Topic: What did you do to your car today?

[bridgecity]

Hard to believe!

You drive like a grandma?

Don’t thinks so, and I have an RV, boat, and dirt bikes that I drag around.

Had the winters mounted on the Lexus yesterday, and good timing.  Drove ~300km today in torrential rain and the Xi3s tracked like a champ.  Nice and quiet too.  I'm really impressed with the performance and ride quality of these things.   . The Pirelli P7+ summers are a great touring tire but they can't hold a candle to the Xi3s in wet conditions.

I mounted the winters on the wife's Q50S last weekend as the temps overnight were starting to fall and she leaves for work at 6:30am.  But of course, since then it's been warm weather.

Normally I mount my own, and usually at the last minute before snow, but we were do for an oil change anyway so i had them do the changeover at the at the same time as it's only $6 a wheel.

What did they charge for an oil change ?
Lexus down here charges $100, over at Toyota it is $71 for an oil change, the RX and Highland share the same engine

^^build quality like that is why I want a Tundra as my next tow vehicle.

Gave the 951 a bath just now, nice afternoon to take it out for a rip while I run a few errands.

What a beauty.

[johngenx]

Yeah, freezing rain turning to snow today. Miata will sleep until spring. The upside is ski season is close.

[Gurgie]

Thanks guys! It loves the cold dense air, that's for sure! Great day for just booting around in it.

Not today, but a couple weeks ago I put away both the 560 SEL and the S2000 for the winter. It'll be a long five months... both cars now in the garage, hooked up to trickle chargers and have the tanks topped.

Worked on the MGB (got it running!) and took the T/A out for a good run, then changed the oil in it.

[ChaosphereIX]

going to buy some second hand Michelix Xi3s for the Saab, one season old and look brand new from the pics - $350, not bad for basically new 16" winters that would be over 600 bucks new

[tortoise]

Nice score!

Put on the winter tires and did an oil change. Switched to a better drain plug as well with the oil change.

Was gonna lubricate the sunroof and doors, but ran out of time.

Also need to fix one of my winter tires as it's very slowly leaking.

The best part about the Xi3 is how well they still perform after a couple of winters.  I can't recall if I have the Xi2 or 3 on the Subaru, but they were still excellent with 30,000km of city mileage on them at the end of last winter.

Why bother do an oil change on an RX8?  Doesn't the oil change itself as you burn it off ?
