Hey, you're not in charge of the ban hammer...CMNTMXR57 wrote:94*... you should get your ban notice shortly!
Washed mine yesterday, it was really dusty, covered in crap. Had my first bug hit the windshield this weekend, that was a sad moment. Just did a basic touch-free wash, then had to wipe it down with quick detailer still, was covered in kind of a caked on layer of crap. Not really sure what that is/was...

Re: What did you do to your car today?
Today I replaced the 21 year old blower motor that failed last week,also cleaned evap core while I had it open.I opted for a new delco blower,glad I did.I now have about 40 percent better air flow,most of which is the new blower because the evap core was not that bad,I had cleaned it previously and it was really bad when I cleaned it the first time.

Re: What did you do to your car today?
I washed mine, clay barred the top surfaces, and waxed it all. Does anyone else wax their windows? I think it makes the water run off better. Less greasy than the rainX stuff.
Cleaned the interior; carpet, seats, door panels. ahhh.

Re: What did you do to your car today?
I cursed at mine.... I'm in the process of replacing both the front drivers strut mount as well as the front drivers lower control arm/bushings/ball joint. Parts don't want to come easy and it started to rain on me. Starting again in the morning with a new plan of attack that should do the trick.
Oh, I also did a soap-less wash and a little tire detailing to make it look not so bad. It still needs a good seasonal cleaning though.

Re: What did you do to your car today?
Spent numerous hours on an oil change on my wife's Saturn Vue. Last place she took over torqued the drain bolt and filter. Had to use spline connectors and get new bolt. Then filter wouldn't come off so I had to remove the wheel and plastic well guard to get better access. Ended up having to use channel locks to remove filter. What a mess...
Can't wait to get my Bonneville back this week so I can start fixing her up all the way.

I gave it a good waxing today, after learning last night that I'm faster than a Saturn Ion redline.

Replaced the coolant elbows with aluminum ones in the Advance Auto parking lot after the car overheated again due to a broken plastic one spewed all the coolant out.... 150 miles into a 500 mile trip home

Re: What did you do to your car today?
I labored over her all day. Visualizing each area mentally and made mental notes of areas or systems that needed attention. Black waxing, headlight clearing, the persistent RF Hub, trunk cargo solutions. My antifreeze ran over a day or two ago too. My Betty is a real keeper if I don/t dog her to death.

Re: What did you do to your car today?
Mine is a "pre" update.
The Bonneville goes back together this weekend (bumper included), and I can drive it again!!
Still have a few things left to do before Michigan, including a proper detailing.
