Things have been really busy in the Firm household lately, so I haven't done much car stuff at all for the last 2-months or so. Today was my birthday, and the weather was OK (+13C but windy) so I took the afternoon off and gave the Slade a proper wash, first of the season. I didn't have time to break out the polish and glaze (I will soon though), but washed all the jambs, wheel wells, flushed out the underside, cleared the rocker panels drains, wiped down the engine bay, etc.
She's got a few battle scars (most of which were there when we got it), but I am pretty pleased with how this 16 year old 270K km truck is holding up. It'll be 6 years of ownership in May, and it's been the most reliable vehicle I've owned, by a long-shot. The only vehicle I own where I'll legitimately go like 2+ months without even opening the hood to check fluids and things, it just never needs anything. Zero intent to replace this thing.
