Post what you did to er and maybe even a picture to accompany it.

Today I just washed it and did a quick wax job. It was pretty dirty from about 5 commutes to work!

Contemplated burning it again.

So underneath the car fixing the corroded starter solinoid wire and come to the conclusion I'm going to need to run a new wire from the fuse block since the wire is in poor condition, but the current patch will do( saturate the wire in dielectric grease and crimp)

While I'm under there the water pump starts leaking every where.

But to defy god my coolent level has been creeping up without any visible contamination, that and the engone oil is doing the same.

Had the 600 lb/in front Hotchkis spring on my Camaro come right out onto my thumb when I went to try and make sure it was clocked properly...not particularly enjoyable...can understand your disinterest there.

Changed the wheels out for the winter set, and the shimmy that my car has is still there... so I'm thinking drive shaft, more along the lines of the amount of play the output has allowing it to be off center. Resonates at 85, and 93-95kph

Changed the oil with about 6500km, a little over the five. Pulled coil pack and inspected spark plugs. Installed them 20,000km-12,500mI ago. Despite the 18ft/lb all were firm to loose. Retorqued to 20ft/lb

Household hardware Finger Automotive tire Nickel Gas


Same story on all 4 plugs

Today I used the Cruze to get me to a group bike ride. Very easy with a hitch rack, downside is I backed into a concrete pole. Speed was literally off brake reverse and everything looks fine. A tiny scratch on the rack end cap where the bottle opener is.

Purchased Titanium plates to cover all the gray trim. Needless to say thay came with Mr. Cruz etched in them. Well, I'm a chick and not a Mr. So I wrapped them instead.

What chrome? It's just silver - not at all supposed to be chrome.

Chrome in air quotes. They made it have a metal like appearance so I lump it into the fake chrome category. It doesn’t look ideal too me, I’d prefer black.
