My bad.  I misread your 'hasn't' as 'has'.

I did an oil change on the Mazda 2 plus replaced the driver's side wiper blade. This car is so easy to maintain. You don't even need to jack up the car to do it. $38 including tax for a full synthetic oil and wiper replacement.  8)

Switched the Rondo to All-seasons. Focus I'll do sometime next week.

They checked the alignment at all four corners but only had to adjust the rear. I guess my dealer does a free alignment check with every service.

Just installed my Findway 3D custom to car floor mats. Really good fit. They're rubber on one side and really short felt on top side that washes off easily.

 :rofl2: . Costco charges $6/ wheel for changeover when they're mounted on their own rims... so I think I'll do that for this since it's not worth the fuss to get the wheel off.

Went at the paint on the Trans Am, rubbing compound with a high speed buffer, followed by some Zymol wax. Took most of the day, but the results were worth it. Tomorrow I am planning to attack the interior, which is still full of previous owner filth.

Took the 135i for one last blast through the countryside before it'll go to a dealership as a trade-in. The car was pure joy to drive  :)
