Nice to see it's back to normal.

If it were me, I'd OCD out and open the coolant vent for 5 min at the beginning of the next 2-3 drives

One more thing: I reset all counters, hence the 9.9 MPG. I don't drive quite that aggressively.

Mick, please clean your steering wheel.......Im gonna obsess about it all night hahaha. My habit is to take one of the shopping car wipes from the grocery store when I leave and do a quick detail in the parking lot. Then light it on fire, toss it out the window on some dry grass while doing a burn out in the parking lot.

The left coast hates me.

Semi Joking.

You're cracking me up over here!

But, you know what? For you guys, I will do this. I'm heading home in less than an hour (for the day - huzzah!) to meet that friend of mine with the Durametric. I'll give the wheel a wash then. I will say that I drive everywhere, all the time, with the windows down. The interior is completely clutter free, but is rather filthy. I'll do you one more and take the time to wipe the whole damn thing down. Let go of your OCD, my friends. Set it free.

Cheers to you - have a wonderful weekend!

(One more thing: orange or clear side-markers? I'm going back to orange. Muahahahahahaaa!)

Purple side markers! With 10,000k HID's behind them!

And, use nothing but grass fed Irish sheep wool cloths on the interior, one wipe per side then in the trash with them!
