For driving an S2000 in the snow...


You're the worst.

Can grocery: check.



The clock next to the cruise control switch was worse than nothing (couldn't see it without craning my neck or turning the wheel), so I relocated it to this somewhat more janky but still acceptable location:

Installed one of my two PIAA horns today, the easy one, i.e. the one on the shock tower and not behind the front bumper.
  1. remove OEM horn
  2. clip connector
  3. solder/heat-shrink a new lead with crimped female quick-disconnect matching horn (there's not enough factory wire to make the connection)
  4. spread the ground spade which came with the horns to fit around the bolt
  5. connect the horn and bolt it up

Success! Now just need to set aside some additional dry-weather time for the bumper removal and do the second horn.

I got some Bosch Icon wiper blades yesterday. They have a flat, low-profile design without the usual frame, which means they don't have enough tension to hold to the S2000 windshield's tight edge curves, so they miss the very edge of the passenger side. Doesn't affect driver view, but the missed patch looks poor, so I cannot recommend these blades.

Thanks! AP1 doesn't have a dash clock AFAIK, or at least mine doesn't. The factory radio has a clock, but I generally keep the door closed. I think when I install my aftermarket radio, I'll delete the door and get rid of the velcro clock.

Alarm installed. The installer missed replacing the trim retainer right next to the dead pedal so now the trim is sticking out and weirdly messing with my ability to drive. Gotta sort that out. I hate people working on my car
