11/14/18 71,519 miles had oil changed (and they reattached the front bumper passenger side rubber under-lip).

Ahh.....


They brought me out to the shop to show me the ruined rotor and missing pad :lol:

As I come up on eight years of Kizashi-ownership I've been contemplating my choice for these last 300+K miles.
What a pleasure to drive.



Last tank Mobil premium/regular blend 23.9MPG.

The brakes are working perfectly.


Glad I mounted the Xice snows, because we've had tons for testing. Huge confidence.


Last tank Mobil / Gulf reg/premium blending returned 28.0MPG (slow due to snow).

Reviewed my tire pressure notes from "Part II", and was pleased to see my current thinking (and practice ) are spot-on; this time I set the fronts at 43PSI and the rears to 40PSI.
Last time I was same rears, 42PSI fronts.

Best of all, they work.

12/5/18 73,881 miles had both low-beam bulbs replaced.

Cost $97; worth it.

Naturally, the new lamps required testing.
So I did.

Fortunately it was dark.
The dispersion is similar but better than whatever they replaced, and they were obviously a bit brighter, too.
Snow was falling (had to chase some down in my travels) somewhat vigorously, and the beams were so aimed as to not induce flake-reflection blinding; whew.

They brought it inside to warm up about a half hour before the tech actually touched it. Another reason I take my Kizashi to the same place.
