Very slow progress here. Got the gaskets for the passenger side valve cover ordered and waiting for them to come in. In the mean time, been trying to find time in the evenings after the almost toddler goes to bed. Also been sick for the past 2 months so that didn't help.
Here's the valve cover...
Thanks! And yeah wish they'd concentrate more on a modern XT since crossovers are what sells these days. Or maybe even a Crosstrek XT?

Got my front brakes changed! Went with StopTech Street Performance pads and new rotors. They feel great. Definitely outperform the mystery pads on the car previously.
Starting to get a shimmy when braking, especially at highway speeds. Based on my past experience, I checked for a seized caliper and sticky caliper slider pins first. Turns out that is not the case so I guess it's most likely warped rotors.
Not much happening here with the baby boss. Driver window tint started peeling. I'll get it taken care of.... eventually. Already made a clean tear off to prevent further peeling.
Some gas station shots because why not.
