Hey Steve,
how do you think silver metallic rocker panel stripes would go with your scheme?

Jealous. Went to Germany this last summer and pondered how awesome a Mustang would be....
Went to Italy the summer before and on the first day we saw a BEAUTIFUL red Gt500... it was gorgeous. It's hilarious how small the cars are over there, I hope to take a road trip somewhere in Europe sometime in my Gt ^^

So I am getting a little anxious to drive my car which I haven't done since the end of August. I have one more tire to purchase so that I can make it through the snow when I get there. There surprisingly hasn't been any snow since just before Thanksgiving and that is a little unnerving. They say if the winter holds out then it will last longer. I was in Germany from the 2nd week in January and it sucked to have to walk around in that snow. They are really good at keeping the roads clean so I'm not too worried. Once it's cold, it stays cold. We will see.
When I get back from this God forsaken country that I'm in now and back to Germany I will be installing a new set of Michellin Pilot Sport A/S + tires in 275/40 19 all the way around. Reviews of how they hold up to follow.

I have been getting reports from there from my wife that all her local German friends are saying that the winter will be bad next month and through April since it has waited so long to get cold there. I got there on Jan 9th of this year and it was snowing that night and didn't stop till pretty much April. At least this next year I won't be sleeping out in that during that time.

I just put those same tires in that same size on my Stang and I love them so far. I don't drive in the snow tho so can't help you there but I have in the rain and they have great wet performance. The Michelins are way better than the Pirelli that were on there before.

So I'm finally back home after a 6 month vacation in crappy Afghanistan and it's great to be home. I opened the garage to find 4 brand new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S + tires staring at me. I got them installed and in the process the insides of the wheels got a little scratched up from taking the old wheel weights off and new ones put on. Two of my wheels had corrections that were pretty much the same as the weights that came off. In the exact same spots too. Kind of weird. The tires definitely look more meaty from the sides and especially from the front and rear. I went 275/40/ZR19 all the way around and I can really tell the difference. Pretty much since I have been home the weather has been in the 30's and it snowed last night but didn't stick. I know that I should take it easy on this new set of tires for about 500 miles of break in but it's so tempting trying to push them to see how much they have in them. It's been wet out and I just got back from not driving anything for half a year so I'll wait a while before I push them.
I will post some pictures in the sunlight of my dirty car so you guys can see what it looks like. I also noticed that my rear axle sits out more on the driver's side. I guess I didn't notice it before. Adjustable PHB is on the list anyway so I might have to make that my next mod. It's going to bother me till I get that centered. Stupid OCD.
I picked up 9 quarts of RP 5W-30 and a FR500S filter yesterday so I'm going to change my oil when I get off work at noon. When I left I had about 30% oil life left on the computer and as soon as I got her started (after having to put the battery charger on there for about an hour) I got the "OIL CHANGE REQUIRED" message on the dash. $84 for the oil and filter is pretty good since I don't have to pay for shipping or wait. It's nice to work half days.

Took some new pics last night with the new camera that I got. I have been wanting a nice DSLR camera and found a super good deal on one a couple of days ago. I have spent the last couple of days reading the manual and figuring out all the features that this thing has. Here are a few of the pictures that I took.
