Default What Did you Do to your Car Today

I know a few other forums i have been a member of has one of these Threads one has been going for a few years now successful
its a good interesting fun thread to pass some time with
also to keep members posted on whats going on with your ride without starting a new thread every time you want to post a picture of a new mod or something you did or even just detailing or filled up on gas nothing is to far out and nothing to to small for this


So what did you do to your Car or Truck today

Today or tomorrow I'll wash her. Days off are so rare you gotta balance them with both being productive and relaxing!

Picked up a set these BMW style 5 wheels made by BBS.
Not in the best shape so I started to take 2 apart to refinish and polish them.
These 2 I just started to polish the lips and then I got 8 more wheels to do.

Took my Nissan Pathfinder in for service because the motor for the chair died and I was feeling uncomfortable driving a bit further from the petals than usual and the power window was acting up, since they needed to keep the car overnight since the part needed to be ordered, they offered me a customer paid rental for $50 not a bad car for a day I must say.

Drove it up to pick my father up from the shop he dropped his car off for a oil pan and PB cable to be replaced then drove us to ihop for breakfast and home

latter ill top the tank off with some fresh 89 Octane Fuel and a bottle of Techron

checked the Oil level Yesterday 850 miles since i last checked the oil and hasn't lost a drop of it atleast it seems to be in the same place
witch is weird for me to not have to add oil considering my last car used 1 qt every 900 miles

I got some Gold Valve stem caps for the tire valve stems and thought they would look nice with the gold emblems on the wheels

now i think im going to try and see about getting my chrome trunk and hood emblem gold plated
