Gave it a bath. Haven't been home for 2 months and it's been sitting in the garage for atleast 3 months without being driven. I detailed my 2.5RS this morning as well. I've driven it about 10k miles over the past 2 months. So it was much needed.

12 years & 7 months here, 36 oil changes, 1 brake pad change, 1 set of sparkplugs, 1 new battery, 1 new clutch, 1 timing belt with all the goodies, 1 a/c clutch and one strut. If you don't count tires, which I seem to use up fast, that's about $20 a month in maintenance and repair.

And I remember when I bought the car, a lot of people were complaining that it was going to be a high maintenance cost vehicle. I've really got no complaints.

Today, after bragging about how little the maintenance has been on my car, I notice the cooling fan running after the key is off. Ordered a new fan controller from STM.

A little late, as I've been doing this all week and just got everything fully wrapped up.

Some significant rot removal.

Spent most of its life in Maryland and Virginia. I picked this one up at an out of state auction.
