Yeah, once the clouds completely lifted I knew the temperature was going to be ruthless, and it didn't disappoint. Brilliantly sunny here, but insanely cold.

Yep.

Do you have a 5 speed?

If so just roll it down the driveway and pop the clutch.

can't be too careful with this online stuff, and people getting the wrong idea...
seeing how inconsequential it was, I don't know why our mutual friend bothered mentioning it though...



How's the search for a replacement bumper skin going?

Have you tried Forest Lawn Auto(wreckers)?
How about Allen & Son's??

im not getting a bumper skin for a WHILE. i would rather spend the money on other mods and get around to it eventually. it is still very hard to notice and you have to be looking at the exact spot to notice it. its also just the bottom of it. if it falls off, then i guess ill get a new one right away. but i do need to go to bucks auto body to look for clips for my grille
