After much debating whether it was worth the $, I broke down and put a proper horn button on my steering wheel. It's subtle but I think it looks nice.

I wanted a little splash of color to breakup all the silver and black. I tried red vent trims, but felt they were a bit too much. I decided to stick with the original silver trims, but with red slats inside the vent.

Anyone want to buy a set of red vent trims?

I drove over a rock and learned that a cracked sump plate will hold oil until the engine is shut off.

Pretty much. It was at a Rallycross. I had just finished a run was turning around to line back up for another. Not one of my 'street' cars, but one that I had started parting out and then put some parts back onto to have some fun. '04 base with 190k miles, no interior or title:

Thats why I love my dishwasher armor plating I have under my car. When I go off road it takes a beating like a champ.

That's a great idea and better strength than most of the automotive scrap I have around. The sump plate is replaced now and the car is good except for cracked plastic belly panels.

I've got to ask, what is dishwasher armor plating?

I bolted part of a dishwasher under my car.

Very much same principle when getting a flat tire... you can easily drive on a "flat" to the next exit/pull-off/side street etc. w/o concern (or of hurting rim). Once you stop though ...

Hey it's just like life in general so keep driving!

Good luck
