Topic: What did you do to your car today?

Just make sure the angle on the bottom of the lug matches...they aren't all the same.

Yup, 60 degrees - perfect.
Got them all mounted today. Now, hopefully we won't get any appreciable snowfall here for another month...or two (fingers crossed)

Those G35 and G37 coupes still look and sound good.

I agree.

Would love to have one and do a full bolt on mod to it.

The weather warmed up today and so I did an oil change on the Corolla.  I wish Toyota had used a spin-on filter and/or placed it somewhere easier to reach.  Luckily I can slide my lean self under the car far enough to reach it.

All oil filters should be  cartridge type accessible from the top of the engine

That's how every VW has been for the last decade.... Until my model.

Stored the miata's today. I need a bigger garage.

Had to replace the battery in the TSX. Now radio is asking for a code. The code card has gone missing a some point in its life. The US code finder doesn't work so I guess I'll need to pay a dealer so cash to unlock. Ugh.

Someone stole a lug nut off one of the Civic's wheels. I had some spares from the '97 sedan we parted a few years. Fracking people.

I'm going to finish off putting the new oil lines (from the block to the external oil filter) back in the F150 today.  If I didn't have a hoist I would have farmed this job out to my local auto repair shop.
I'm getting too old to work on vehicles while lying on a cold, concrete floor.

The VW tdi just passed the 200k km mark!!

Barely broken in!

Must have horseshoes up my ass, never had any of those problems.

Years ago I had someone stole two lug nuts for each wheel on the Jeep Cherokee we had. I replaced them and they stole two more. Then one more for each wheel. So in the end they stole a whole set but thankfully not all at once. Still a bit of a safety concern for thieving a cheap item. I'd forgotten about that until the lug nut went missing on the Civic.

That's a very odd item to steal I must say, never had that one before. I have two big International highway tractors I bought for resale, some jackasses cut the fence to my shop yard and stole ALL the batteries from those rigs. 8 in total at $130 ea plus a $20 core since I don't have any to give them now.

The radio code might also be located on a sticker inside the glove box or hidden in another little cubby in the car. Iirc in my civic it id also located behind a small removable panel in the engine compartment.

Yeah I looked all the standard spots. Some even suggested the spare tire wheel well. Not there 

I can get the serial number of the radio from the radio by pressing the on button as well as 1 and 6 buttons. So that with VIN should get me the code. Just need to apply cash at the dealer. We don't have an Acura one in town hopefully Honda can do it for me.

I e-mailed the local Honda dealer for a radio code for my CR-V and it was provided for free.  Hopefully your dealer can do the same.

[Fobroader]

[Firm]

Yeah, good looking Jeep. Winter does suck though.....I washed the Slade on Saturday because it was like 6-7C out. Still froze my butt off.
