What did you do to your Regal today?

[OlSmokie]

I had the brake fluid flushed on my 2016 T2.
I didn't really know that you're supposed to do that on somewhat regular schedule, mine had never been done.
I don't have a lot of miles on it, but it's more of an age thing from what I understand.

Glad the Contact Cleaner did the trick Olsmokie.
Real PITA when things don't work the way they are intended.

I've never Flushed a Car/Truck/SUV Brake Fluid before.
Guess I never knew that you were supposed to, but it does make sense.
I have seen people on TV Car Shows Flushing the brake system, but that
was normally on a car that had been sitting for years or the fluid had
been contaminated.
Flushing the Brake Fluid may be on the agenda soon.

The Shocks, Struts and Springs I've been wanting to replace have been
put on hold for a little while again, had to buy a New Washer today.
I'm a little broke after the New OEM Wheels, New Tires and now the
New Washer.
My Regal looks a lot better with the New Wheels (NO Curb Rash) and
is handling much better with the new tires.

Finally got around to replacing my broken center console sliding cup holder cover. It was actually much easier than I thought it would be. Just clips to pop with a trim tool and unhooking a couple of wires to get the console insert out and then just a few 7mm screws to remove the actual cup holder. Tracks were pretty dirty and the old cover was very brittle. Cleaned up with some dry silicone lube and good as new. Small victories.

GS750,
Glad you were able to replace the Rolling Cupholder Cover.
These cars are much easier to work on than what you'd expect,
but it helps to know if you need to Pry or Remove a Bolt/Screw!

I Kinda' forgot my car has one of those Rolling Cupholder Covers.
It hasn't been closed in the 6 years I've owned the car.
I do pretty much use the Cupholders on a regular basis.
I always have Non-Spillable Containers in my car and I never
ever eat in the car.
If I buy something to eat at a Restaurant, it stays in the bag until
I return home, or I arrive at the destination I was headed to.
Very rarely do I buy a Pop at a Fast Food Place, normally if I do it
sits in the cupholder until I'm home.

Had a nice cool day today, so I went out and Changed my Oil and Filter today.
The Oil and Filter have been sitting in my garage for months, but my oil wasn't
even close to needing changed when I brought it home.
My Wife's SUV was due, so I bought hers, my daughters and mine all at the same time.

I also did a little cleaning under the hood while I was at it.
This summer as been Extremely Dry, Dusty and Smokey and it all looked like it
was under my hood!
I didn't do a great job, but it does look better!

I really wanted to buy new KYB Struts-Plus Assemblies, KYB Shocks w/Mounts and Rear Springs.
I already purchased New Front and Rear Sway Links and Rear Spring Insulators (Not installed yet).
I only want to tear my car apart once!

Earlier this spring/summer, I purchased and had installed New OEM Wheels & AC Delco TPMS Sensors.
I also purchased a set of Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 and had them mounted and balanced
on the new wheels with the new sensors.

I was about ready to order the struts, shocks and springs when our Clothes Washer bit the dust,
(back in June) that put this order on hold.
Just a day or two ago, I finally paid off our house (over $3,000), I still have enough $$$$ to place
my order at Rock Auto, but it looks like the Drivers Side Strut-Plus isn't currently available.
I've looked all around and it looks like the Drivers Side Strut-Plus is on Backorder everywhere.
I could purchase it locally for about $400, but it's hard to spend that much when Rock Auto sells
them for $165 (I'm sure there is a plentiful supply at almost $400).
Well, I guess my Fall Project is on hold yet again (I was going to do this last fall but ran short on cash).
