Washed off the car in the garage using some Mequiars Quick Detailer. Vacuumed the car out. Washed the windshield. Even touched up the scrape marks on the front air dam with some semi-gloss black paint. Why you ask, because we were going over to the Sno-Cap Drive In for a Miata Club gathering. About 15 minutes after we got there the rain started and didn’t quit until about an hour after we got back home.
Money spent today was for a hydraulic jack at Wal-Mart. A 2-ton unit with two jack stands, 2 wheel chocks and a shiny chrome cross lug wrench. According to the instructions on Miata.net I’ll need to put a groove in a length of 2 x 4 so I can lift one whole side of the car at a time. Downside to this is I may have to drive up on some 2 x 6 to get the required clearance to put the jack under. It is a step in the right direction, maybe after 5 or 6 years I’ll be ready to step up to the $200 aluminum race jack.
