Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

North bound and down loaded up and truckin

Hope the devil isn't following you

If he did oh well lol I already put another 100 miles on the car

Haha yeah....I'm short so by the time I get in and smack the snow off my shoes off my legs hit there. Whoopsies.
Car did not like the 1* weather this morning.

Nothing likes 1F

Synthetic engine oil makes my engine just fine with cold starts. I've started it on many 10-15°F mornings, and not a single lifter tap was heard. Or anything abnormal.

^^ thats why i use it as well on all my cars. my van is the worst it sounds like a sowing machine every morning even with synthetic oil.

Hit 177k In the Eldorado today. I swear this thing is going to set a record for the longest living Northstar ever.

I use Dino oil ...

Funny thing is my garage never gets to 1f

Your car isn't leaking water in the pass footwell is it? That was my problem for a while was soaked. Left some container thing that takes out moisture and it was k

BOOO. now this is how you start of your day.




so had to dig out my trunk, aka unload it, drag out the spare tire. the bottle jack didn't fit so i had to use the stock jack to get the tire off, yea me!!! then i took it to my friends pumped it up to 60 psi, hit it with a spray bottle of hot soapy water. found the inside bead leaking the whole way round.

beat the tire off the bead some, installed bead sealant, so far so good, passed the bubble test back at 60 psi.

after that crap was done, i sanded up my used wheels and snow tires cleaned them up some and did some below freezing plastidip work on them, not to bad really.

they all looked like this.




sanded up the lip, removed any clear left on them.



and dipped.



where they get to sit till its a gonna snow again.



still wet in these shots, it dulls up pretty good when dry.

well scotty your ready for the snow. lets have a party lol

Did the 5* cold start this morning. Car cranked right up, with no ticking or other odd noises that aren't usual (the S/C coupler rattling like a bat out of hell). Went to Wal-Mart, gassed it up, and found out why my gas tank only holds 12 gallons after driving down to 1/8 of a tank - I can put at least two more gallons in there after the first click-off.\

Then baited a ricer in a Civic at a stop light by rolling my window down and playing One Direction at full volume. Some kid wearing a beanie and sitting way too far forward in the seat must've thought he was on Fast and Furious. It was fun to cook him on green. I got the ricer flyby about half a mile later.

washed the filthy beast.
