Synergy

I'm zooming down I94 in the Boxster (freshly liberated from storage at the Barn), thinking about integrating GPS into an 11 year old car. I have a very nice Garmin Nuvi on a pedestal mount that I use in the van and the Boxster. Unfortunately the pedestal mount tends to land in the passenger seat on tight turns at speed.

Somewhere north of St. Cloud, it hit me. The Escort SmartMirror is the solution. All I need is power to make the SmartMirror to work, and there is power 2 inches from the mirror mount. The research for my previous post After Market Goodies gave me the answer.

Myrtle Beach Garage

Maple Grove Cave

Another preparatory step is getting the garage ready for the build. The idea of being on the back under a car on a concrete floor in the midst of a Minnesota Winter just doesn't do it for me. I plan to install a non-skid Swisstrax floor. I already know that it works. I have installed this floor in Myrtle Beach garage and the Maple Grove cave. I have had the Corvette on jack stands multiple times. There is no skids, slips. Each tile is rated to 6000 lbs. Neither floor took more than 4 hours to put down.

If you go with a Swisstrax floor, list Traci as your sales agent. She has done super job on my orders!
