What did you work on today ? - Page 11

Last week, when it was 15 below zero, my heater didn't work and I had to replace the thermostat on my CR-V. It comes as an assembly with the plastic housing. Not too bad, as it sits on the front of the engine, but, of course, 1 bolt had to be at the bottom and was removed/installed by braille. That actually went so well, I decided to finally locate and change the trans filter I bought 5 months ago. It is inside the case behind the trans heater/cooler. The battery tray needs to be removed for access and THAT turned into an hour and half ordeal. Once the tray was out, it took 10 minutes to change the filter...

Also, last week, I had our PDR guy push a dent out of the right front door that was up high from an SUV. He removed the door panel for it and after, the electric lock didn't function correctly. I messed with it for a short time last Wednesday evening, but I was leaving at 8 pm to drive straight thru to Tulsa OK and didn't want to get involved in a big hassle. Saturday I pulled the panel off and the door latch, as it seemed to be in that. Once I pulled the cables off the latch, it worked perfectly. OK, lets go back upstream from here, and I found he had put the cable end on the wrong side of the retainer at the inside handle.

Always something to do on our cars to entertain us...

I confiscated the wife's Charger so I could be behind the wheel to document the epic, awe-inspiring moment when it rolled from 99,999 to 100,000 miles.

I made the mistake years ago of leaving the keys to my Suburban hanging around when I had it staged in driveway at 99,998 so I could drive the kids around to watch the analog odometer roll over. She of course, borrowed it to go shopping and it came back at 100,015 and wondered why I was not happy.

Oh for crying out loud, Steve, it's just a car and an odometer...

We installed a new lift at a friends house out in Lakeway, TX. I'm taking the photo and there was one more guy out of the photo. If you notice, the car on the lift was for sale on this site about 60 days ago. It's a beautiful 1970 Corvette.
