Just hit 90K

The trouble is just starting it seems.

Pulling to the left and feathering my tires even after alignment
New battery was needed
one spark plug was leaking compression and half-melted my plug coil
now I'm getting the P2647 code

speaking of problems/issues...i think my valve lash is off or something. The motor at idle kinda ticks like something is out of alignment. Not specifically sure but does anyone have the specs and walk thru of how to fix and what to set valve lash at? I wanna make sure i nip this in the bud instead of waiting till its a real problem.

Here you go. Did this about 2 months ago. Not difficult at all.
Valve Clearance Adjustment (L12A/L13A)

There one on this the Fitfreak Forum but I was to lazy to look. I knew where this one was:
DIY adjusting valve clearences GD - Honda Fit Forums

Edit: Here's the FitFreak link, a more direct approach to the DIY https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/621889-post8.html

Finished the exterior! I love it and couldn't have been happier of how it turned out. My wife did an awesome job painting it. Now I just have the stereo and upholstery left and the car will be ready for the show here in az.

I had a flat on my right rear tire... I had been driving on a road over rolling terrain with fairly gentle curves at about 70MPH and had taken my foot off of the throttle when going down a hill in 5TH gear when I heard what sounded like something rubbing on the right rear fender and found the tire was flat.. The tire was still on the bead but the sidewall was badly damaged by the outer edge of the rim... I drove the last 1 1/2 mile with the right side of the car off of the road and in the grass without harming the wheel rim...

Thanx for the comments guys. No centerfold is coming, but hopefully a shot in oh snaps would be great. Car is not fast enough for centerfold. Wait for the video shoot though that will blow you away.

Alot of love must be given to my photographer. He really does an amazing job with that camera of his. If you like the shots he took give him some + rep on one of those shoot threads he made for me. Or better yet hit him up to shoot yours

Why are you typing with K's instead of c's and using numbers? From what I remember, you're a middle aged to elderly (idk which) man, are you trying to fit in or something? It just takes what little credibility you have and kills it.

/Rant.

As for today:

I drove it a 100 miles or so.
