Didn't do much but checked wheel alignment and changed the oil along with a good body wash

Finally dropped it off to have the blind spot warning sensors replaced (parts have been in for months).

Got a loner for the first time ever...2014 C300 AWD. I think it's loaded, nice enough I guess but don't buy one. Wait for the 2015 or get an A4...or a 3 Series.

They have a new SLS GT in matt black in the showroom...has a big rear wing which actually looked appropriate. Awesome car. Plenty of other AMG goodies too for a change.

And this old timer...

Put it in the garage with the kayak strapped on for the first time and it fits in just nicely. I have the day off tomorrow, but not sure if it's going to rain and too lazy to take it off after today's run... :P

Greased the front end of the Firebird, washed the Sonoma and did a bunch of work on the Spitfire.

Lovingly washed the Miata.  Was not very dirty, but had slayed quite a few bugs.

Tried the Scanguage's "Performance Monitor" today.  Clocked a glacial-like 11.2 second 0-60 mph time.

yesterday, washed both cars...

and finally got all the paint touch up sanding marks polished out.   ;D  now the hood is GLEAMING..




then this morning some jackass sprayed windshield fluid while at speed, so my front end is all spotted up... :-[

Driving thrills makes my wallet lighter.. and therefore makes me faster because i'm shedding weight... :D
