I'm all ready to go !

I had a flat on the interstate a while back. Had to put a plug in it. Discount Tire wouldn't put a patch on it. Tires were over 12 years old they said. Only had about 10k miles on them. Went to see Pablo this morning he put a patch on tire for me. Guess I'm good for another 12 years with all the tire prep I've put on them over the years. They look brand new.

Weather was 67 degrees today. Bright sunshine. Washed and waxed the car today. Took the scoop off . Hit the ribs of the shaker with a fresh coat of "chrome" paint. The ribs needed a touchup after 12 years. Cleaned and degreased under the hood especially under the shaker where I normally can't reach. Put a fresh coat of tire prep on tires. Bought a set of new headlights https://lmr.com/item/LRS-13008I-K/01...-Headlight-Kit from LMR since they were on-sale. Will install them in the coming weeks.

All I have to do now is watch Patrick Mahomes hand the 49ers their a$$ to them in a bucket during the Super Bowl tomorrow.

Nice! :pics:

I really miss mine. It’s been in hibernation since early November because of my hip replacement and now the winter.

I have Cooper tires that are now 11 years old. Garage kept and tire dressed, only 14,000 miles. No sidewall cracking at all, nitrogen filled.

Re: I'm all ready to go !

I'm probably looking at the newer Firehawk Indy 500s later this year for mine, but I've had to replace the battery recently, so I did some housekeeping work in spots you don't normally see while i was there. The seats need some love, and the front bumper is having paint issues, but I continue to drive mine regularly, and love every minute of it.
