Now that is some funny stuff , I hearby promote you to Space Captain , you are a Cadet no longer!

Seriously, we are all blown away you documented everything done to the Kona Kutie, but have to ask what prompted you to think of doing this clear back on day one?
 
And yeah, you should see the two four-inch binders all the paperwork goes into. And this not include the well over 4000 jpeg photos and thousands of PDF files for documents, invoices, installations, manuals, TSBs etc, etc... I'm sorta like a pack rat with this car.
 
She's a keeper but no garage queen. She's signed up for six track days and one autoX this year and I may even take here out to run the quarter mile at Ford Fun days at Bandimere in early June.
 
Oh, I definitely know she is no garage queen , but just meant you may have her long into your Senior years , since with all those accessories she is definitely your mistress!? I hope we can meet up at one of your track days in Colorado , and if not , I do look forward to hanging out with you at the Mustang Roundup, my friend.
 
When I had to change out both garage door openers, for the life of me I could not get the Gentex rearview mirror with homelink to work with the new door openers. I saw that some were putting in a Ford OEM Sunvisor Left w/Homelink (DR3Z-6304105-DB) and decided to give it a shot. Had a heck of a tyme getting the old one disconnected but prevailed and it works great now. Left the Gentex mirror in for the auto-dimming feature.

My new Liftmaster Belt drive opener is a thousand tymes quieter then my old chain driven one.I use the opener remote devices they gave me....old school/old dog is hard to change..............I'm sure if I had a smart phone with the right app it could open the door and park the Boss for me .................................
 
My new openers are a quiet belt driven Chamberlain and with a mobile app, I can use the phone to open and close the doors remotely. I can now not only open and close the garage doors but I can turn lights on and off in the house, watch all my Ring cameras live, talk to someone at my front door, have Alexa play music or dog sounds or party sounds while I'm traveling and adjust the furnace or humidifier - all from the phone.

Tyme for you to get in the Jetson age Bob and buy a new phone!
 
Dear Bob,

You are fine , as I can't do any of those things with my phone either, but with the money I saved, like you, I probably have enough money left over to buy a second set of tires. I have my priorities and since the garage door ain't broke, I ain't fixing it!
 
Don't be Flintstonian, Bob. Bill probably still slides his stone garage door! Get a new phone. Picture of Bill below was pre-follically challenged.

Now I know these may seem a bit cheesy but for show, I hated the look of the rear calipers and came across a set of these billet aluminum rear caliper covers from MGP (10010RBSSMB). They are suppose to reduce brake dust and caliper temperatures.

New quieter garage door?
Updating a perfectly good phone only one Generation old?
Living in the Stone Age so I could just acquire a new set of 18x11 Apex Rims!!
Oh well, in that case you can just call me Fred, no problem and no offense.
