Time for regular service - I more prefer extra special service :p. CaR is dirty, which seems normal lately. Tires are getting near the end of their service, must browse Tire-Rack.

Fixed my stupid refrigerator ice dispenser door; warm air was getting in due to the causing the ice to melt and refreeze which, apparently, is bad for proper operation. Thank you for the ability to order parts online - I don't know how we ever got by without those online parts diagrams.

- Planning a Wedding schedule is driving me nuts, I just don't have the same brain cells to understand this...
- My R is becoming an eyesore (to me), I can't seem to overlook the bad spots on the car.
- Time crunch

Raves
- Long weekend and great weather, I'll probably be home doing major cleanups(mini rant).
- Found FireVortex, a neat addon to Chrome/Firefox for any of the VMG forums (yes this one too). Now I can see all the permissions of users as a mod :D
- Lokos like I might be wrapping a 2013 GTi, a 2013 Golf R, and an A5.

-I live too far from Carlisle to get there this weekend.
-I still have a tiny drip of trans fluid on my R, and no good answer to go about fixing it
-The house is still a disaster (we had sewer pipe failure, which lead to all kinds of remodel, ugh)
-The aforementioned house disaster has kept me from working nearly as much as I should, and my boss will be in town next week. Good thing he's really cool. I just feel like I let him down when I am not at "AWESOME" level (like normal)

Raves
-STILL LOVING THE R
-Replacement seat bottom scheduled to install next Friday!
-Alive, Healthy and in good spirits

Yes indeed! Our brains are wired much different than our significant others. :D And if you figure it out, write a book. You'll be fabulously wealthy!

...a 2013 Golf R...
I saw one in the showroom a few weeks ago. $37,000 for a Golf is a lot of money. I know it is the hot rod version with the higher output turbo 2.0T, AWD, etc., but it is still a lot of money.

Hood or roof? I'm all for the roof. Wrapped hoods make the car look like it was in an accident though

I just saw that you are in Franklin, I just moved to Woonsocket last month. Hopefully i'll bump into you. I'd love a look at your install for when I plan my own FMIC.
