I used to have Blipshift's "Change We Can All Believe In" bumper sticker, but it ended up getting too cracked and worn out so I had to remove it. I wish they would make another because I thought it was so darn clever. Now I have these two:

Wrapped the cracked and faded light wood trim pieces with a matte army green film. First time I've wrapped anything other than a few gifts...

It turned out FAR better than I expected. Wasn't sure of the color choice, but a roll of this is $20 and it's removable so if I hated it I could easily undo it.

The cracks are slightly visible and I f'd up a few of the tight-radiused corners but I'm fine with it.

Yeah I need to replace the screen, and that wire sticking out is the power-on for a Bluetooth cassette adapter ($15, way cheaper than a Carplay retro). I found a source for the screen, new, but it's $250. Meh, it can wait.

I have enough left for the center console which is coming out to replace the sliding cupholder thing which was only $15 for a 3D-printed replacement. but that will have to wait until almost August due to vacation and work travel.

Replaced wheel bearings, rebooted the front CV joint, replaced LF speed sensor and apparently allowed the wife to break the LR dhc....

Found and swapped out the LR dhc, I guess we'll see how long it lasts as I've never bought this "brand" before...

Yeah? Taiwan

Took the X5 out of the garage. First a wash. Next appointment across town. It's nice to drive in 42F air vent settings. 39 miles to go to hit 160,000!!!

Funny Photoshop job. The real world doesn't really need emphasis added!
