      I’m working in the garage… without cooling. It must be 115 degrees in here.

        I must be lucky with the path of the sun or whatever cause it stays cool here (no cooling), but we're a good 10-15 degrees less than you on hot days. Oh and I went for the more expensive garage door with insulation. Must help!

          Is your garage insulated? I am 15 min away from David and its boiling, need to finish the garage.

            First wash since it was delivered last fall. Took it for a dry off spin around the block and a couple pics. Looking forward to the winter upgrade list on this extremely humid day.

              Installed some new A pillars and dreading doing the B pillars. I've heard it's not fun at all.

                  I can see that 2 of the walls are finished, so I assume there's insulation. One side is unfinished. I'm 25 mins north on 101 and it cools down luckily.

                      Dealing with FCP and the headlight lens they sent twice both had defects. These are genuine OEM. I get one lens but twice? Jeez.

                        Swapped in a refreshed steering wheel. bmwfnatic did the leather, and TexaZ3 redid all the trim for me a while back. Minty. Highly recommend both of their services!

                            Alignment, front was really off after rubber boot replacement. Rear was off as well, perhaps after I installed GC shock mounts?.

                            Anyone in the SFV, highly recommend Alabama Alignment shop on Canoga and Sherman Way. $100

                              Damn $100 alignments are still a thing? Here in the Bay Area all the good shops are $200-$250 with some shops that are like $300-$400.
