I guess it's a bit late now, but I bought a handful of 2x10s and screwed them together, with 45 degree cuts with the circular saw to provide a bit of an easier climb to the next level. The topmost platform has a 2x3 at the end as a 'stopper', and each portion of the ramp has a roughly 18" flat section before the start of the 45 up to the next section. Heavy, but I'm confident in their holding ability for a while.

Mind if I ask what ramps you ordered? I have a pair of the plastic ones, but I get kind of antsy about them over time as who knows what plastic will do when it lives in a garage with a wide array of temperature swings.

Try my best to capture a good picture that didn't blow out one of the lights or make it look like everything isn't the same color. Clearly I did not succeed, but you get the overall picture...

The door strip is a solid color all the way through, the door grab handle isn't that bright in person, and the door pocket is actually illuminated pretty well, haha.

Waze is the way or did they outlaw it in CA?

Didn't show up on Waze til we were within sight of him. I've seen them park on that median so many times, I just slow down automatically as I approach the curve in the road. And this time it was an all white car and not the usual panda, so it was harder to see against the concrete.

And reviewing the footage, he didn't brake til about 4 car lengths before where he is in the screenshot. :ROFLMAO: Basically right on top of the CHP cruiser.

Pulled the trigger on an ARM motorsports billet oil pan. Since they are on sale right now. I'm going to run out of fun things to buy soon. Posted the link for anyone looking for a sweet upgrade.

I looked at that one myself but ultimately bought the Wortec- for numerous reasons.

Uses factory O ring (instead of gasket maker/sealant)
pre-tapped for oil temp sensor
ported and plugged for oil cooler if I want to add it later
increased oil capacity (by 1 liter)
magnetic drain plug
has a baffle/wall around the oil pickup

-expensive yes, but I feel the price is justified. USP has them in stock.

Well at least yours will just dent and not break when hit. ?

Everyone said don't do it for additional cooling, but I can't help it. Have to try it myself
