The most expensive car is a cheap Audi. ;)

Hope to get the wheels swapped on the RX8 this weekend so then I can take it to the shop to get them to figure out what the fuck happened with the power windows.

This car is just bad.  I expected repairs, but diving onto this, I'm finding previous hacks and it's quickly becoming a nightmare.  I'm actually looking for a non-running parts car that I can transfer the drivetrain into.  At this point, with what I've encountered the past few days,it will quickly become a money pit.

Few photos from recent.

Birthday cupcakes and downtown venues. 50mm is a little tough for pictures of buildings

Nice.  Conveniently buildings can be shot with cheaper glass.  Normally at f9-f13 so fast glass isn't necessary.  Just optical quality.  Of course they normally come together, but the el cheap I pancake lens is probably not a bad start

I probably shot most of that with waaaaaay too much aperture. Was good to get the camera back out though

, Mobil 1 has an annual protection oil where the oil and filter would be about 50 bucks. Thinking about doing that on the vehicles from now on

Shit, I pay about $60 every few months for oil and filters.  At one time I was doing every car at least twice a year.  Fuck!  That's $500!

Time to sell Ryan? The audi/vdubs from that era are terrible with electronic gremlins

Mercedes BMW VAG all have long service intervals with oil changes. I usually change the oil twice a year just because, but they don't need it.

Anything has a long service interval with a real filter and full synth.  Doesnt mean I follow that as I prefer clean oil.  Caddy gets 3k or so and done on full synth

I wish I could sell it, but in it's current condition, I only feel it's worth about half what I paid.  I'll dump some more time and a little money into it before I give up. I'm pretty handy with a wrench and parts so far have been cheap enough.

Boost is a whole different animal.  Every boosted vehicle I've owned had dirtied the oil twice as quick.   My turbo cars seemed to be notorious for this.   Dirty bastards!

Bit of a struggle with the new family dynamic. 

I never dreamed the hardest thing to date is being without my kids everyday. My son moved 2 hours away with his girlfriend and my daughter is hardly ever home. Guess after I have her college paid it just may be time to find a beach home. 

I think I would enjoy waking up in the islands selling conch shells to all the tourists.

Yes they are, my FIL's eco boost was terribly dirty.
