Went on the I-5 again to a Costco a couple towns over, grabbed some Canadian Whiskey so I could celebrate my life’s progress next weekend.
The car itself, after three weeks of solid ownership, has been nothing short of an amazing first car. Hardly any serious maintenance issues, only some cosmetic matters to deal with, and ultimately, a long-term maintenance plan is already in place.
The suspension feels amazing - and I don’t mean in a comfortable casualscrub way . I feel the road, and it is enjoyable. It doesn’t lean or sway, and it just feels very commanding.
The odd part is, today and yesterday, I’ve experienced instances where the car suddenly wanted to swerve on its own, which I’ve put down to the road surface having some weird issues. These instances randomly, and rarely happen. If anyone can shed light on this, I’d appreciate it.
Meanwhile, I managed to finish working on an EEOC rebuttal to an outstanding case that I filed last year. While I don’t expect a favorable response from the commission because the employer in question technically gets a free pass due to the number of employees, I’m hoping this at least comes up to a proper outcome.
That aside, how was your Sunday, everyone?

I’m currently drinking because I don’t have to work tomorrow. It’s great.

The random swerve is road surface stuff and the fact that you feel it means you’ve got good feedback. My M5 wants to pull the wheel out of my hands at two places on my commute. It’s just the road.
Stoked to hear you’re stoked with your car.

That was what I thought. Thanks for the clarification. It is much appreciated.

Roads here are pretty shitty. My car does it a lot because it has high performance tires and good feedback for something with electric power steering (it’s even more pronounced in something with rear wheel drive and hydraulic power steering, which one of my cars has, but I don’t drive it much). The only section of high quality road I can think of in the metro area is 520 east of the bridge through the Bellevue Way exit. I drive that section to verify my steering is okay...
The section of I-90 as it crosses Mercer Island is also pretty smooth in most lanes, except with some lane shifting that makes some of the rain grooves not follow the direction you’re traveling, which causes slight pulls to the left or right in spots.
