Finals week. I think I have two A's in the bag, with one more expected to come. Yay!

Also been doing a lot of car maintenance because my smog cert is due. Spark plugs, cap & rotor, air filter, repaired two vacuum leaks (yay smoke machines), emptied my catch can... and soon will replace the fuel filter, and do an oil change. I currently have a fuel cleaner (BG 44K) in the tank, cleaning out the injectors. Do I need to be doing all of this? Nah, but my car's been feeling underpowered lately and I'm covering the basics to bring it back up. Feels better already!

Additionally, I've taken apart my passenger seat to diag the stuck recliner. Dude, the cable is broken, the gear levers are gunked up, and all the shocks are out of gas. Damn! I can replace a cable and clean out the gunk, but the shocks are crazy expensive, might as well put that money towards a new seat.

Good luck with finals. I always have to change plugs / valve adjustment / oil change / or cat.

The key/cylinder set from ecs is so worth it. The doors and trunk lock and unlock like butter now. I can finally lock my doors again without leaving the window cracked and locking it by hand. And I now have 4 brand new keys! Totally worth it. Got some new emblems too. Now as soon as my nrg short hub comes in I can install my renown wheel.

Checking in from Barcelona. Cool story bro from today: Saw a Diamantschwarz E30 318i 4-door (almost exactly like mine but likely an M40), lowered, on BBS RS with French Hellas cruising by our Airbnb. Tried to give chase on foot, but my efforts were futile.

Sina, I can see your tall self sprinting like forest Gump trying to get attention from the driver.

Not likely, but I know the dude is athletic and I can picture it happening.

Im genuinely shocked that he DIDNT catch it...

In other news, I saw Kanye West on 101 & then 405 yesterday in a brand new White Ferrari. First time Ive been star struck since living in LA, even though Ive seen a lot of other famous people

LMAO. In my defense I was a little hungover/tired and it took me a few seconds to register what I head just seen. Also that's pretty sick Simon. Was Kim K riding shotty?

No she wasnt, and thank God for that because then my wife would've insisted we follow them
