Driving the last few days has been really nice. Car is smooth and comfortable and the ride is really firm now.
I've had this car since August '02. Bought it right off the lot and it's been with me ever since so maybe the car is connected to me in a way. I just feel like the car is happier now that i got everything done to it.
Anyone else experience this after really cleaning their car and getting serviced
Just curious.

Remember Chemistry class kids? Earth's Atmosphere (ie REGULAR F%&$*# AIR) is close to %60 Nitrrogen for FREE its dumb and serves absolutely no purpose.
Rant_end...
PS- Yes I know what you mean, spend 5 hours cleaning and installing and the car feels awesome

Nitrogen does make up over 70% of regular air, but there is still 20% oxygen there. The advantage of nitrogen fills (i mean REAL 100% nitrogen) is that nitrogen does not expand or contract as much as regular air under temperature changes. this allows you to use the same tire pressure for winter as summer and reduces the need for tire warm up before setting a pressure because it is not going to change that much. this is the precise reason that airplane tires are filled with 100% nitrogen. otherwise when the air at 30,000 feet is 20 below, the tires would shrivel up from gas contraction and compromise the safety of the tire.
