^^^^Yes same thing here. I have been doing that for the last two years. Very simple and no need to sit at their place for hours !

If it's only a renewal you can do it at your bank, which is way faster also. If you trade cars you have no choice though, you have to go through the "sit-in" ! I wonder if John and Yoko would have liked that instead of their "bed-in".....

Default Just added coverage

I just put coverage back on today.

Yesterday I installed a nice fresh battery and probably going to go for a nice little run tonight!!

Can't go too far, discovered a slow leak in one of the tires

Very true statement, he discussed that with me and I specified that I wanted to take it out this evening, he made it effective right after our call. Can't waste a nice evening like tonight

Well the Porsche is out of hibernation and tearing up and down the DVP again (my route to work). I forgot how good the car sounded with the sport exhaust... especially that sweet spot between 5 and 7k on the revs. Ah, good times.

Too often that's true, but I'm fortunate enough to be going against traffic for my commute... so I get the occasional opportunity to approach the speed limit.

I'm putting my summers on this weekend! Can't wait!

Also got new front rotors and pads, oil filter/oil, and valve cover and intake gaskets... it's going to be a good weekend under the Jetta!

(Yes I, unfortunately, said "Jetta")
