Fourth of July weekend. Usually a time for cookouts, fireworks, and drinking. Heavily.

We got the cookout part down. And the drinking part. Us G-Fabbers is good at that game. The fireworks part, not so much. Note to self: no more setting them off inside the car:

Due to a change in the 2010 rules, we can now remove the airbags and everything related to them. It was a process. I am never taking a dash apart again. We also decided to take out speakers, amp, and AC evaporator. (The power door locks were too hard to get to in 90 bazillion degree weather.) Total weight savings: 25 lbs. Was it worth it? Maybe.

While I was playing in plastic, PJ was busy with the second half of the Project Panda Diet: hoodpins so the new hood doesn't fly up while racing and a) ruin the run, and b) waste $500.

We bought a cheap Harbor Freight dremmel, which proved useless due to its cordlessness. It came with some spiffy attachments though, so it wasn't all bad.

Aerocatch is full of win. Yay. Looks pretty good, huh?

PJ was so happy, he did flips.

New LCA's come in today, and the race to install before Finger Lakes will be on.

25 lbs of free weight savings = win.
