LVP is on a distinguished road
Last few weeks were "good" for the cars. Good as in I got stuff done. Crap that I had to get stuff done.

- Straightened two rear summer rims (style 168's). Because I value my marriage, I'm stating with certainty the bends were a gift from the PO. Found an awesome place in London, Ontario that made them perfect again.
- Scored some parts from a wrecker and installed: front left park sensor, leather shift boot, rear heated seat/switches/relay, rear cup holder face trim
- Redid bumper attachment clip I snapped from the last time I pulled it off.
- Thermostat
- CV boot clamp
- Got new Conti's for the 535i plus a dealer alignment.
- Ordered the Tekonsha RF brake controller
- Ordered the euro heated mirror glass inserts (eBay special)
- Ordered upper rear right suspension arm (last of the rear joints, initial shop missed this one)
- Snagged a set of noise reduction ear plugs for the track this summer (SureFire EarPro Sonic Defenders Plus). Even if they're crap, they sound awesome

On the hunt for a passenger mirror base (high gloss) that doesn't cost an arm and leg. Same for passenger roof rack. Mine have the corrosion flaking off the paint. Ugh.
