Nothing as glamorous as red kryptonite, but I prepped the Boxster at my in-law's place to take back to my parents place to pack it all up for transport back to Toronto this week. Car started right up, no issues. Tires lost a bit of tire pressure, so I topped it off at the Chevron on Willingdon and Canada Way.
The Mini has been sitting around forever since some lady hit the car a number of months ago. It was quite a bear to jump start, but finally managed to get it going. Runs and feels great, even at 329,566KM.

And then of course passed the fucking inspection.
Cain is busy killing unarmed people and having inappropriate sexual relationships with subordinates so no time to hand out VIs.

I tried to paint my car white today to appease the colourblind.
Alas, it was not meant to be, it became blue again. |

LMAO~ multi-layer wrap at that, if you peel the top layer, its still blue underneath, meaning you haven't gone thru enough layers till you hit primer, i mean WHITE!

I think you're onto something.
Everybody's always spending thousands to wrap their car to a different color.
It's maybe $40 in paint thinner to just strip all the paint off and get to flat white ("coke white") priner!!
Hell for another $100 you could sand it all down to bare metal and you get yourself a genuine Cybertruck finish.

My GT4 lip fits very well. Not sure on brand, though the PO said it came from Germany. Haven't seen in one for sale like it as it has a matte finish with a tight weave. Let me see if I can find out.

I helped my elderly new neighbour with his Sebring convertible. Its just been sitting in his garage for overall a year.
Hes a really nice old german guy but doesnt have the strength anymore to do this kind of grunt work. P.s. Fuck you Chrysler and your horseshit engineering.
I had to jack up the car, take off his front wheel (which were absolutely seized, and i had to use a 4ft rod attached to my 3/8 wrench to break the damn nuts) and then take off the cover in his wheel well to access the battery. Which dumbass engineered this!? ANd the battery is one of those weirdo side terminal batteries that are expensive as hell. AC Delco 
Oh and of course the valve cover gasket is oozing out oil. Car is barely driven, has only 70,000kms on it

Is that a squirrel cage fan on the intake manifold? That's a really odd looking manifold.
