Spoke with new owners of Fuel for about 20 min this morning, really nice people. Nice turnout today to show support for re-opening. Now all we have to do is wait for the weather to get nice again... and for my 8 to crank over. Hopefully it's only the battery, Optima's with their gel cells need to be cranked about every week and I haven't done that so shame on me!

It's supposed to be colder tomorrow, but I'm game if you wait until then.
Bourbon, it was nice to meet you as well.
The new owners of fuel are cool. It's cool that some people from the local car community got together and and saved a place because it's part of the car community here. It's the last feel good story of '11.
On that note, Happy New Years all.

Woohoo, tires just ordered. 4 245/40/18 Toyo R1R's for $530 shipped. Can't beat the price for a super sticky street/track tire.
If anyone is interested, here's the link. Only 18 size available though.

Unbelievable, that's like a two for one! They look like they run a little wide, like maybe a 255. If I knew they weren't going to stretch that much I would pull the trigger. Cars flooded BTW.

Called Kerry Mazda, and they will not charge me for a de-flood (labor+plugs). I wonder if there is some new bulletin out on this, because I always had to pay before??? All I have to do is pay for an oil change, so not bad at all.

I tried to do mine, but the battery is shot and wouldn't have it. Not worried, It's snowing anyway. I'll just start working on the stuff i want to work on, well once i get off my *** an pull it back to the barn

Hope everyone stays safe today. I was out around noon and the roads were fine. The wife took the 8 out about an hour ago and she was sliding all over the place. A friend took me to where she pulled off so I could drive her home. Accidents everywhere.

I know looking ahead at the weather is a crap shoot, but next weekend is looking like decent weather (for now). If you need some help let me know. Just shoot me a pm, text or call. I don't have anything going on except for maybe getting started on my car.

Roads up north are fine. Maybe a patch of black ice here and there, but not too bad. I was tempted to take the 8 out this morning early when there was a light coat of snow just to see if I could get the TC light to not display. I chickened out and finished reading the Steve Jobs biography.

Third time this has happened. Oh well, my fault

I would but my car is slammed in the garage, and my dad is too old to push! If I had electricity in the garage I would have taken the plugs out myself. I am going to pick up the car tonight, there is some warranty paperwork I need to sign (I would guess for the flooding). But I would bet this only applies to people with less than 100K. The Optima battery is great and fully charged now. Cranks like a Champ.

Thanks Fuz. I will let you know. The wife and I are moving into an apt this Saturday but should only take a few hours since we really do not have that much stuff and we will have a lot of help. How long do you think it would take to get the front and rear springs on? We can maybe do it Sunday?
Anyone else brought their cars in to get the PCM reflashed? I heard a few months ago there is a new update for our cars. I think the file is called: MSP16?? Something along those lines..
