I had my Continental Dw 245-45-20 installed on my 2nd set of flower wheels at the dealer at no cost which was cool,pics below for comparison between the Conti- DW and the oem Goodyear f1 summer tires which have roughly 10k on them. Z

Did my first oil change (Royal Purple HPS 5w20 and hp2011) since taking ownership of the vehicle. Plan on replacing with Amsoil around March.
Also reglued my third brake light back to the rear windshield. Adhesive was failing (didn't see until too late) and I put the motor sunshade up in the back and it clipped the plastic cover and pulled the whole thing down. Was just hanging by a couple wires. Dealership wanted to replace the whole unit and I sad screw that. Glued it up with the rear view mirror glue. Only time will tell how well that will work.
Wanted to get my Mdesign intake installed today but rain started as soon as the other things were done. Didn't expect the rain to last a few hours. I guess that will have to wait until tomorrow or Saturday.

Just need to get my butt in gear and get the ptu fluid changed. With 70k on the odometer, I am almost scared to look at it. I can guarantee it is the original fluid because almost everything else is original on it.

Well, the 3rd brake light fell again. I used some rear view mirror glue and it help for about a day but just doesn't want to stay up. Followed the instructions perfectly and she just doesn't want to hold 
Looks like that goes back on to the to do list.

Got most of my MDesign intake installed. ran into a hiccup when we accidently dropped the front scoop part and it broke. Luckily, my cousin's neighbors offered to glue it up and throw a quick fiberglass wrap to hold it together. Hopefully get it back in the next day or two.
Was able to swap out the original spark plugs and replace with SP534s. Car just feels a lot smoother from that. Got on it a few times and it loved it. The traction control hated it though.
Picked up a quart of 75w140 and 2 quarts of 75w90 Severe gear. Found a local shop that carried it that was a couple blocks from my old work. Dude was super cool and that shop does a good amount of road course racing. Ended up talking to him for a good hour about his work and he really wanted to take a look at the SHO and was curious about it.
Also got around to checking out the third brake light. Apparently when it fell from the rear windshield this time, it pulled off this weird button connector that was glued to the rear windshield. I will make a separate thread for that later when I can take some pictures for clarification. It had my cousin and I stumped and I have never seen him like that when it comes to cars.
