The way out is through
Default

Well, I bummed I missed it. Lisa and I were going to try to get out there before going over to her dad's for dinner (he lives near Stead), but I really needed to change the oil on the SVX (it was way over-due, and then some).

Since the WRX is parked down at BBR waiting on getting the suspension patched up, my garage was empty for the 1st time in forever, so I figured I'd change the oil and finally install the tranny cooler and filter I've had sitting around for like a year. Of course the tranny filter required about an hour more time to mount that I was expecting... and when I went to re-install the splash guard I come to find all the damn screw holes are stripped (I'm guessing it's Jiffy-Lube's fault, since the splash guard has to come off to get to the oil filter), so that's another 30 minutes drilling and tapping all the holes to 8mm. So anyway, I wasn't done 'till like 1:30, and we were planning on heading out there around noon... so we scrapped going out and just watched the F1 race instead.

At least the race was awesome!
