Ontario went to white on blue and immediately switched back due to difficulty reading them at night.

Just had our 1yr service at just a tick under 9k miles...Thankfully we have had no real issues to date... 
Still absolutely loving the car and every drive still feels like a special event!
Celebrated the day by stopping in here for lunch...

Well this is an easy choice.
How did you jack the car up to get it on the blocks? I have a 4-post lift and would like to do similar for wheel cleaning and tire change.
Ok that is what i figured. I used to have 2 of those but sold my old lift. Wish i had kept it.I’ve got a bridge jack on my lift. Raise the back and set it on that piece of 2x3 steel tubing. Then move the bridge jack up to the front…

Whoah, great photo!
Sorry I thought this was the vivid red photo thread. Going to delete and repost there.
Love your spec by the way.

Had windshield protection film installed, and have mixed feelings about the decision.
First off the install has quite a few dust specks trapped under the film, and there a couple of places where the edge is not tight to the glass. There's a bit of distortion in places, but not too distracting overall. Having never had film before, I don't know if this is nature of the beast or just a less than optimal install. The bright side is that someday when it's been beat up it can hopefully be pulled up to reveal a damage free window.
On the sad trombone side of things, my car got scratched while at the installer....
They've offered to repair it, but I live quite a distance from the shop and don't want to sink the time and freeway miles into that.
I believe I can correct it, but haven't had time to give it a shot yet.

In the meantime it's Spring, so that means a quick trip to Tennessee to kick off the driving season...
We did a lot of the usual roads while there, Dragon, 28, Blue Ridge, Cherohala Skyway, but also did a quick run down to north Georgia for a quick run over Blood Mountain, Wolfpen Gap, etc. It was early in the season and roads were still a bit dirty in places, but still a great time. Car ran flawlessly fully loaded with luggage or empty...shouldn't surprise me anymore, but still tickled that it tours so well!
The odo ticked over 11,000 miles somewhere during the journey.
*Only minor annoyance is that I did not take time to try out the Hawk brake pads I've been sitting on. I still don't like the abrupt initial bite of the stock pads...a minor flaw in an otherwise perfect driving car.
Saw another Emira at Tapoco Lodge, but did not cross paths with the owner...
