What have you done to your P5 today?

no, the heel is used for the clutch while the toe is for the brake. yes, sideways.

gas, not clutch :)

I haven't washed my car since... oh lord... it has been a while, this is bad. If we could get some weather over 32F that'd be great. But no, it has been like single digits a lot of the time. Black = hardest to keep clean. It is so dirty :( I'm anal too, when it was nice, I'd wash it weekly and use the california duster in between washes to keep the dust off.

ehh I dunno...white gets pretty dirty fast too. Black shows water spots and salt better, but White shows dirt the best.

I miss my car SOO MUCH! Sad, I know, but that's how it is :(. And to answer the inevitable questions, no, it's not sold or wrecked, I'm visiting family for the hollidays, and the car's back home.

And I guess you can put me down for "Today I miss my car" for every day since the 15th, and up through the 8th of January lol

Ouch I can't imagine not driving or seeing my Protege5 for that long. The longest I've ever gone was three days while she was getting repainted to eliminate rust. I don't know how you'll make it that long, but we're all here for you. :p
 
I came out on my lunch to see three guys in suits looking in the windows and walking around it. Not really suspicious looking, more admiring it. I stood back and watched for a minute until one of them leaned against it. Then I unlocked it and got a cd out. They asked all of the normal questions. Gas mileage, how fast, how roomy inside, blah blah. (thumb)

I appreciate you guys' support! It's gonna be rough, but I know with you guys around, I think I'll make it
 
Today I couldnt stand my scratched steering wheel emblem anymore so I took it off and mixed up some glue with black paint poured it onto the steering wheel and pressed a chrome emblem on it which I ordered off of ebay for $6 dollars. (thumb)

Push started it twice. Will be a third time in a few minutes.

Broke a few things today. Dumped acid all over the engine compartment also. Talk about a fun day. Think the rad will need replacing, as will the upper rad hose.

That looks AWESOME. There is one scratch on my emblem, which was the only sign that the car was used when I got it.
 
drove her...then realized that im getting a weird ass noise sounding like the a/c compressor turning on...although the a/c isnt on and this this is a whole lot louder and more constant...no, its not the vics problem...i dont think...
 
Installed yellow Rockblocker fog light tints on the fogs.

It looks SWEET! Too bad I don't have a digital camera, but it goes with the yellow car perfectly. I'm thinking of getting some now for the headlights. (thumb)

Also have a shorty antenna coming in the mail, will install that as soon as it arrives.
If the weather warms up on friday like they're saying, I'm giving her a bath. It's just getting disgusting now.
 
Well, it was yesterday, but I installed a hard wire kit for my new Passport 8500 X50 (red), and hopefully eliminated my aftermarket stereo from rattling around in the dash.
 
I haven't seen my P5 this week...I hope she's still in the garage where I left her.
 
I hope mine's still in the Mercer Police Parking lot where I left mine...a week ago today :(
 
*sniff *sniff

I left mine in the care of total strangers, I hope she doesn't feel like I abandoned her!.
