Not yet, I have been busy the last couple of weeks. Between work and working with a buddy on my days off. I haven't had much time to even set the tuner back up right. I have been driving my truck. I did take last Wednesday afternoon off and drove the Mustang to Toronto to pick up the 2012 rims. I'm off next week, so I plan on catching up on a few things including a new battery and adjusting the tune.

LOL....my hubby (truck driver) saw you going through Bowmanville that day. He noticed the Stang on the other side of the 401, top down right?

Just curious but is your hubby a longhaul driver or does he get to stay pretty local?

Yup, that could have been me top down, hat on and grinning ear to ear both ways. I went through west bound at about 4:15 - 4:30 pm and back east bound about 6:30 pm. Got home at 7:30. Played tag on and off with a lady driving a Black Dodge Charger with tinted windows from Port Hope to Belleville.

Yep, he said you were wearing a hat. He notices all the nice cars on the highway!

DD...he's long haul but mostly Maine to Toronto, sometimes Leamington (Windsor Ontario). But just a few weeks ago, the weekend of the Coca Cola 600 he got a load from Toronto to Charlotte Motor Speedway. Unfortunately he had to turn around and come back with a load, otherwise the guys there said he could stay to watch the races.

Damn, too bad he had to turn and burn, that would have been a great race to see. I respect all truck drivers, but especially the longhaul guys. I did it for a couple of years, and it's not easy being away from family and friends.

I put the freshly painted GT front bumper and grille on this weekend. I also installed the new chrome turn signals. Roddy, the bottom panel fit nicely. The 3 back holes line right up to the holes in the frame.

Just a minor scratch where someone tried to pop off the center cap. Now to try and find some tires for them. What size do I need going from 16" to 18"? That also means that the Bullitt Rims will be going up for sale.

Look, I went and did it again! I changed my mind.

I came across some 2014 take offs Mustang Club of America Special Edition 18-inch Sterling Grey Metallic-painted aluminum wheels with Pirelli P Zero Nero P235/50ZR18 Tires. So here I go again, drove to Thornhill and back 4 1/2 hour round trip. But this time I'm ready. I have already picked up the upgraded brake rotors and brackets. I also know that the TMPS sensor's have to be changed. Got them too, Roddy delivered to me some time ago from AM in his big brown hot box van. Now to get everything together and put on. My next trip to North Carolina is coming up in March and I will be ready for that. So now the 2012 18" rims and the original 2009 16" rims and tires are for sale. My wife wants to know when am I going to stop buying rims for the Mustang. My answer was when I find the ones I will be happy with.

I put the 2014 Rims and tires on the Mustang today. They make the car look aggressive.
