What have you done to your CX-5 today?

[PatrickGSR94]

Took the family out to breakfast yesterday morning, and as we were getting back into the car, my wife spilled her coffee all down the passenger side of the car. She was about to wipe it with a dry napkin and I was like NO!! Car was long overdue for a wash so that was the perfect reason to go ahead and get it done. Couple hours later and the car is all nice and shiny once again! What a night and day difference of the front wheels with all that gross brake dust gone!

Installed my car seat base and seat protector!

I drilled two holes in the bumper cover, from what I saw, zip ties were the only option. Unless of course, you created a custom mount for it. There was literally nothing except the crash bar to mount it to otherwise.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Thanks.

Installed the OEM window deflectors. Those clips are a PITA. Wifey is happy though and just in time for winter.

 

[PatrickGSR94]

How do you plan to use those in winter? I had those on an old car years ago, and would always leave the windows cracked open in the summer at work, without fear of water coming in during a pop-up summer rain shower. Don't think I really made use of them in winter.

Gave CX-5 a garage floor makeover.

Use them the same way in the summer and use them in the winter while driving to help keep the windows from fogging up. More so me as I tend to get hot when driving with the defroster on.

I'm jealous of you prime guys today. You can get cheap oil and cheap consumables for your cars. I looked at Amazon for my oil of choice and oddly they only have it in quart containers which is way too expensive.

You need to pay close attention when looking at oil on Amazon. Often the item title will display 1 qt but the price will be something way out of whack, like $96. If you look closely you find that it's actually a case of 1 qt bottles, but it's not obvious when browsing through.

Just ordered another CX5 0w20 oil change kit, plus 2 extra quarts of oil since I've been needing to add a quart mid-way between oil changes, from Amazon. Free shipping made it WAY cheaper than Priority Mazda, which wanted $35 shipping to send a $42 oil change kit.

Washed and waxed her yesterday. Today is the Miatas turn.

Wax on wax off.

yesterday i installed hood struts, trimmed the rear wiper trim so you can lift the rear wiper for cleaning and i also installed a knee bolster pad some months ago so you can brace your knee against the center console while driving spiritedly
