Took my car to the dealer to have the AC recharged. Well they managed to find the real problem, and ordered the part. They gave me a loner 09 MCS silver.

Fits great, can't wait to get a drink to put in it!

I put some more freon in mine (it's nice to have the tools to do stuff myself...) a weekend or two ago, and it's been cool here pretty much ever since--got to use it twice.

I can't believe how cool and moist this winter and spring have been here in the frying pan--we didn't even top 70 today (not that I'm complaining, mind you)....

Had a coolant line that was leaking so they replaced it and recharged the system.

Not today but over the last week. Replaced the white mirror caps with CF caps to go with the CF scoop and boot handle. Pealed the white bonnet strips off and added black 8" rally strips down the middle of the bonnet and boot.

Just gave Douglas a much needed bath. The bottle of Meguiar's ScratchX just arrived so perfect timing. I finally got rid of that dang bird crap stain on my black roof. While I was up there, I played whack-a-waterspot for an hour. Only got about 50% of them cleared up before my arms got too sore to continue (2 hrs later). ScratchX is pretty awesome though.

Is this @ me? If so, unfortunately I didn't take any before pics but since I have more waterspots to take care of tomorrow I'll take some before and after pics to share. Hopefully my camera is good enough to capture them, you can only see it at certain angles. I guess that's good but for some reason I can always see all of them.
