Chip turns a year old! New tires and a nice wax.
Well my car.. Chip! As I have named him turned a year old in September. We had some pretty bad weather so I was not able to wash and wax him like I wanted to.
28.7 miles on the odo after a year and still running strong. No major issues that I can think of, and the one thing I am MOST proud about is that there are no dings anywhere to be found! I am sure I just jinxed myself. Here are my pictures, nothing professional but I think they highlight the shine! Still as nice as the day I bought the car. Enjoy!
1. New tires. 225 fronts, 255 rear Michelin Pilots.
2.If you have dead love bugs on your car you can't get off buy this stuff! Its works!!
3.Mirror Finish!! :P
4.Another one..
5. And a side view.
6. And one front view.
I know I know.. no major mods other than the intake. :P

Still looks very clean!
What I need to do is sell my beater because its been almost 11 months since I bought my car and I have around 4300 miles.
How much were those tires?

So you have 28.7k miles (wow, that's alot for only one year, lol) & you're replacing both front & rear tires at the same time? I thought since this is a RWD car, the rears would need to be replaced at twice the rate of the fronts? At least that's how it went w/my last 2 RWD cars (S2000 & e46 M3).

No thats not a new windshield.
The day I went to replace it another rock nailed me so I said forget it! So still ghetto on that note.
Yes 28.k miles is alot, but I have a very long commute to work. I should do a close up of my front bumper ya'll would cry.
And I paid right at a 1k for those tires, TireRack was about $300 cheaper than any store downtown. Yes, the front Bridgestones do have twice the ware as the rear tires, however I wanted the Michelin Pilot A/S so in the future I will just have to replace the rears since I got new fronts. Hope that makes sense?
