Lucky Day -- 77,777 miles
It was a lucky day for the Zed this afternoon. After some careful planning and timing, I had my camera with me to take a picture of the exact moment. 77,777 & 777.7 miles GP20 even rode along with me for the remaining 40 miles today. I guess this only happens once in a car's lifetime, so I thought this was worth documenting. Here's looking forward to 88,888 & 888.8
And a few exterior shots after hitting the mark. It's been a while since I've posted pics, but since then I put in custom Angel Eyes and Blackout Grills. GP20 turned me to the dark side with that one
A few more from the Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery in Woodinville.

The car certainly doesn't look like it's got almost 80k miles.
And you forgot to introduce your new mod

Hehe, cool
So did you make the angel eye headlights yourself, like CJ, or can you buy them pre-made in the US from somewhere?

Re: Lucky Day -- 77,777 miles
Thanks! And as a matter of fact, it WAS 77-78 degrees the day before, and I really wish I would have taken a pic then. I just didn't have time to drive around the extra 50 miles, and was also hoping this day would be the same temperature. Oh well.EdButler wrote:Shame it wasn't 11 degrees F warmer!

I retrofitted the angel eye's myself. following CJs how-to. The CCFL rings were purchaed from ebay, and then (with a deep breath) cut open my headlights and went to work. It's one of those projects where you really want to take your time, and luckily I still had my original amber-lens headlights which I used as temps while doing the AE work. I wired them up to stay on constant with ignition, and to the domelight as well so they fade in/out with the remote door unlock function (fun to play with ).Mr Whippy wrote:Hehe, cool

No 55,555 . I didn't start thinking about this mileage-tomfoolery business until some time after that.gannet wrote:Attention to detail
