Car looks great... but why is your lawn surrendering?

Default Re: lawn surrendering?

Neighbors invisible doggie fence. Lot line is pretty close or he encroached a few feet!

I prefer a country house where there is no lawn to speak of or neighbor dog for that matter.

Default Re: the grill change

It's a knock-off from a Bentley. Glad you like it. I'm torn between chrome or powder coating the mesh semi-gloss black.

Default IMNSHO, the look you have right now is best....

...I think the chrome would be a little too 'gangsta'.

I also the gloss black (as opposed to a matte black) would look pretty good, too.

Default Car is doing well?

Transmission was replaced at 35k. My car was a loaner and I guess somebody goosed it too much in the first 10k before I bought it. A few minor things, a driver's window regulator, the kessy door lock controller and a radio/nav unit - all covered by warranty. The clock runs 3 minutes fast per week. A time machine! :-)
