Shoveled a couple of inches of snow off of the driveway and sidewalk. Plus 4-6” in tomorrow’s weather forecast, and more again Tuesday night and Thursday night into Friday. I hate winter. :(

^^ nothing beats living in Cbus in the winter when it comes to snow. We don't much at all anymore. Today we got maybe 1/2" to 1" and it's gone from the driveways and streets. Hence why for the first time in many many years and vehicles I didn't opt for a set of winter wheels.
Three Things:
Dynomatted the entire trunk to seal out any sound and the low-tones from the exhaust that would occasionally pop up when the car would loaf along in 5th gear at 35-40mph. 100% gone now and it really really did a lot overall. Sound deadening in the trunk wasn't something the Japanese put a lot of effort into. That box is check now though. Super quiet inside now less the growl from that classic G-Series sound.
Mounted the factory style OEM Spoiler. Purchased this through Spoiler Express and couldn't be happier. The color matches perfectly including the metallic flake. Extremely uniform application and clear coat. They nailed it! It's mounting tape/adhesive mount and locked on tight. They taped it very nicely too so that it's sealed from water all the way around.
Great add-on for a mere $160 shipped to my door and made and painted just outside Dallas, TX.
Lastly, I installed a new larger cargo net since the factory supplied one was rather small and honestly not much use. I need to be able to haul more than a few small items in it. The new one allows for more room inside and in between the netting and the rear of the car/trunk.

114 years later, Cadillac has a 640HP Supercharged V-8 in the 2018 CTS-V.[emoji2]
It’s missing the rear cover... The last page has a list of all the Cadillac dealerships nationwide.

I’ll go out on a limb and say you won’t find a Cadillac brochure for sale that precedes this 1 anywhere in the world. [emoji289]

That's killer Eldo, nice find!
Well I was sitting in my home office this morning browsing AGO at 4:30 am. I heard the sump pump in the basement kick on, its always been a bit loud IMO, then heard a noise I never heard before. I tracked it back to the sump pump, pit was empty, pump still running and smoking! Got it turned off, started doing research as I know nothing about sump pumps. Figured out I had a very basic cheapo model, went to Lowe's at 8am and upgraded to a higher end model, had a Tim Taylor moment More Power! Got home prepped the new unit in the kitchen, took it downstairs cut the old unit out, had to re-plumb a few things. Did a test hit all is well! Was not the Sunday morning I was looking forward too.
Picked up my first ever “hobby car”. 2003 Nissan 350Z with 36,000 miles. My brothers first car, sold to an employee of mine when he got married because he “had to” and my employee never drove it. Never even tagged it. It’s got a lot of go fast goodies and needs some tlc mainly on the interior but I love it and got a smoking deal so I’m good!! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7331ea20df.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b217afd7b7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...eda2e3d5d1.jpg

You can find them online for $200-1000 depending on thedriver. This one though he donated to a charity Andy Lally did. I donated and got entered into his drawing. He had a bunch of suits gloves, a helmet, lots of signed stuff. I requested a suit, this driver is about my size so I figured it would fit. It does and will get more use. It has a fia certification from 2017 so it's good yet.
Picked up my Elk European mount, my 9 month old daughter can't keep her hands off it and mom is disgusted. Attachment 62824
