Not bad at all.  Now like you said earlier just have to unload the Vibe and find yourself a suitable electric vehicle.

Good stuff! And really after all those years it didn't owe you a thing

Finally took the NB out for a spin around the neighbourhood this afternoon.  On Saturday I insured it and drop the top and just as I was going to take it out, it started to rain. 

I think I might put the new top on ours before I take it out.   Can't go anywhere so why put it on the road?

Are you going to put the correct colour roof back on that car ?  The blue is so unique.

 I 've done 2 of those roofs.  For me it was easier with the  top frame removed from the car.

Lots of vids of it.

Changed  the oil in the Civic today .  A little over a year since last done. Maintenance minder said 30 %. Only drove 11,500 kms. Wow

Ha! I did the Sonic yesterday, also just over a year (March 2020), 4012 km - I win!  Minder said it was at 21% (But it didn't go anywhere!!).  It's also synthetic.  I love changing oil on the Sonic...if you're in a hurry you can do it in less than 20 minutes, it took me 30 and I was moving slow.  I bet you could change it without even putting it on ramps it's all so accessible.  The truck on the other hand... that's a good hour or more it's such a facking PITA.

Yup, got a blue roof.   I'll have to watch a video or two, doesn't look too easy.

this week, both of my ordered vehicles went into production! ordered 8 months apart... just another stick shift rubicon (more boring sting grey colour so having mixed feelings), and a hybrid pacifica... spending way yoo much money. i had thought the rubicon just wasn't getting built, so had figured i didn't have to worry about it.

[OliverD]

So the delay was for the Rubicon? Why so long of a wait?

[ktm525]

Does the Rubicon suffer from the glass jaw manual transmissions or is that just the heavier Gladiator over taxing it?

What?!  Dammit man, when's the yellow stick-shift going into production!?  The garage has been Jeep-free for three months now!  Good customer service would suggest a loaner, stick-shift Rubicon, I think.

I think you should be able to handle it. After all the wrenching you have done on your  other vehicles.

Did you buy a top with the rain rail  already attached ? Makes install go easier. Most times you shouldn't reuse the old one,they become brittle.

New top in a box came with the car, I just patched the old one and never installed the new one, until now I guess.    Doubt it has a rain rail if that's separate.  Is that a dealer part?    I'll have to pull it out of the box and have a good look

the delay was on the rubi, yes... ordered it in July!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!!! canada's allocation has been brutal.

the stick shift.. meh... i'd say it was bad luck for that one C&D has (plus they really "test" it by beating the crap out of it.. should still last through that though!) this one will be my 5th 6-speed, and i haven't really had too much of a problem (one didn't like to stay in 2nd and popped out, but had that fixed).

crazy eh? still fricken BX status... was talking to my rep about that one on tuesday and he said canada is getting 3/month of allocation of that package. I'll keep buggin him!

If it's a Robbin's it might have the rail included. I wouldn't want to guess what Mazda would want for that part.

I'd love to go for a ride with you.  Hopefully, restrictions will allow that before the end of summer.

Didn't your parents tell you not to go for rides with strangers?    
Yes for sure when the restrictions are lifted, we'll set it up.  Just be forewarned, it's a tight fit.

Giving the wheels a good clean before ceramic coating them tomorrow.




Gave the bike boots a clean whilst I was out there with the hose.

Yes, but I already am in the valley of happiness. There honestly is nothing else to do. Will save all remaining money for maintenance and repairs.
