I almost went with PIAAs this time around, but didn't want to wait for them to get here. The ones that came on mine were seriously terrible, but I didn't realize it until I got home from the dealer. I would have made them replace them, but driving an hour and a half each way for two free (likely not great) wipers isn't worth my time.

Maybe. I just know the Anco Contours are good because I had those on my '95 Grand Prix the entire time I owned it, never once gave me any problems. As far as I know, the person who owns the car now is still using the ones I put on. Anco just came out with another premium line blade, as well.

Took my 3.0R up to the ski hill with my kid and ended up parking next to another Gen 3!

Installed the factory subwoofer (the wiring anyway, it isn't probably mounted under the seat yet...just sitting there). When it came and I saw it was a Panasonic unit, I wasn't so sure about it, but WOW does it make a difference. Well worth it!

Should have my Weathertech floor liners on Friday, which is good because it's nearly impossible to keep that white carpet clean without them!

Also had some kid in a Dodge Neon with tinted windows and an obnoxious exhaust try to get ahead of me from a light today...guess he didn't realize that I probably have about double the horsepower. I only stoop to their level when they challenge me.

Definitely the right car for the trip!

I went to Pepboys and got a set of ProStop Premium Ceramic Brake Pads. I love them so far. Seems to stop just fine.

Warmed up today, only -6, so I gave her the first detail to get all the road grunge/salt and shipping film off, treat leather etc.. It was sad to see her so dirty!

all better now, for a couple days anyways. Winter sucks!

Sorry just noticed I'm in wrong thread!

As the title indicates, I blew the rear hatch support cylinders. it was a little cold, went to get the snow brush out from the back, and... psshshshshs.
crap.
now it feels like I'm lifting a cow off the rear bumper.
Anyone know of any fixes to blown support cylinders without replacing?
