    Dropped off Ryu at the dealership for new sneakers, fixing a bent rim, and an oil change.

    I'd count that for +5 points more if you could do that in Dallas when it snows. Not only are most people down here clueless about driving in the snow, but they are driving RWD pick-ups and SUVs with bald tires. :crazy:

    Drove to my soccer game last night with the radio off. At low speeds when the exhaust is quiet, I can hear the telltale "marbles in a can" sound that means the supercharger isn't happy. I changed the supercharger fluid at 80k, and now I'm at 108k. On the bright side, the water pump is known to go bad and cause those sounds, too, so maybe it's not so bad. =\

    Made sure she was tucked snugly in the garage, so she could watch tonight's pending snow fall through the window. :Thumbsup:
