Changed the oil, and trans fluid (Redline MT-90). Found a bunch of rust in the fenders at the bottom. So bad one of them is actually ripped because it's so rotted!!! Anybody know a good fitting quality aftermarket?

Replaced spark plugs and changed oil. Checked A/C, wanted to make sure last year's R134 recharge is good for this summer.

Drove 3 hours to Auckland Saturday to do 2 days of mountain biking. Drove back after 3 1/2 hours in woodhill forest Sunday. Fun trip, even with both bikes on the back!!

Reporting a day late...yesterday I drove over to my buddy's house, then headed up to Lincoln Speedway (Abbottstown, PA) to watch 410 and 358 Sprint cars.

Had a clear bra put on the front bumper, fog lights, headlights, mirrors, and entire hood.

Hopefully it'll keep the damn rock chips away.

I have some of that stuff. Once I redo my headlights, I am going to use it to seal them up.

Yeah, it wasn't cheap, but I had a few rock chips that drove me crazy on my last rx8, so it should be worth it not having to worry about getting rock chips this time around.
