Got new tires and an alignment yesterday. Very impressed with this shop, they had me sit in the car during the alignment to make sure it was set right for my weight!
I went from 285's in the rear to 295's, I like the look much better, will give a review on my new Pilot Sport 4S's after a few weeks.
I've been leaking about one psi a day from my drivers side rear tire for a few months. I took it to Discount Tire and they said they found a slow leak in the tire and patched it, still leaked afterwards. While doing the tire swap yesterday here's what they found, a cracked rim!!! Goobers at Discount Tire didn't notice? ???? Anywho, I have another new wheel on order from Porsche, $1200'ish. I've made a claim with USAA, let's see what they pay.
Really? Discount Tire couldn't see this??? Showing the clearance with the 295's...
Do you think they might have cracked it while installing the tire?
What a beautiful day for driving.
Since the family stayed home because they didn't feel well, I took the long way to and from church.
Planning on doing some more driving this evening.
I'm 293 miles away from my first 1000 mile oil change.
Keeping the revs (mostly) below 5K until then.
Weather forecast looks nice this coming week.
Hoping to get a lot more driving in!
After finally buttoning up the UAOS install and letting her idle up to temperature for many minutes to check for leaks (none yet! , I took her to the car wash for a much-needed bath. Still loads of snowmelt on the roads so the bath didn't last long. Just that time of year.

After laboring over the UAOS install intermittently for a month, I got the car fired up, took her for a bath (previous post), and took her for a spin. Realized way too late that I should've had the battery on a tender. Car was idle for a month and it frankly just skipped my mind.
Somewhere around 6:30 PM near Morrison, all warning lights and errors start popping and I'm losing power. Ended up towed to a local indy for diagnostics but 99% sure I just killed the battery. I had to be wheels up again today and with all the UAOS install time, I wasn't willing to tow it home and diagnose there. Hopefully she'll be done by the time I get home.

A bad battery should not do that.
The alternator should keep everything running and you should not notice much until you shut off the engine and try to restart it.
Hopefully it's an easy fix.
I went for a 40 mile drive this morning before work.
Drove past the power plant and saw a bunch of deer.
As I drove by I think I head the doe exclaim to the buck, “isn’t that a flat-six?!”
