I used Meguiar's Gold Class Rich Leather Cleaner/Conditioner Wipes (CLICK) since today was a quick treatment to the interior. Typical for this time of year.

During the spring (late May/early June) I use Lexol Leather Cleaner & Conditioner (CLICK) This takes me an hour or so to treat the interior. Every couple of years, I will let the Leather Conditioner soak into the seats by putting a large garbage bag over the seats for a couple of hours before I wipe off any excess. The warmer spring temps helps this process. Seats end up really looking nice and don't have that "greasy" feeling or look. Not nearly as much excess to wipe off; conditioner soaks into the leather.

 

Didn't really do anything to my 2007 Coupe today, but thought this would be the simplest way to inform the largest audience. The DEC/2021 issue of Car & Driver has an article where a Corvette C8 was driven on the Devil's Triangle in TN. FYI

 

Awesome day today it warmed up from -40 to plus 9 (Celsius)
so I felt like doing something.
popped a bearing on a spare pulley with my homemade press
5 seconds boom, done

 

-40? You have to move somewhere, anywhere.

 

2 more years and we’re outta here. Agreed -40 is really brutal

 

Slow day today. So I popped the bearing on spare pulley
it’s not just a spare but a pair of spares

 

Bearings in freezer overnight
Pulleys in oven @215 F for 40 min

Bearings pushed right in.

 

It's a pain that I'm trying to arrive home with the fuel light on and as little petrol in the tank as possible. When I feel that there is sufficiently little I'm replacing the fuel filter and all the rubber fuel hoses around it. Not willing to walk downstairs, I'd say there's maybe a half-dozen of them. What got me onto this project was seeing all the small cracks from age & dry-rot. Not a good thing to pump a flammable liquid through at high pressure!

To increase my chances I just started putting in a MAXIMUM of 3 gallons at a time. Getting sick of that routine MIGHT be what finally makes me do the work!

 

Watching snow & ice coming down on my Crossfire & other vehicles.

 

What did all those similarly styled vehicles used to be?

 

Front Right & Under All-Weather Cover - 2007 Crossfire Coupe
Front Left - 2016 VW Beetle Dune Hatchback
Back Right - 2012 Ford Fiesta SE Hatchback
Back Left - 2006 Ford F150 STX 4x4 Flareside
Inside Garage & Dry - 1995 Jeep Wrangler Rio Grande

 

Put a couple of stickers on the rear side windows that my wife wanted. I don't know how but somehow along the way what was mine has turned into hers. Oh well... One good thing when I ride as a passenger in "her car" is she's not afraid to smash that right pedal followed by a smashing of the one beside it that sends that stupid thing dangling from the mirror flying around.

 

Now when you buy parts, upgrades or work on the Her car it will go a lot easier

 

Those decals are in violation of Guy Code !

 

Tell me about it... As is the heart-shaped thing hanging from the mirror but at least I could stuff that up and out of sight.

 

A quick wash and hit the local canyons for some driving fun.....

 

To protect the seats from unwanted scratches on my 28K miles Xfire I have installed the cheap Amazon seat covers today. Took about 10 min to finish. Not bad for the $13 value seat covers.

 

Is there any way to delete the post? I accidentally posted the same post twice.

 

Those actually don't look bad for the intended purpose.
Don't worry about the double post, you will simply be required to attend Posting 101
