New Front Tires
Got a pair of Toyo Proxy ST II for the front. Had Contentials on the front and Proxy's on the back now I have a matching set. On the way home I noticed how much better it drove with the new tires. Didn't track at all. When I got home from the shop I noticed that the rear left and the front left had oppisite tread pattern. So I looked a little closer and the rear left tire had "right" printed on it, Shook my head and thought how carelss the dealer was that I bought it from a year ago, and how careless I was for not noticing. In my defense, the Contentials had a much different tread pattern so the reversed pattern wan not that noticable. So I rotated the rear tires all proud of my self. Guess what. It didn't matter. Both rears were installed as rights on the rims. So I took it to a shop and had them reverse one of the tires on the rims (and patch a nail hole). So now I have matching set of tires all installed correct. The difference in how it drives is remarkable, plus there was a tire hum that I wasn't even aware of with the reversed tire. Its gone with the correct tread direction.
Getting neoprene seat covers from bavauto next. Sitting in my truck after surfing is taking a toll on the leather. |

I added a pull out awning to my roof racks, took a bit of fiddling around getting the brackets to fit, but now we can have shelter wherever we go!
For some reason, I didn't get a pic of it in it's open position though...

Windows 7, haven't had any experience with their phones (minus the old school Treo days), but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say its faster than mine. Don't know if I'd have gotten the pic if not prepared. Hopefully IOS 5 will usher in new features. Safe & happy driving my friend.

1stE53 definitely get the 100k photo, hoping I'll make it there with minimal difficulty one day as well. Went back to VA again and am now around 22k, at this pace 100 won't be far off. Windows 7, haven't had any experience with their phones (minus the old school Treo days), but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say its faster than mine. Don't know if I'd have gotten the pic if not prepared. Hopefully IOS 5 will usher in new features. off topic, but iOS 5 has copied most of the features form WP7. Don't fall for the dark side and get an iPhone . To get back on topic... I put in half a quart of oil yesterday to top it off. She has only burned a quart and a half in the last 7500 miles. It usually burns a quart every 9 to 10k. I only start thinking about changing the oil once the 3rd service light goes out. I ordered new head gasket seals though. Will replace those next week. Hopefully that will curb the leaking and I'll go back to the one or less quartz every 10k.

Zize LED License Plate lights. New PIAA wiper blades.
I need to install new BMW roundels, 25mm H&R wheel spacers, and some random interior parts that have broken over time. |

Went for a little drive and completely missed the tick over to 15k! Oh well. Now time for some preventative maintenance. Brake flush, coolant, and maybe the first transmission flush since it is 7 years old.
I also decided this would be a good place to u/l the other odo pics! See? I *can* get the right shot.. SOMETIMES!
