What did you do to your car today?

My Buick had its shrinking door seals put back into place, and new pieces put into the gaps. Also I checked the fluids under the hood.

Well, yesterday (if that counts to some degree) I just got the car back from the dash repair, I ran power to the front seats underside for the new red LED lights for the back floor and then reinstalled the center console. Cleaned the car up some today (interior).

She will be getting a new rear O2. My car has been getting too much attention lately. New Plugs (AL 605's), Trans Fluid (Amsoil), front O2 (Denso). In the past few months she's also gotten a new hub, and got brakes last fall.

Not really enough time to do anything today. Big plans for the Cutlass though this summer including interior re-paint, seat swap, and center console install as well as building up the engine. The '03 will have new front rotors, drivers side front hub, and new tires in the next two weeks.

Both cars need a good polish and wax... bad I just wish I knew someone that could do that sort of work for me :)

Drove it to work (hated it), drove it home (hated it), scowled at it sitting on the side of the street (meh), imagined in my head it rolling off a cliff in a ball of fire (loved it!)

Yesterday I put 1.9 rockers in my car along with stiffer springs and what not, and today I squeezed $50.34 in her before heading back to school from spring break. She could however use a bath and a good clay bar and waxing soon.

Well, today I broke the bulb retainer and bulb on my projectors trying to adjust it. Lovely!

New bulb retainer is on the way, and a new set of Osram Xenarc D2S bulbs. I also took the offending headlight apart so that I can adjust it, set it permanently, and not have to worry about it again for seven years when the Xenarcs will have dimmed to the point that they will need replacing. And even then, it shouldn't need further adjustment.

Ouch!

The car got gas with a splash of 2-cycle oil to combat the knock-prone slop they call gas around here. Seems to have helped, knock on wood.
