ZHPizza's red car

It doesn't look that bad in the pic because you can't smell it.

It's been one month since the spill.

My garage still smells like rotten trash.

I flew too close to the sun.

Nate, I just read your entire build thread, and enjoyed the heck out of it. You had me laughing throughout. This part had me laughing the most, because I am too familiar with the smell of diff oil. It's so nasty. On my last oil change, I thought I had a filter but was mistaken, so decided I'd let the oil really drain out for a long time while I went to pickup a filter from Hendricks in Huntersville. When I got back, there was a massive puddle of oil under the car. I had forgotten to remove the drain plug in the oil container under the car. The cheapest Walmart kitty litter, and a little degreaser took care of that mess. Hopefully the smell is gone by now, but if not, check out Super Clean in the purple jug. Great stuff. And congrats on your marriage. I hope you still get to buy cool toys from time to time.

Haha thanks dude! I love sharing disaster stories. Always reminds me of the best bit of advice I received from my first boss when I was starting out in engineering:

Everything always takes longer than it does.

Makes me feel better when seemingly every garage project has some level of "ah shit."

I know that's right. My wife was leaving for Atlanta Mon morning and needed an oil change in the MINI Countryman. It's ridiculous where they place that oil filter housing. Well, my 15 minute oil change turned into an overflow coolant tank issue. Luckily, it was just an o-ring swap on a fitting on the bottom of the tank and I had spare coolant, but it was cold Sun, and I nearly froze trying to get all that wrapped up before dark.

Great quote!

ZHP PIZZA!!! Oh buddy, I've been stalking your hard around here and E46F. We've shared our short talks too. Love the build thread and glad I found it! I'm personally looking forward to a wheel change! It's been a while since I've seen this kind of passion in E46, it's uplifting. Keep up the good work!
