Sorry to hear this. If there is any way I can help PM me. :frown2:

 

That meth is a special blend for hypermiling. :lol:

Drove Skooby to the grocery. Came back loaded with grub.

 

Wow.... That's a helluva turn.... All on the way to Cardiac Rehab.... You been missing driving the Gnatster?

 

Chuck....

Maybe that was son of Mothman....

 

Mothra King of all moth's.

 

Mothman...Mothman...Mothman.

 

Make sure you take some #0000 steel wool with you on your trip. It really makes cleaning off road bugs at fill ups fast and easy.

 

Oh good idea........should work great on the windows and the bumper and hood and mirror covers.....

THANKS!




:cornut:

 

Crap!:mad2: Went to take my S to Columbus today for some other work and it started shrieking about 15 miles from home.:eek6: It might be the water pump or the fan belt, or something else...just hope it's not a major problem. I drove back home, flashers on and heat turned all the way up...windows and sunroof wide open. Uneventful trip and the car is now lodged in its garage space until I can get an appt. and AAA to have it flatbedded over. So much for driving the baby for awhile...:frown5:

The ONLY good things are I got home safely, and I have my wife's S and my Cooper to drive in the meantime. But I miss my S already....:cryin:

 

Nooo! I'm glad you made it home safely. Good luck, and hope you're driving it again soon!

 

I hope so, too, but my wife is driving the S today, as she prepares for a trip to visit her family overseas. That leaves me with one MINI...my Cooper...lol...and IT has the dreaded CVT [which is why I don't drive it much]! :rolleyes5: If I didn't have BAD luck, I wouldn't have ANY luck at all.:lol:

 

Re-torqued the spark plugs, changed the cabin filter, and re-routed the OBD cable/moved the Scan-Gauge to the top of the dash (I originally mounted it on the knee bolster to the right of the steering wheel).

 

For the very first time in six years I've added 1/2 qt of oil between 5K oil changes. Hmmmm.

 

Aired up the tires on my wife's car and filled the tank for her big move to the airport and off to visit her family for 7 weeks bright and early tomorrow. On Thursday, I'm off to Denver and her poor MINI will sit at the Park and fly til I return the following Monday. then, it will be time to see what is ailing MY S, as I will have to have it flatbedded to Columbus for a few days.:frown5:

 

Washed off all of the bug cadavers after the drive back from Seattle. Averaged better than 35mpg again, and that with several triple digit runs.

 

$4.15 - wow. I do love living in Florida.

 

No smog here, just forest fire smoke......

 

Washed 1,000 miles of road grime off, put a new coat of wax on and filled up with cheaper 93 than I saw anywhere else over the previous 5 days.

 

They only smog test cars in major population centers, here in Washington State.

I live out in the boonies, so no smog test.
