    - I definitely want to see this fatass dog fall over while it's talkin at me.

    - I've also heard good things about Eric and he recommended the amazing transmission dude that I worked on my wagon.

    - Has the steering wheel been removed for any reason? It's pretty easy to reinstall it off a tooth and have it misaligned.
    I did mean wiper puller. Crank it down and they pop right off. You're welcome to borrow it. Just let me know when you need it, and how you want to arrange for the drop.

    The impact wrench I bought is Harbor Freight, so not sure how good it will be. I haven't used it, yet. It's for my upcoming %^& bearing job to remove subframe bolts/nuts.

    Ooow, thanks for the link for the transmission guy. That's really good to know, since my son's ZHP has an auto.

    The steering wheel was replaced, supposedly by the dealer. I spoke to the original owner that was a member here, and he said the alcantara looked like a snot rag, so he had the dealer swap it with leather, which is fine by me. Hard to imagine a dealer getting it that crooked and the client being OK with it, but I guess it could happen. I was going to get it on my ramps and count threads on the tie rods to see if it is close on both sides. I think there may be a little holding back of the full story on this car. It's in pretty good shape, but the owner claimed someone clipped his passenger side mirror while parked. Possible, but... And then I noticed that same side, along the passenger side skirt, the bottom is scraped.It isn't visible at all, but it's rough on the bottom. And I have mushrooming on only the passenger side strut tower. I think the guy jumped a curb, and didn't want to admit it. Maybe I'm wrong. I also have a swishing sound I'm trying to diagnose. It may be the auto climate control fan, but could be something with the front passenger side wheel. Yeah, that side again. Hmmm. And the guy never met a curb he didn't like. ha!

    Tool wise I doubt there’s anything I have which hasn’t already been listed, although I don’t remember seeing anyone list a ball joint separator. I have a Porter Cable DA polisher, a shitload of different pads/product, and more importantly I happen to really enjoy detailing.

    Unlike most people, I’m quite comfortable working with (read: messing around with) adaptive lights. I did cutoff shield modding and clear lens swapping on my X3, which admittedly is a little more complex than the E46 from a greater pivot axis. So if anyone wants to venture down that road, I’m happy to help. I’ll be swapping in TRS ZKW-R clear lenses into my coupe in the coming 4-6 weeks, assuming time permits.

    One thing to note: after much bitching, moaning, and ass-dragging, I’m actively pursuing a very specific employer, which would put me back in Greensboro. With that said, I’d probably be back in Charlotte at least one weekend each month after (when, not if) I move.

    I’d like to see what all the hype’s about, but them wildfires are kind of a bummer. I’ve been thinking about checking out Yosemite this year or next.

    Sockethead, I ran across this guy years ago, and have really enjoyed his videos. He's funny and entertaining, and gives some good advice about detailing with a polisher.

    I learned a fair bit from Larry Kosilla (AmmoNYC) and these guys. Definitely good videos to watch.

    Our yard is so shady, we still had snow, today, but it felt great in the sunshine. Our driveway didn't survive the snow, and turned into a muddy mess. Will work for gravel.

    I knocked the heavy grime off the ZHP, left the MINI dirty, and got my roadster cleaned up nicely except for dirty tires on the way out of the sloppy driveway. After this cold snap we've had, 68 in the sun felt like summer, so we rode around with the top down. Woohoo! We've missed it. Yeah, I know, should have bought a white ZHP to get the ol' red, white, and blue.

    I hope my NC friends were able to enjoy the beautiful day, today.
