The solution is clearly to go with a bigger boat where the mast (and the boat) has to go on the roof!

312k mile oil change today, tire rotation & the addition of some “dirt deflectors”. Hoping to reduce the tendency for snow/ice buildup in the rear rims.

It it doesn't fit right, it becomes a tire lathe.

LOL um, is it unethical to thank your post for humor?

Not sure a tire balance will take care of that sport mod...

Replaced 4 pretty gnarly looking brake hoses and bled the brakes, I was on borrowed time with the rear ones! The fluid came out clean and clear despite being at least 10 years old. It sure feels different/ better now. Does anyone have a good technique for dealing with these little sprung tensioners on the brake hoses shown in the second picture?

Today I discovered my S60 needs a replacement starter. Thanks to RobertDIY's video for helping me easily diagnose it:

Have a real good look at the teeth on your flywheel while you have the starter out. May be a good idea to have someone rotate the crank while you observe/video the teeth.

I had one of the handful of bad flywheels in one of my cars a while ago. I took me about 15 minutes to replace it (once the transmission was removed).
