I'd love to play the game, but all I did today was drive my vehicles. |

Just the opposite here. I let my Flex sit in the driveway. It did get a bath and a full tank of gas Friday night. |

Filled gas, took it to the car wash, vacuumed it out, and put the floor mats through the washing machine. |

New front shocks, new front sway bar bushings, new fuel filler neck. No torch on hand, and so the sawsall rendered the shock tops. Broke down and bought new saw blades just for the occasion. Well worth the $12 spent. One of the old shocks was just along for the ride- zero dampening. Can't wait to roll with the new parts on my 150 mile 'round trip commute. One section of the commute is a bumpy curvy old NY State Parkway. Looking forward to cornering in a vehicle that doesn't handle like a shopping cart on pharmaceutical hallucinogens. Vehicle in question - a 2000 GMC Sonoma, 134K on it. The miniscule 2.2 liter engine is still tight, and will give me 25 to 27 MPG. 5 speed manual tranny and rear end both received a Mobil synth change out a year or so ago. (Non LSD application) Hope to turn at least 200k with it. Will have to get underneath with some rusty metal paint come Spring. The crossmembers that support the pickup bed - I don't think GM could have used a lighter gauge steel unless they had opted to make them from super market tin foil. They're not looking too healthy from their salt exposure. |

Applied pinstripe and then added chrome strips to the grille to give it a better look. |

Changed the oil in both cars - the BMW and the Honda minivan. I also rotated the tires on the BMW (side to side) and washed the wheels. |

Hit a new high mark for MPG in the 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid, this is about 50 miles into this tank of gas:
The commute in (13 miles) was also a personal best, 50.9 mpg according to the trip odometer.
I think temps in the 60s may be the sweet spot, though I haven't driven in hot weather with it. In the cold it has to run the engine for the first few miles to work the heater, even if the battery is fully charged.

Flushed the cooling system and then changed the ATF in my daughters 2004 Honda Accord LX. Then washed hers, mine and the wife's car. |

Looked at the sticker on my windshield and saw that I'm about 6 miles over. Not an issue since I last got it changed about 4000 miles ago, on an interval of 4500-7000 miles. |

Inspection for registration tomorrow, registration this week, redo tinting this week, detailing next weekend, if the weather is good.. "What did you do to your automobile today?" Today was all about driving it, and driving it where it's fun.
It was an absolute blast.
