Went for a beautiful ride in the sunshine! And, considering the last couple of weeks, that's a major accomplishment. (The sunshine, that is.)
I've hosed mine off 3 times in the last 48 hours. That last storm that came through I swear everyone was using their salt up so they wouldn't have to store it till next year.
Washed La Mosa first thing this morning for her week-long date with Eric and the men of Helix starting tomorrow morning.
Washed a months worth of snow crud off the Porker, put the Rat-MINI back in its "display area", and tried to make some headway on other projects with limited success. All in all, it was a good weekend... And that much closer to the Dragon!
I havent even washed it yet. But I did check my oil only to find I was a quart low! Quick trip to autozone yesterday fixed that.
For the love of whatever deity you pray to... don't ever play this game. Avoid at all costs. Your car and wallet will thank you.
Just keep an eye on your oil, and have the N14 checked for carbon build up issues every 20-30K miles... Everything else should have been updated by now if it was serviced at the dealer.
I may take her into Best to have a lookover, but I doubt MAG will ever see my car again unless there is free work to be done.
MAG isn't cheap, for sure, but they do an ok job. If Best wasn't so much farther for me to drive, I'd be there more often. Don't EVER expect to see free stuff from MAG, though, but, don't expect to see freebies from best, either. After all, they ARE in business to make money, too.
All shops are there to make money. That is the only reason they exist. That being said I think the folks at Best are the best. Just my .02....
Replaced most of the interior lights with cool white LEDs. Just have to order up 4 more 194s to take care of the map lights. Also, replaced the puddle lights in the bottom of the doors. Here are replacements I got for the dome, trunk, and glovebox bulbs... new vs. old.
Got to drive it for the first time in a week! But when I was dropping off my daughter at her apartment I hit a bump and the left rear suspension let go. Giving me so much positive camber the wheel was rubbing. Had to go home and my younger son and I took a jack and tools went back to find the problem. He was the heave lifter because I can't lift yet!! It was raining and could. Turned out that the bolt that goes through the lower control arm was not through the arm. This allowed it to move. I did not catch it when I put it together and my alignment guy did not catch it. So I got to lay in the water running down the parking lot and fix it! Back to the alignment shop. I'm getting to OLD FOR THIS CRAP!:mad2:

These are the ones I got for the footwells, puddle lights, and need to order 4 more of for the map lights... got the cool white, 120* version. https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/instrument-cluster-gauge/194-led-bulb-1-led-wedge-base/197/
