What did you do to/with your CM today?

These are usually fun threads.
Post up pics, comments on events or upgrades or experiences with your CM!

Rainy few days here in the upper mid-west. Winter is coming...
I ordered new winter wheels and tires today for the wife's CM.

Went with these:

I'll keep this rolling...
She got her first proper bath last night. Paint decontamination (IronX, Clay) and a coat of wax. There was a ton of fallout all over the car from sitting outside on the dealer lot (by a highway).
I found many scratches from the dealer prep (clumsy use of the polisher) and even a dent on the front hood. Had I ordered the can new I'd have told them not to even unwrap it.

Looks like it! I recently ordered and installed a set on mine as well. IMO it fits the car nicely and completes the bumper/wheel arches well...

40% tint on front windows. I'm happy with how it looks.
Was going to do 70% on the windshield but they didn't have any on hand so will go back for that at another time - in the winter it's not such a big deal but in the summer even 70% provides a good amount of heat rejection.

Today... wife's dropping it off at MINI for it's first service appt. :(

It's pulling/drifting to the right as if it has plans that don't involve me. Hopefully just alignment, but interesting that it's happening at only 3,800 miles (2017 CM S All4.)

not much

Yeah, not much today. The Mini is out in the driveway. Wifey didn't drive it to work today, which usually means it needs gas.
I checked the air in the tires and looked at the coolant and put some windshield washer fluid in.
Can't check oil, kinda feel like I havn't done anything , meh.
At least I get to drive it,

Now, the old Jeep (19), it needs me

Have a good one,

Finally got my black door handle covers in the mail. Once I install them, all the chrome is gone. I'll post pics after.
