Changed spark plugs for the first time at 45K. Was just a little anxious to see what the old plugs looked like after running about twice normal boost for the last 25K. That had me just a tad worried. The plugs looked perfect! All the electrode porcelain was the same light tan color clear to the bottom, plug gap was still spot on and heat discoloration was the same on all 4 plugs. Definitely looked used, but indicated the engine is running just as it's supposed to. One less thing to worry about, LoL. Another set of OEM NGK's goes in promptly.
Thanks for the sympathy. I HATE when I do #%^& like that!! Drove her to work today, and nothing is amiss, so guess I dodged a bullet. I feel bad for her so now I have to buy her a present and give her a nice warm bath...
I consider myself patriotic with a profound respect for the military, but if GoBadges didn't have these options, I probably would have got a shamrock or a swervy arrow or something. I'm really glad they had these two.

They are great!!! Hey, I have the swervy (great word, BTW) curve, and the checkered one (got a checkered theme going on!).
Bend the Rules, Rule the Bends - MINI's do this the BEST!!!!
Picked Seamus up from the body shop, it feels good to drive him again. His roof now looks naked, he doesn't go in for his new replacement graphic until mid next week.
Surprised my wife with this. Had no idea if she'd "get it", but she was giggling for an hour.
Also, I installed my Craven Flexpod Fixie, Garmin 1490 and EcoRoute HD module. Power routed behind the panels to the center console. Works and looks great!
Wash and partial wax. The body shop says I have to wait another week or so to wax the new paint, so I only did the front.
I have water spots on the car from the hard water we have out here, and I don't know how to get them off....off to the detailing thread to figure it out.
Congrats on the laser blue/black mini. That's the one I was looking at...so beautiful.....
Thought I was going to jump into a Nice Detail, but couldn't find my Best of Show Wax, by the time I found it I was to tired and it got to be to late to really start on anything, it ended up being in my New PC Box, along with a Carnuba Wax Stick and 3 6" Red Foam Wax Pads!!
