TPMS reset unsuccessful; still holding out hope.

Got stopped for speeding yesterday, but only spanked, no ticket.
63 in a 50.......
Local, nice, no drama.
Whew.

Did NOT interfere with 'the dance' :drive:

Seriously, her beau is going Army active (from full-time Guard), and they need to be married to capture all the bennies (going to Ft Drum).

So, since his orders arrived much much sooner than anticipated, it's fair to say their schedule compressed radically.

Proud happy daddy and mommy! Wedding this Monday!
I love all my girls.
Good for you...Congrats! Next you'll be a granpa...

Beautiful daughter, wonderful beau, happy wife, proud daddy.


Finally got the TPMS hack figured out, and made it about 15 miles before the "Service TPMS" light came back on; I'll try it again when I have time to find free air.
Not discouraged.

Gas mileage continues to improve, last tank Mobil premium 27.4 MPG.
That includes plenty of heavy throttle and high-speed runs.

Starting my plan for 'summer' tires.........


Like the car, and the colors are growing on me.

Success!
TPMS hack completed, car to be inspected (and legally plated) today!

Hyper-velocities await!


Glad I still have the snows on, 'cause it snowed.

Last tank Mobil premium 24.3MPG; poopy. Oil change next week.

Had a chance yesterday to do a bit of zoomin'.
So I did, and it was great fun.
Paved, dirt, mud, glorious sunshine, 80+F.

SEEMS LIKE MPG improved slightly AFTER the oil change, but more testing required.

I do enjoy the less-crashy ride from this SE.

Dichotomous charm: I miss the sharp tight handling of the GTS, but enjoy the smooth tenacious grip of the SE.
Crashy, jittery stick vs supple lean.

I need to get the snows off bad...........

Last tank Mobil premium 26.7MPG. It's the season when dirt roads get scraped 'smooth', leaving gravelly marbley joy. Hammer down!
Cops EVERYWHERE........... :shock:

Drove 507 miles yesterday; even with the elevated Interstate speeds I was carrying ( 8-) ) gas mileage was great at 27.9 from Mobil premium.

Now I'm testing Shell premium.......
