Topic: What did you do to your car today?

[2JDM]

Looks great VMan. I love the blue exterior - does it have a brown or beige interior? 

[PJungnitsch]

Nice weather, so hauled some lumber home for projects

[Scaerio]

Awesome car Vman!  You must be pumped to finally have it home!

Never had a hatchback or wagon with front seat folding forward as Matrix/Vibe or rear seat ingeniously of the Fit or Element, fully exploiting all available interior space. Most manufacturer are lazy on this practicality aspect.

That really is a great idea.

Oh Boy, looks great.  Congrats.

Do you always do black cars?

It’s canvasite blue metallic

When you posted the pic the dealer sent I kept staring at it trying to figure out if it was black or blue, LOVE that colour when you see it in the sun!

looks like an expensive load...even 2x4 studs are now $7 each

I took the Sonata to the touchless wash near my place and it did a good job removing a few months worth of dirt.

No salt where I am, so I cautiously started putting things on the road. Up first:

Changed the oil, put on the 3 season tires and washed the Acura today.  Might be pushing the tire swap being in Edmonton, but sometimes I'm badass.

What did you use for the 4th tire

I also checked my spare tire inflation and it was down to 52 PSI.   This is a reminder to check yours.

My car monitors mine, otherwise yeah I would forget to check it. Good tip!
I washed and detailed the Jag and the GF's Echo. Two cars at the opposite end of the spectrum in the same driveway

Of all the cars I've owned since the kid arrived, the Echo was the only car he cried about (real tears) when I sold it.

Go figure.

16-year old me bawled hard when my dad sold the original '90 Camry.

Gorgeous weather, and I had a productive day cleaning up all the winter crap in the yard and repairing a broken fence post...so I figured I'd sneak the Jag out for a run. Unplugged the battery maintainer, pulled off the cover and she's ready for another season Gawd I missed this car.

[TheHire]

Man, that is hard on the eyes... 

I think her spiritual sister will be out tomorrow... I'll roll by.

[rrocket]

I prepped the IS300 yesterday. Cranked right up and drove beautifully.

IQ took it to work today.

You're welcome too.....but I'll be out at the grandma's place working on the Vette  ...would like to wrap up the last couple mechanical/electrical things.

[BWII]

Damn that Jag looks soooo good....

I checked my winter tire Sonic km for the season - I keep a spread sheet of when the swaps are done to keep track of such nonsense...and hold on to your hats: 722 KM.  From early Nov last year 'til last Friday.  722 km driven. LMAO.  Should've put it on layup too. I put almost half that much on yesterday going to the city and back.  If Cdn Tire would've had time, I would've come home with new A/S tires.

Oh...I did find this on Kijiji though... 17" Sonic wheels


I'm vain...I would LOVE to have those for my little shitbox. So much nicer to look at.  (Son: But that would ride like crap. That would be awful. Stick with the 15's! - I swear, he's not my kid.  )
I mean...doesn't this look so much nicer?


Than this?


Then again for $475...meh...and then tires too...$1000 better spent elsewhere.  Like...

I did notice some incessant and annoying clattering coming from the front yesterday, the city seems to provide the right conditions for hearing those things.  Not too fast, and plenty of little bumps and pot holes to make things make noise.  Which has me wondering if the other stabilizer link is broken or is breaking. If it is, guess I'll see what happens if I remove it like the other side.  Hasn't been connected in a couple of years, couldn't tell the difference... Almost like that bar isn't even needed...
