Surprised her with some new floor pads. Small gesture for a smile :)

Met up with my buddy who has a Genesis Sedan R Spec 5.0 V8☺ that thing is bloody fast... 😨

Indeed.  The foot-to-the-floor experience is quite memorable.  The new 5.0 is just about as quick but not nearly as visceral.
Wokeism is nothing more than the recognition and opposition of bigotry in all its forms.  Bigots are predictably triggered.

Took the WeatherTechs out of the Ody, vaccumed the interior, installed the pristine oem carpets and gave it a good handwash. Damn that big black thing looks so cool when its clean! Leave the Pilots to the soccer moms, my van is way cooler  8)

Replaced the microfilter on the 3er.......yawn.......

Parked next to the 3er, I also installed a fender eliminator on the bike. That was more interesting  ;D

a little late, but while I was back visiting home I got to take the Alfa out for some drives...missed what a real driver's car feels like...
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

car will be worth a lot as it is very, very, very rare [especially in the config I have], has excellent racing heritage, and is in pristine shape at that

and yes nobody can spell it right... :stfu:

I agree, great car!

Washed both cars today.  Figured I'd take a shot of this one before it gets dirty in a few more minutes. :P
