I can park in one spot , getting E85 from one pump and E10 from the another . Just means I have to go to the self serve twice

Detailed the car and took advantage of the sunny day to take some pics yesterday. Here's a few shots. I'm no pro and my camera is an old first gen Rebel dSLR. Just for fun

I sprayed my crash bar matte black. Thinking about doing the IC the same way...one day. 1st world problems.


Have you thought about parking your car up beside that electrostatic generator and cranking it up? Would make some very cool pics.

Actually, funny you should ask... I agree t would make for some good photography! But since I already had to replace the logic board in my garage door opener (wife was not happy when she couldn't open the garage door the morning after Halloween) I decided best to keep the vehicles with expensive ECUs away from it

Faraday mesh wire vinyl wrap FTW. Also handy for those post-apocalyptic EMP Survival scenarios.
