I'm ahead of you there. Just did the 5 speed mod but needed to restore the power I lost and then some. Put bigger nozzles in her last week and wow! Thinking of tune and egr delete next but the power the bug has now, not sure Ill do that yet.

Papaperdelaledoeldoganel, that's a sweet akita!

. Oh, and you need more "crap" in your garage... it's against the law to have that much space available

It's been a while since we gave her a good going over so I guess it was due. Things went so fast we barely had time to just get our junk out. Glad Tracie likes it!

(It wasn't filthy/nasty/worked over - she's just VEEERRRRYYYY clean!) We took her through an automated wash on Saturday evening but didn't really touch the outside fortunately. We woke up to 10° temps and frozen-over trucks from the mist that fell overnight. Today, they're both filthy again... on the outside!

She's a little nervous with me in the passenger seat but LOVES it. The heated seats, adjustable pedals... and it's a diesel! I wish you guys could hear her say "I'm excited to be driving a big diesel rig!!"

Here's the one pic I have with me. After spending the day outside in the cold scrubbing, vacuuming, shampooing, disinfecting, and detailing the Ex, I thought dinner at Joe's Crab Shack would be the way to finish off the day; and Tracie drove there & back. Below is a pic of her first parking job. Pretty darn good I'd say!!
