Hesistantly gave it a wash at home, most of the neighbours weren't there so no one complained; technically washing your car is potentially illegal depending on local ordonnance.

Love the red paint and the full LED headlamps and sequential front LED indicators.

Put new pads and rotors on the rear of the Jeep. Stoptech rotors and Wagner OEX pads. Whole thing was under $300 from rockauto shipped.

Went to town with electrical tape and heatshrink in the Alfa. It is true: Italian electrics are god awful. So many exposed wires and connections. How these cars' electrics ever made it through a rainy day, let alone a winter is beyond me. Whole thing started with trying to source a possible bad ground on my oil pressure sender...and now many wires are nicely covered, but still no fixed sender. Hmmmm

If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Put the heaviest load on the MDX ever. The rear was noticeably lower than the front.

^^ Those look like the same pavers I bought to make a little runoff area for the downspout from the house. About 5 lbs each, IIRC?

I only bought around 20, so hardly noticed the weight in the back of the GTI. Looks like around 200 in your MDX, so around 1,000 lbs total?

I sold my old walkway pavers on kijiji.  There were ~80sq ft and the guy who bought them picked them up with his Equinox.  Took him five trips.  He picked up the last load last night.  I had more stupid replies for those pavers than just about any other thing I've put on kijiji.  Was really glad to remove that ad.  :P

I have a friend that got hit by a canoe while cycling across Canada. Car passed him, canoe came off, slid into him and took him down. Still a great story.
That's nuts. I mean, what are the odds?

New studs were easy?  That's nice for a change.
