Love that Nautic Blue. Mine does have near the shine of that. Nice!

I love the colour in person but it's very hard to take a good photo of it where it looks as blue as it is. At least with the phone

We need the Nautical Blue thread user group

It’s such a rich , deep blue a camera rarely does it justice

Had a door buzz that has been driving me up the trees and causing intense desire to roll the car off the cliff, but only if driver window was completely closed. If i rolled it down even a milimeter it would stop buzzing, but my OCD would not be satisfied with this compromise. Took the door panel off, found that it was window regulator mechanism touching door frame and bent the door frame out a little to ensure it stops touching it. Wham! problem solved.

Also used suggestion posted by IVIUSTANG to drill out rivet in another door that was causing buzzing. Much happier now.

Also installed a hitch. All in all, a busy day

3rd ATF drain and fill c.3k miles after last one. Fluid color on 3rd sample only marginally better than factory fill. Still getting a muddy brown as opposed to cherry red. I think my next run at this will be "Gibbons Method." Too little post-fill driving to remark on any changes in shift characteristics as a result of the drain and fill.

Steve-- now that you have VIDA, I might have to swing by for a fluid counter reset after my next drain and fill.

Just keep doing it and it'll look fine the fourth or fifth time. St least that's what mine took. I just drove around the block a few times going through the gears between them though.

The counter really doesn't do anything at all except throw an error code if it reaches a limit.

Did the cam seals and water pump yesterday. Timing belt, tensioner and idler pulley have about 20k on them.

Replaced the faulty headlight wiper motor so I can inspect the car.

Of course it started to rain just when I started but you gotta finish what you start so I got completely soaked while working.
