Yeah,  from what I can tell they just started offering this service. 

The keys did not come with a fob so I'm going to buy one, get it cut then program the key myself since it can be DIY if you have two keys.

Whoa, no wonder why you were upset when you saw that on your brand new baby. Glad they fixed it!

yeah... i have no idea how i missed it... turns out it was just in the clear coat luckily, so it's all still original paint.

the other one is the dart i had for two days... averaging 6.1l/100kms... i was impressed... it was an auto with the 2.0 loaded up... i got better mileage than my turbo standard demo did on the same drive...

Wow....your hinges look so pristine..... :drool: :drool:

Well the starter took me about 2 hours, ay longer than usual....but thats a lot of water and running in the house for air con because it was hot an muggy. Unfortunately also found that I have a leaking CV axle and a hub bearing that has a lot of play....boo. But with the fender liner off, I should be able to do my exhaust manifolds no problem.

New Amsoil went in Friday.  Now all the car's fluids have been changed (diff, Haldex, brakes, transmission, engine oil) with the exception of coolant over the last two weeks.

I was a few beers in by that point so my cell phone picture taking abilities may have been compromised.

It takes years off the apparent age of the car that way.  Just like those anti-aging cream for women commercials on TV.  Put on a fuzzy filter on the camera lens and budda-boom budda-bing!  You're 10 years younger.

Nice car, btw.  I've always liked those Altimas

Got new clear turn signals and parking lamps for the JK off the newer model. Install will have to wait as I need to sandblast the metal protectors at work tommorow. ...wife really likes the way they look.

Firebird had been neglected for awhile, so I spent a few hours on it today:
-Washed and waxed (including door jams and wheels)
-Stone chip touch up
-Replaced clips for air box
-Replaced bracket for driver's side mirror with non-broken one from scrapyard
-Replaced missing retainer clip on underside of rear bumper
-Greased the zerk fittings on the rear control arms (aftermarket)
-Resprayed the painted rubber side molding as the sun fried the old paint almost completely off.
