Added some Oil to frankenbenz, and fed it a whole jug of washer fliud (it wasn't even empty!) and $20 of diesel # 2 in the tank (people give you such nasty looks when you fill a car up with it running)

When I had my Biscayne, I had to fill it with the car running.. otherwise the solenoid in the starter would seize up and not want to start again if I shut it off. The filler cap is behind the rear license plate, and I got some funny looks at the filling station. It probably did look like I was going to pour gas on the exhaust pipes, though.
ugh, don't remind me that the car probably needs a solenoid in the near future, along with tires, an oil change (maybe this weekend along with my car and my friends E320) and a new body
frankenbenz (gf's car) is getting a little rusty around the edges
ok, maybe a lot rusty
Ugh. Fe2O3 is bad. I hope the ND winter doesn't eat my car away. I would be sad. But even if the body gets eaten away, it will probably still start and drive.
Swapped the summer tires for the winter ones. While the car was off the ground I pulled the right rear caliper and confirmed it does indeed need rear brakes as well. I've never had that happen before. They must have hit the sensors within a day or two of each other.Replaced front brake rotors, pads, and wear sensors. Sadly the service brakes light is still on, so I'm assuming I'll be doing the rears in the near future.
DO NOT give your mom a ride in your car. Or a fat chick.I put this awesome sticker inside of my car.
It says:
"This Mazda is Equipped with a Rotary Engine. Due to possible breathing problems under heavy acceleration, all females are advised to remove all tight fitting or constrictive clothing for safety"
Sorry, the picture didn't come out as good as I wanted it too.
Yesterday, I drove my car up into the mountains. Today, I "traded it in" for a MkV Jetta. I wonder how many things VW will find wrong with it.
If you're 12.That's pretty sweet 👍
Had to change the front tires on our V70, they were positively ruined. Then went in for winter rubber on our XC90.
Yesterday a friend and I drove a Volvo 240 Polar to Amsterdam and leaked 4 liters of coolant.
