Installed the Alpine Type S speakers in the rear's to match the front's, and re-tuned the amplifier to suit my tastes

I removed the aluminum & 'carbon fiber' (plastic) shift knob installed last year (a $15 knock off of a Momo) and replaced it with a spiffy tall boy derlin cylinder shaped one from Manny, Moe and Jack ($30). Way more comfortable -but the real reason I changed shifter knobs again- even with loctite on the set screws-the metal SOB would vibrate and make noise.

A pallet of topsoil=60 bags...40lbs each.....maxed out the "rated" towing capacity.....It was slow going, and it made me want to upgrade my brakes!

What did I do:
I applied my sticker from Tuned200. Very nice.
My 4 month old son and I are trying to design a light bar. Hopefully he has some ideas.

Carefull, you may wind up owning the first Forester Transformer.
Yesterday: Drove up to and back from Redbank NJ for a Niece's First Communion. Killed a lot of insects on the way. My windshield is a mess.
Today: Hope to get in a wash and wax. Wish me luck, there are scattered showers predicted.
Done. Mats cleaned, interior dusted & vacuumed, exterior washed & waxed.
Of course it will rain tonight, but I don't give a ....

yesterday: picked up 4 used 255/40/18 azeni's for $100. Sold 3 255/35/18 star specs for 210(minus 108 to ship). Net =$2 and 1 tire. Enough tread to get me through this year, and the extra sidewall should be nice
today: 320 grit sanding on bumper

After finally getting around to installing forester specific pinks and new struts, last night I installed kartboy sub-frame lock out bolts. Tomorrow the new 235/50 17 Bridgestone re 960 PP tires will go on and alignment will get done. Now that it's capable, nothing is holding me back from stage 3!
First serious detail
It's been a full 10 days now since I drove my Subie off the lot. Time to make it look nice.
Wash. Everything.
Wax. Everything painted on the exterior.
Aerospace 303. Everything plastic, especially everything on the exterior.
Clean. Every glass got a liberal does of Invisiible Glass.
Dream. Hoping to find a few spare $$ to buy the Subtle 1" risers.
