Default Weekend mods?

I may remove the tires off the old S4 wheels, and refinish them again....this time w/ clearcoat. Hopefully order some new 225/45/17 General Altimax Arctic tires to run this winter...

And most of all, I hope I can close the deal this wkend on selling the BMW. I have several tire kickers, lets see if it solidifys into a sale. If not ebay auction ends Monday....w00t!!<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;sspagename=STRK%3AMESEL X%3AIT&amp;viewitem=&amp;item=220281849326">ebay</a></li></ul>

Default Thanks....yeah, no worries. I found the whole process interesting actually...

Now it's the perfect excuse to build up a nice 1.8t car and track it.

I'm only bummed about all the upgrades and maintenance that I JUST did (H-Sports swaybar installation was only HOURS old).

Car was driving nice and tight when it flew off the road. So it went out with pride at least....

Default Today for TT - change oil, fix leaking sec. inj. pump & maybe swap aux water pump if its leakin

Time to get rid of this thing, its at almost 65K &amp; stuff is starting to go wrong.

Wifey &amp; I think a 996 coupe will probably replace it in the spring.

Beyond that, doing an annual inspection of all the broken stuff my car needs replaced.

Also need to adjust the shifting linkage on the Golf so I can get back into fifth gear again.
