Haven't done it yet, but today I will drive it to my wedding.

drove it to work, and then let her see her new GF (the 04 dodge stratus R/t)

I filled up my 1gn for the very first time! 21 bucks or 10.5 gallons of 87 octane. YAY

drove it 8 miles

put my carbon fiber hood on cause it seems like the damn thing is never going to sell,and to my surprise i really like the way it looks,oh and did my twice weekly cleaning of my interior

Actually i did this yesterday:
1. took the dealer emblem off the trunklid (after owning the car for almost a year)
2. took her through the automatic car wash after getting all the adhesive off from the dealer emblem
3. had to re-wash it with a bucket of soapy water and a sponge when i got home b/c the stupid automatic car wash in my town sucks
4. put 1/3 quart of oil in
5. dug out a huge mouse nest located under the battery, on top of the transaxle (lil bastards)

drove it to the dealer to pick yp some parts and stopped to get lunch

I washed her right before it started raining again.

Drove to work this morning, gave it a bath at a nearby car wash on lunch, and will be driving home in a bit.

Drove her to school, drove her to dodge dealership, drove her to autozone, to lunch, to school again, the us cellular place, and will be driving home again.

Drove it around this morning with a new-found joy after the major improvements from the front-end suspension work/wheel bearing replacement job last week.

Later this week it goes into the shop again for major cooling system overhaul: new rad, new coolant pipes, new heater hoses, new thermostat housing and thermostat.

Also getting the A/C fixed at the same time.

^ very nice.

Mine has been sitting in the garage for the past few days, safe from the rain. My 1gn I drove to work.

Mine has too. Unrelated but I did order a vinyl cutter machine yesterday. Im gettin into the bizz lol. Shoulda made the title whatd you do to what your driving today. I drove my 4wd to school and back home. Its been my DD since it started to rain like crazy.

Edit: Painted my grille mesh black so I can install it soon. Gonna call about new A/C parts tmrw.

I drove mine to a body shop to get the damage on the RR quarter panel fixed. Hopefully will pick it up Friday afternoon

I apologized to her for allowing her eyes to be gouged out last night.

Today i put in my modern projectors, took out my washer fluid resevoir, fixed my exhaust leak, gave her a good waxing, cleaned the stain on my drivers seat, cleaned the engine bay, took her to work, then to school, then back home.

It is in the shop until tomorrow while getting the cooling system refurbished and the A/C working again.

Those items above are the last major items on my "Neon TO DO" list as below:

-1 spark plug tube consistently & slowly rising
-install new spark plugs
-replace rear wheel bearings (no noise, doing this proactively given the mileage))
-install new headlamps when they arrive from Modern
-exhaust rattle while in reverse
-clean driver's side carpet... ugh winter stains
-touchup spots on paint
-wash 'n wax

EDIT: The buzzer sounded off for the door just as I hit "submit" for this post... it was Canada Post with my new headlamps from Modern! Wheee! I love getting packages delivered right to the door.

Drove 1 block to get bread..

you drove a block? why not just walk? or was it raining or something?

drove to the courthouse and beat my exhaust ticket WOOOOOOHHH

Painted this little guy Chrysler Industrial Red (best engine color EVAR!)



My engine bay, Im thinking of paintin the engine coolant one red also and maybe the oil cap. Hell I might do my valve cover too later. I need a injector cover.





Also drove it to school and back (all 2 miles woot) checked the oil and parked it in the shop for the tear down tomorrow. Ill get pics.

Since I didn't get to drive the bitch today, I stared at her in the yard for a good couple of minutes to make her feel pretty.

washed the dirty biotch so shes presentable for passt house lol

I got it back from the shop today where I had...

Radiator, thermostat, thermostat housing, upper & lower rad hoses, heater pipes, heater hose, transmission cooler lines and of course coolant all replaced.

The old radiator looks a little tired after 8 years on the go but it was not leaking... yet.

I also had the A/C fixed. Cool air inside the Neon... finally after 2 years.

A bonus... the mechanic had the intake off to get the coolant pipes replaced and did this mod for me while everything was apart:

When I first opened the hood I was thinking WTF... something is missing here... until closer inspection.

If the weather holds I will be installing my new headlamps from Modern over the weekend. Purchased GE NightHawk bulbs for them today.

I should start a progress log... but it will be mostly boring stuff like regular maintenance and this type of stuff above.

drove back from passt after doing a dope burn out to warm the tires up for a 4 hour drive home at 1230am=D!

Painting my exterior b and c pillars black

Drove 50 miles round trip to/from work. Drove about 20 miles up and down the mountain because it was nice today.

Remembered I need to start thinking about replacing my timing belt and water pump. Contemplated repainting my valve cover (did a test paint to see how it would turn out, turns out it was way too bright of a blue)

gave it a bath.it needed one from driving it to college back and forth to home everyday it gets dirty.

This was yesterday but,


I changed the oil and pulled out the plugs in the lower ball joints and replaced them with zerks. I also drained my catch can. What a PITMFA that was.
