Thanks for the tire tip. I made a note of it for when the time comes. I see that yours is a well-rated UV filter. I use a UV filter on my lenses (all two of them) as well. Here's my GTI's October oil change. I added the underhood sound insulator. It's something that VW "decontented" along the way. Makes the car a little quieter.

I bet that hood liner does help. These DI engines are kind of clickety clackity. The first time I heard one I thought it sounded like it need the valve lash set. Using a fender cover shows you care. (y)

Some of the above are really fun! I have nothing so humorous to offer, unfortunately, but below are some photographs of my previous vehicle, a Hyundai Tucson 4WD (I need the four-wheel drive because of the places I need to go to shoot sometimes).

... and below is my new vehicle, a Peugeot 5008 GT, larger and much roomier inside (we are entering the “we’re beginning to have grandkids now!” era):

True, I remember driving out to Logan Airport and back to Worcester, Mass., one evening just before Christmas, in a rear-wheel drive Volvo 264 that had seen better days, to pickup my sister-in-law... The return trip on Route 90 with that sort of snow dusting you show in the photo was quite difficult, though... Fun when you're in your 30s and you still think you're immortal and you love to show the girls how you, from Europe, can expertly control the skidding while never touching the brakes, less so when you think back about it in your 60s and have grandchildren.

And there were many more road accidents victims back then. One cannot deny that the technical progress made on cars has made life much easier, and saved many lives. Sure, we were still able to do it when we were young. Heck! our great-grandparents made it in horse-drawn wagons to San Francisco if you go that way... ;)
