This past week I purchased a bright silver 2009 Touring with 16,000 miles. This will be a garage queen like my previous "toy cars". I will put it away for the winter.
This weekend:
Disabled steering wheel lock.
Washed car and removed old wax.
Compounded hood (didn't have a clay bar)
Made a plug so I can plug in my battery maintainer.
4 coats of Zaino. (more to come)
Checked and torqued all lugs. (most needed a 3' bar to break them)
Installed cabin air filter.
Ordered wheel locks.
Then, I went for a ride and "jumped on it" to the red line several times thru 1st and 2nd gears. What fun !!!
What a great car. What a great forum.
