Took the gear shift **** off, took it to Home Depot for a color match on the leather in an 8 oz ultra premium latex paint, took it home and painted nicks in the top of the gearshift **** leather and also the top areas of the steering wheel leather near the wood where it was beginning to show wear and changed color. Looks like new and you can't tell where the touch up starts and ends! If it wears off, I'll just repaint it. The 10 year old interior now looks like new again.

Replaced foam surrounds for my front driver door speaker.
First time in my life and always wanted to do it. Turned out to be fairly easy.
I am going to let the glue cure overnight.
Proof is in the pudding so I will know tomorrow how it sounds.

Put on a set of Michelin Premier 245/45R18 tires! So quiet on the freeway, I can hear the engine revs change as it goes through the gears!
06 ML, 42,000 miles.
