I've done a bunch of things this week:
Changed the oil, and got a blackstone report. Came back VERY good, and the magnetic plug barely had anything on it. I stepped into the oil drain pan while sliding out from under the car, so I had to throw my shoes out.

I swapped turn signal stalk assemblies with one from Woody (Thanks Woody!) so now my indicators work again. Bonus points for tightening down the screws on my OBC stalk, as they were loose before. Makes the car feel much more solid.
Here's a really low quality pic:


I threw my hard top on, and drove the car about 500 miles for a trip to the Cape.

This morning I spun it onto the grass on some wet pavement in a hard left turn. Oops!

This weekend I'll be cleaning her up for the PCA CVR rally.

I thought I was the only one to do that.

Did the same when I replaced the clockspring. I thought the lever was worn out and needed replacement but turned out just loose screws.
