The milestone happened on my drive to work. Then it rained and then it thunderstormed and then something unexpected happened. I made a video of the happening :)

It was a great 3 day getaway for Becky and I. We stayed as guests at Harrahs' Cherokee. We drove the FFR, gambled a little, and ate like royalty. It was awesome.
A little video to show the roadster in action on our climb out of Cherokee on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

I also had to move my mass air meter so I went all out and fabbed up a cold air intake in the fenderwell. I am getting my air from the brake vent and from in front of the front wheel down low. I added a 90mm lightning mass air meter during the upgrade as well.

My explorer intake was looking a little rough so I bought some Summit brand single stage urethane paint and set out to make my top end shiny. The color is a dark metallic silver. It shows off well in the sunshine.
