Out of curiosity what was posted speed?

When going stupid fast I refer to the speed as the multiple of posted vs. offset.

I've pulled off triple a few times.

The craziest of which I got passed while doing so!

The speed was 60 kph, the cop was at 80+/- kph

Posted was 60 you were doing 120 or were you going 120 over = 180?

I think I read now you were doing 2x cop was doing 1.5x driving along.

The case above were I got passed while going 3x I was pretty sure was a cop and damage done I was going to wait for "rollers" which didn't happen.

I was in a Z28, the car that passed me was a BMW!

No diplomatic nothing but I am disappointed that cops are enforcing those speed suggestions

Noticed a trail of oil drips followed me into work... friggin filter cap o-ring bulged out after torquing it to (as it's printed right on it) 25nm. Fixed it in the parking lot after serendipitously finding a 36mm combo wrench in a random tool chest. Lost about 1/2 liter after driving about 20mi yesterday oblivious to the problem post-oil change and failed to notice generous parking spot oilage this morning on departure.

Bought oil and filter. Coming up on 5k miles. Time for an oil change.
Tire rotation? Still a debate. Mine has directional tires. Plus, it's a city driver. Lot of turns. So rotation is beneficial.

Only rotate if you see wear indictive of such. EG fronts usually wear from under steer on the outside and if rear suspension worn it'll chew up the inside edges. Swwp front n back can share the pain but if you have inside wear on the back get the ball joints changed that cause it.
