    Changed to winters on my wife's Outback, took my Mustang for what was supposed to be it's last ride. Then the rain yesterday prevent me from washing the car so I'll be looking for one last nice day to drive, fill with gas, wash and wax and put away.

    I spent the day yesterday installing a double sheer shift rod (DSSR) in the M3. What a pain that was! My arms look like I've been doing kinky bondage things with all the scrapes and bruises around my wrists. The shifter does feel like it has less play and the shifts feel more solid now.

    Mines far overdue, but I just can't justify a new one when I know it'll get a crack my first trip out to BC this winter. I'm going to get one in the spring once the rocks are cleared off the road.

    That's why I've got my winter rubber on alloys.

    For the price difference, it was so worth not having to look at steel wheels for half the year. My winter wheels actually look nicer than my stock wheels with my summers.

    My radiator developed a pinhole leak, so I put a new one in a few days ago. Installing a radiator in driveway at night using work lights during a snow storm after a ten hour shift is not something I recommend.

    Also, a shout out to Sunridge Nissan. They quoted me $290 for a radiator over the phone, but when my girlfriend went to pick it up, they knocked $60 off the price.

    I also installed an UltraGauge to monitor engine temperature. It also has a bunch of other slick little features like fuel economy and the ability to set audible alarms.

    On another note, does anyone with a heated garage want to be my friend?

    VNT actuator adjustment messed up.

    Vanes clogged with carbon.

    Repaired both issues.

    Wasn't as much of a PITA as I thought it would be.

    Decided to make block heater plug-in a little cleaner. I hate seeing the cord, and the plug always gets covered in filth. Fortunately I have a front hitch receiver that doesn't get used at all in the winter.

    Now I just need to googley eyes to cover those front plate holes .

    Bonus points that I'll never rip the block cord apart if I forget to unplug it, and the cord will never drag itself to death on the road.
