Fixed. Google Photos really need to get their :censor: together from an image hosting standpoint. My phone is linked to my google photos account, when I take a photo, it automatically backs up to the google photos site. So in theory, if I could reliably host images there for sharing on stuff like this forum, I wouldn't need to use any other 3rd party image hosting site......Instead I have to manually upload stuff to Imgur to host, which is a royal PITA.

Well, I fixed it by hosting on imgur again. Thing is, you, Shane & John were able to see the google hosted photos last night, while others were not. I suspect it might have to do with whether or not you're signed in with google when you're viewing. If you, and the others that could see them were/are signed into your respective google accounts, but BW and CarCrazed are not, that would explain it......Doesn't make it any better on Google's part though.

I'm always signed into my Google account.  It's weird.
I just download the photos to my laptop and upload them, hosting is not very reliable for me.

I love how the radio is in portrait mode as if it was an afterthought lol

I could see them late last night, and I don't use google.

Curious, the speedo and tach are not sitting at zero.  Is that as designed?

Also replaced the wiper blades on my 3er with the original Valeo-supplied ones. Guess they must have just switched the branding or something, as now it comes in a set (driver + co-driver) based on vehicle model. New model comes out of FR.

Yesterday I added about 12 liters of Diesel Exhaust Flued (DEF, urea, Adblue, etc).

Total cost was $30 for 14k of driving.  People always wonder about the cost.  Turns out its negligible.

Not sure, but some older cars do that....I recall my parents 85 Jeep Wagoneer had the same habit and it always made me curious as a kid.

Agreed. Beautiful switches and instruments. IMO, the related 308 GTS/GTB are among the most beautiful cars.

I replaced the clouded over/yellowed headlights in my newly acquired 1997 F150.

I checked prices locally and did web search.  The best price was from Rock Auto, so that's where I ordered them from.

I went online and looked at a couple of Youtube videos on how to swap out the headlights and it looked fairly straightforward.  Unfortunately, it was an entirely different story when I tried it myself.
Getting the headlights out wasn't too much of a chore, but putting them in was seriously frustrating.  After two futile 20 minute sessions I ended up pulling off the front grill to properly position the headlights.  Of course with a 20 year old vehicle a number of the clips that hold the grill in place broke or bounced off into the engine compartment, never to be found again.
I wasn't too surprised when an hour job turned into a couple of days work.  :P
