on the road yesterday. Striking color for sure, but I don't think I'd want one over, in my case, silver.

    2017 CX-5 Soul Red Crystal Metallic

    I drove my then month old Sonic Silver '17 with a full front end clear bra from LA to Toronto and back in mid January, including trying and failing to get through Denver's freezing rain on MLK Day. I came so close to a horrible accident when a guy in front of me spun out that I ran over his...

    CX-5 Beauty Shot Thread

    It seems like it's the hills where you especially need to watch out, either for fires or obviously mudslides. I'm insulated from any of that but I imagine I'll be affected by water shortage at some point and probably at least a minor earthquake. Still, most of my way through my first Southern...

    ^Oh Yeah, 18-24 months of Glendale rent would pay for a small house in Warren/Youngstown, but the last time I was in Warren/Youngstown wages and opportunities were... limited.
