Last saturday, fixed coolant leak with a 49 cent o-ring. Thought it was going to be a hose connected to the ET. Jacked it up and dropped the belly pan. Turned out it was the temperature sensor on the lower radiator hose connector.
Dealer wanted $6, was a 30 mile drive and was closing any way. Got a similar o-ring at the local Ace hardware store for 49 cents. Took about 20 minutes to replace. Didn't even have to drain the coolant. Easy peasy.
Just did that one myself... except my wife works at the dealership so I got the official one... same results though, no coolant loss.
New battery. Dead cell 3 yrs and 3 months in. Guess what the warranty was... 3 years! :)

The other day I disconnected the anti-roll bars, simply because in this area the car gets pounded by road deficiencies, which means the end links (spherical rod ends up front) wear even more. I swapped to snow tires recently and figured the handling is going to suck anyway with snows, so I disconnected the bars (front is just disconnected and tied out of the way with zip-ties, but the rear bar is completely out because there's no way to tie it up without hitting suspension components.)
I have to say I was very surprised the body roll isn't that bad without them. I'd recommend it for anyone driving on these sh*tty NE roads. Bonus: when you take the snows off and reconnect the bars, it feels like a Porsche. :biggrin
Replaced brake lines and replaced a missing oil drain cover.

Wrapped my steering wheel with a Wheelskins leather cover--love the looks and feel. I have them on all my cars.
