***ADD 8.9KM TO NEXT FUEL-UP KMS*** 93, 829 - Still trips to Lunenburg and Bridgewater. Slow leak in drivers' side - needs to be pumped up once every two days or so and is prob accounting for poor mileage. Filled at light-on on the way home from Tim Hortons. Oil change is still needed soon (92,000kms-93,000?) and is now overdue. Timing Belt replacement (96,000kms) is necessary soon as well. Next service - Oil Change, winter tires, timing belt, suspension clunks. Vehicle registration due soon, and yearly undercoating required soon as well.

***ADD 19.3KM TO NEXT FUEL-UP KMS*** 93, 239 - Still trips to Lunenburg and Bridgewater with one to New Germany. Slow leak in drivers' side front tire has become worse still - needs to be pumped up once every two days or so. Fuel light came on while heading to New Germany. Oil change is still needed soon (92,000kms-93,000?) and is now overdue. Timing Belt replacement (96,000kms) is necessary soon as well. Still a pronounced clunking from the front suspension when hitting bumps...worn bushings? Car is less peppy than I remember...spark plugs?

90,185 - Mostly trips to Lunenburg with one or two to Bridgewater and back. Still a slow leak in the drivers' side front tire, haven't had it checked to see if it's repairable or not yet. Checked and re-pumped up the other day, still looked OK this evening. Filled at light-on. Hearing a little whine under load at lower RPM in gear, will listen to see if it gets worse.

83,889kms - Trips to Bridgewater and back for the library. Still hauling a lot of cargo and colder temps/storms. Installed LED reverse bulbs from DX.com the other day, one is burnt out already due to a factory defect so regular bulbs are back in for now. Hoping to get a refund or new bulbs shipped from DX in compensation. Will have to check tire pressures / oil as fuel consumption is higher lately...?

81,428kms - Again, almost all trips to Bridgewater and back for the library with one or two to Lunenburg for work at Tim's. Tank filled at 1/4 full. Lower fuel economy due to the cold temps. Had a small accident on Jan. 8th on the Oakland Road - was going 55-60kph and hit a patch of black ice and the back end started sliding left on a right-hand corner. I corrected left to straighten out, front wheels bit, car swung hard 180 degree left and backed into the guardrail. Car was damaged but not as bad as expected. Dent in rear-left quarter panel, split bumper cover on that corner and broken lower-right tail-light clip, plus a lot of pain scrapes and scratches, but luckily ONLY on that corner!
