^haha it is not that bad. It can definitely suck though. IMO the one of the main issues with traffic is they do not build the roads with enough lanes.

FatMat's 70mil MegaMat. The floor mat will arrive next Wed. I will add about 30 lbs to my car, but boy is it worth it. My car is approaching a peaceful cabin experience.

Core support was in the way so I just cut it off...need to drill out the actual support from the body but for now a sawzall was good enough to give me an idea how much room I have for my radiator.

Somewhat new to the area (Issaquah), clutch is starting to go out on my 2004 GT, can anyone recommend a repair shop? Thinking about upgrading the flywheel at the same time and trying to avoid going to the dealership… Thanks in advance

Success! Made it down to the inner door skin. Next step is to sound proof the doors to the luxury coffin sound I am looking for. I dropped plans to track this car, so I'm adding weight by sound proofing the whole car. Doors are next along with the floor. I'm also going to apply a new undercoating to the outside.

I am going to go really nuts on the doors! 80mil CLD first layer and then .25" MLV layer over that. Which means, the doors will be real heavy. Tracking is expensive these days, and I'm tired of all the noise in the cabin. I want to hear a pin drop and enjoy the ride again with still being able to hear myself think.

adding weight = not being able to track a car
