Last time I had a substantial air leak, it turned out there was a crack in the rim wall... that was 4 months after having a tire shop put new tires on. Of course they would deny having done any damage

I updated my car's To-Do list, including getting the passenger seatbelt to retract

Today I picked my car up from the shop. They fixed the oil leak and did an oil chance and said the car ran perfectly. I don't know how they figured that though. The car makes a clicking sound as it accelerates and it kinda drives like the hand brake is like a quarter up the whole time .... Bad valves? Anyone have any ideas of what to do now besides call the shop?

Finally got around to swapping in my LED license plate bulbs. I would just like to publicly thank Alex for reminding me no less than 42 times what size to order because I'm too simple to remember myself lol

36mm festoon bulbs. I got mine with 2 LED's each, though you could probably fit more in the light housing. These are the ones I got:

I'll snap some pics when it gets dark tonight

That's quite funny.

Sure, he's never gotten stuck, but that doesn't mean he's had his fair share of "oh ****" moments when his FWD car on all seasons starts to get squirrelly. Quattro just makes things less nerve racking and like you said, more fun.
