Bought some Michelin Stealth wiper blades, NuFinish, and one of those squeege drying things.


It's on the DMV website for VA. Got my optometrist to sign off on it today


Really need to get myself one of those, bought the car already with tint.


Finally got to see my moms new ride today. 2012 CRV.
Like it from the front, and the interior is nice, but I don't like the rear. Also, my family has a thing for Hondas :lawl:

I believe those are Camry TRD wheels.

And 87oct is $3.29/gal here. :)

Oh, well they're the corolla optional 17s here :)



Today, i rotated my front wheels to the rear.. found a nail in the rear tire .. urgh, getting that fixed up very soon, very slow leak.

Left cv joint boot? has come apart/broken .. the greeny lubricant/oil has splashed everywhere on the inside of the rim and on the wheel well .. :/

Is this an easy fix that i can do myself or should i take it to a mechanic ..? It looks like i can just push the boot back on but i'm not sure ...

Whilst doing the wheels i test fitted a 18" mitsubishi lancer vrx wheel for lols.. and it looked nice imo.

No wonder why theres clicking noises when you turn .. your cv joints are gone .. lol

yep, along with the wheel bearing that went bad and my rubbing on full lock turns, my car makes MUSIC lmao

but replacing shouldnt be too hard. pop the axle nut off, pull the axle out and reverse

Yeah been reading and it doesn't seem too hard .. just time consuming and messy ... new outer cv boot only costs about $20 . Might do it early next month .

You should too .. but i think you'll need reconditioned shafts since you're making dreadful music :lawl:

id love to do them if my wallet would let me :(
