what is the greater OPPO population doing? If the salt washes off the roads I might take something out of the garage and drive it. I know my daughters and I will be washing some cars regardless.
Maybe get some work done on the old Beemer too...

taking a much needed bike ride, burning off some calories. Then hopefully figuring out the suspension clunk in my saturn.

Going to a housewarming party in the afternoon, not sure about morning yet. Possibly finishing up on wiring lights on a Land-Rover if I don't finish tonight.

ball joints or sway bar bushings! Make sure they fill the potholes in first where you live!

Hopefully doing a full detail if the rain holds off. 40% chance all morning but if I can hide in my inlaw's garage I think I might go for it. My black car needs it bad. It doesn't look like it was ever done by the PO

It's only in the rear, and ALL the bushings are solid. I jacked up the car, and my dad and I checked them all. Everything seems solid, no movement where there shouldn't be any. I'm pretty sure it's the springs or struts.

Hiking!! I try to do a hike every weekend from spring through fall. I got a hot tip on a new trail with a waterfall that I'm itching to discover. Also, Cars and Coffee on Saturday.

To clarify - this kind of fender light - really only seen '65 through '67 on US spec ones. My younger brother had a set on his '67 that had the rubber boots trashed by pressure washing, and I rebuilt a set to try to get his whole signal/markers setup working so he can tag it. It's currently unpainted, which is amusing, but only a hairsbreadth from being legal.

2014 Mazda 2. My parents are helping me pay for it so I did not have many options. My dad had to approve it with all his pre conceived notions and it had to be $10-15k with less than 50k miles. The 2 doesn't depreciate very much and I plan on having it for a while, so having a warranty while I am still in school will be nice. I have already been shopping for suspension bits to turn it into a respectable hot hatch/go kart!

All-clear hidden-fastener fronts is my preferred look, but it's more of a pain to assemble/disassemble than the two-screw types because of the chrome ring you have to install with a pick. The rubber *has* to be somewhat fresh and un-split, and replacements for that type of fixture are heinously expensive. Two of ours have those lights, the rest are II/early early IIa type chrome two-screw, I think. My cousin's was a '64 and a *mix*: two hidden-fastener, two old type - we're using single-light fenders on his (pre turn-signal British lol) and since he's going to new-style fixtures that are the same front and back, we're using brake/parking dual elements as on the back to make a front signal/parking double. #Winning

oh yeah I had the two screw ones on my IIa, they looked just fine. I have dealt with the pick installed ones exactly once. With dry gaskets. Must have been just on the verge. They do look great though

Re-beer labeling Das Bierwagen. And possibly applying the fender flares so he has some dignity before being sold to a new owner who will probably let him get derelict.....

Pick-install all-clears in front (illegal as of '68 for new manufacture as not amber, I think discontinued mid-'67) and all red in back with chrome rings is the most uncommon combo, I think - America and maybe some other markets only, ~3 years.
Osiris - I can haz Euro spec?

Wouldn't be my first choice, but you could do worse. Small hatchbacks ftw!
I expect pictures and an oppo review

That BMW R is utterly sexy. I'm not really into motorcycles but I need one of those. As well as a Ural + Sidecar. As for tomorrow, I work afternoons but will most likely have a nice drive back home from Seattle with the top down!

Nope. I don't mind the mud, and washing my bike gives me a chance to cool down. All my biking clothes are specifically chosen for dirt-withstandery. Plus, just about all the bits that could be harmed by mud need to be replaced anyways.
