Next step is a full on GridGuard perimeter but I don't want to spend that kind of money on this house.

What is that stuff? It can stay there 24/7 or needs to be put on when parked only? Little pests go under my plastic engine cover, so I removed the cover but they still go to the same spot on top of the engine.

It's just 3d printed sheets of spikes that I cut down to size. ABS to withstand the heat. I just leave it there.

Took the cover and trickle charger off the Boxster yesterday, adjusted the tire pressure and took the car out to the shop for a seasonal oil change and tech inspection. Club race and driver education is next weekend with Friday as a full-on advanced solo lapping, and the first driver education weekend of the season. Was nice to get back onto the road in a manual transmission. I may need new tires mid-season.

I miss that about BMW ownership.
Getting into your car in the morning, your heart rate rises, insert the key, get the cold sweats, and pray to Jesus, Allah, and Buddha that your car will start. And if it does, you let out a sigh of relief and pray again no check engine lights or error codes.
That, or it's just so frustrating, it sits in the shop awaiting diagnostics and parts from Germany.

Then.. you're like damn it's gonna be a good day today! Beautiful day, breeze isn't too cold, time to roll down the windows/use the sunroof and cruise - wait it got stuck.

that gti is still best gti
but it makes sense you drive it so little when you've got an open-top experience. it'll take a while to get sick of the wind in your hair and the excellent balance/handling characteristics of the Miata.

or or or.... you open the door, hop in and wonder... is today the day this car financially ruins me.
today i fucked up:
brought the x5 in for its last paid/included service. i guess i wasnt paying enough attention when i was buying the car. all i heard was blah blah BMW Ultimate Care plan all ur shit is included until ___day. 3 hours in, they called and said the car will be ready soon, u needs new wipers do u want us to change them? they seem ok to me but since its included ya ya ya change that shit. when i went to pick up the car they charged me $112 for the wipers. so apparently its the BMW Ultimate Care+ plan is the one that includes wipers.

Technically not "what did you do to your vehicle today", but rather "what did you do to your dad's vehicle yesterday":
After convincing my dad that it's not safe to drive, and better leave that to me, I was driving back to my parents' place with my dad.
With utmost grace, I reversed his RAV4 into the garage with speed and precision, and then closed the garage door.
We watched in horror as the garage door crunched into the front bumper. Right in front of our eyes.
It hit the car so hard that it stalled and jerked around a bit. In a panic, I hit the garage door button again to open it again.
Crunch, jerk-jerk-jerk.
I looked at my dad. He just had a blank look on his face. I wasn't sure what he was feeling.
I panicked again. BANG! jerk-jerk-jerk.
Finally I gathered enough clarity to just back the car up, off of the garage door.
We went to go look. The garage door had driven a metal tab into the car. The gouges were deeep into the plastic of the bumper.
"Hey dad... got any touch-up paint?"

Personally, I find that they don't last very long. The consensus is mixed here.
Some people here don't bother knowing they aren't very good/don't last long.
Others will use it any way and return them to Costco.
Then there's the cohort of people who think they are the best thing since sliced bread.

Not trolling ... but doesn't your garage door opener/closer have this light sensor which prevents it from closing when there is an object in its path? They don't have this feature in Toronto?

I was wondering the same.
I think in Toronto, these sensors don't exist. Must be from another planet.

I like Edmonds battery if the auto wrecker doesn't work out... if you have a shop account they're usually like $130ish
