Got two new rear tires (Hankook V12s) under warranty, because they found nails in both rear tires when they rebuilt my transmission under warranty.

It's an '09 with ~32K miles. I bought it with 19K miles.

5th started grinding. When the Mazda dealership took apart the transmission to replace 5th, they found that 6th was replaced at some Mazda dealership in Colorado before I bought it, and that service center put in some shaft backwards, which wore out 6th as well. So they went ahead and rebuilt the whole thing.

Thank goodness for warranties.

Dirty? With all the road construction around me, my 8 hasn't been that clean in almost a year. It was detailed last summer, but there's no point now until they finish these projects. As soon as I take it out, it looks like crap again

I drove up to WCS's place with beers

We installed speed bleeders on my 8 and changed out the brake fluid. Speed bleeders are a great mod for any car!

We also created a new tune to enable advantages of BHR ignition.

More to come!

Isn't it? The immobilizer is on the fritz, so.....I bought a PCM, Keyset, Ignition Lock and all that happy **** from the same car. Still didn't work.
So, I sent the new one to racing beat today to be programmed without the immobilizer feature so I could drive my car again.
Though, the PT is a GT, so, it feels "gofast".
