Ready for winter.
Same here. Changed oil, filter, transmission and diff fluids last night. Nice having a lift, took less than an hour.

I’m going to try and bring some 80 degree warmth back with me when I return next week. Spending quality time with mom and dad and catching up with childhood friends. Appears the first daughter enjoyed visiting my hometown as well. They rolled out the red carpet for her.

I think that in the spring I need a detail and possibly a paint restoration on the S2000.

Since I don't want the car to be damaged in the process, can anyone provide sound advice on what I should really focus on with a shop's qualifications. Berlina Black. In addition to fine swirl marks and somewhat light scratches (and you'll also remember the pine sap fiasco), I have micro paint chips on the hood and fender from following Aashish to closely at track days.

Back home yesterday afternoon. Still feeling the effects of jet lag. Should be over it in a couple of days. Hope everyone is doing well and is enjoying the season. This period through the end of the year is something I enjoy a lot. People are nice to each other and the whole air is festive. Too bad that right after the new year is rung in, things are dreary until Spring arrives.

I can recommend a few places in Albany (although I've never personally used someone else). Perhaps the good Doctor B will pay for the detail as well.

I've been hearing a lot about ceramic coating. Perhaps you can find a detailer that can do that for you.

If I remember correctly those ceramic coatings can be pricey.

Levi - does Aric still detail cars? If he still does, then I think Jeff should set up an appointment with him next spring.
