The car year 2023 In review

Post by abscate »

It wasn’t too bad a year for big stuff. I ended up about $6500 poorer thanks to FCZp but that included a lot of non-fleet work for other nATo drivers

Biggest expense was two cats for the Bavarian Money waster, luckily on sale from FCP.
The Kat ran great except when I ran her out of fuel, twice. Dummy
I got Elizabeth back and running but have an oil leak on the top cover from a stripped bolt
Juliette the new beetle needs front calipers, as they are seizing, but….they are 7 years old….from FCP! Their account tool meant I found the parts order in 3 minutes
Ludwig Van is still stuck upstate, needs brake and transmission work.ugh.
Catherine the P2 V70 is solid but needs a front suspension refresh. I finally got the BCm reworked by Xmodex
Shagg gave great services then sacrificed herself saving my life on I95.
Evita just runs and runs, rear brakes on the agenda using like new Shagg parts

Moms 2013 Golf is a joy to drive and has 10k on it. Like new!
