Been a little while I'm definitely keeping my car put my mud flaps back on for winter mode. Looking to get new winter tires, stage 1 clutch, and other supporting winter mods depending on how well I do plowing this year. Going to be promoted to full time around March if I'm not already gone away to SOI / school of infantry and from there Scout Sniper course.

Moral of the story me and Emily are never breaking up! ?

Most recent mods I did were swap my summer floor mats for rubber winter ones and replace all interior and reverse lights with LEDs gives the car a classy look inside and out, Thanks Black Friday!

So Jersey got a taste of winter yesterday it took it's toll on many, but Emily had kept me safe driving home through the storm. I only have 4 weeks left with my baby before I go off to SOI / infantry training battalion for two months but hopefully before that I'll have swapped trunks for the STI and have my friends Cobb SF intake on my car and when I get back from training I'll treat myself to coil overs ?

NLmotoring was the only website with most of the wheels and sizes in stock if not try amazon and my rear fenders are rolled but I plan to switch to coils in the spring and will most likely have to roll and pull the front too
