Cars Again

I hope everyone had a good weekend. I have been spending a large majority of my free time working in my workshop or on my workbench. ( !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! - !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! - !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! )

It was nice this weekend so I decided to leave the workshop for some vitamin D and take to care of the cars.

I put the summer wheels on the Audi and give it a bath. This is the first time in my 16 years of driving that I have ever had a proper jack to complete the Job, and it was so much faster/easier! I washed/waxed both sets of wheels while they were off the car, which is tedious but much easier when they’re off.

I also took the M3 out to stretch it’s legs which always feels good. I thought about getting out on the Grom but, I don’t currently have a valid permit. Normally such formalities wouldn’t stop me, but after the death of my friend a few months ago I’m just happy to be back in the state of mind where I can picture myself riding again.

Did I miss any good April fools from car companies? I saw the cobb vape, pretty good stuff there.

I have a proper jack but it’s too tall to fit under the front of my car. I can do the rears with it but I have to use the super sketchy included jack for the fronts.

My wife bought it for me for my birthday. She said the guy asked what kind of car I had and sold her the low profile jack. What a guy! Except he probably just heard “Audi” and assumed the car was grounded to the ground haha.

Does your E46 have the goofy jack points that use a square adapter thing like my Mini does?

Yes, the S3 needs adapters as well (slot through the middle for the Audi adapters)
